Abstract

Plastic disposable syringes have many applications in laboratories of natural sciences. This article describes the use of a disposable syringe as a grease applicator. It is possible to grease ground glasses and quickfit joints directly from the tube but then one tube can be used only by one person (whereas sometimes grease is supplied in 250 mg tin packs).
