On the dosing of oils, liquids and drops
Sound familiar?
- Dropper bottles that won’t dispense anything.
- Oils where you are instructed to take exactly 100 drops "or about 1 teaspoon", which is highly imprecise and causes huge problems, especially with a slightly shaky hand.
- Dosing pipettes that are said to contain exactly 1 ml but have no graduation marks.
Here is one possible solution to the problem — simply measure it with a syringe!
The material is food-safe, so suitable for dietary supplements in the form of liquids or oils.
The very small syringes allow measurement in 0.1 ml increments.
Here is a conversion aid:
One drop of water is approximately 0.05 ml or 0.05 g i.e. 50 mg.
Oil has a different density and a different drip behaviour to water. Therefore:
One drop of oil is approximately 0.04 ml or 0.035 g i.e. 35 mg.
The large syringes are suitable for replacing the measures "tablespoon" or "teaspoon".
"1 tablespoon" corresponds to an amount of 15 ml, "1 teaspoon" corresponds to 5 ml.
If some has already been removed from the jar and the liquid level has dropped, the long blunt stainless-steel syringe tip can be attached to get it out more easily.
This is expressly not suitable for medical purposes because it is blunt.
Therefore we do not sell the product as a "medical device" but merely as a technical aid for measuring oils or liquids.
Even though the syringes are offered as disposable syringes, reuse is advisable for reasons of economy. If you want to measure liquids such as herbal drops, you should rinse the syringe with clean water after use and dry it. Likewise, a syringe that has already been used and that is to be used again and still contains water residues from the last cleaning should be rinsed with clean water before reuse.
After measuring oils, the syringe should be rinsed with a liquid that can dissolve oil. This can be pure alcohol; if that is not available at home and you happen to enjoy strong spirits, it can also be a schnapps or another high-proof spirit.
The limit of usability is reached when the syringe can no longer be drawn up easily.
The idea of using a syringe as a dosing aid came to us personally when taking our own medicines or supplements for the same reason — extremely impractical usage instructions for drops and oils.
It is therefore experimental and we accept no liability for the application of this idea. That is the responsibility of each individual.
Durable PET material, reusable, easy to wash. The syringes have an adapter onto which the needle is simply pushed. This allows easy cleaning of the cannula. The plungers are easy to press. The material is food-safe.
Please note our order limit
These syringes are intended as dosing aids for our products. That is why we offer them at such a low price. After customers, e.g. from cosmetics companies, ordered them by the dozen — which was not the purpose of this offer or the discounted price — we have limited the supply to a maximum of one syringe per order.
Important note: The syringes were apparently originally medical syringes; they are individually hygienically sealed and carry an expiry date for medical products. This expired in 2025; we already received the goods in this condition. However, the expiry date is irrelevant, since this is now explicitly a technical item for DIY work or for measuring liquids, and therefore the expiry date is not a reason for complaint.
