I really dislike having to clean a syringe πŸ«£πŸ™ˆπŸ˜‚

I use a pipettor with ejectable tips. It is very much the definition of overkill, but it's clean and easy. (I also do all that on top of a silicone work surface with raised edges, covered in paper towels)

I have no idea what a pipettor with ejectable tips is πŸ˜…. Ah yes the worksurface I have to say I feel a little brave. Nothing except a roll of toilet paper nearby. If I do spill it's usually very little. It's not as dangerous as people think it would be πŸ˜…

It's a fancy way of moving liquids like in a lab, for example to/from test tubes. Here's a picture of me making samples with mine a while back: https://masto.ai/@jimp/113574021724722225 πŸ“ ad8ce7c8…

I know what it is from my time as a biologist, but they’re not cheap kit! At least not if you want them down to the microlitre. Afraid ink is definitely messy home syringe for me now.

This wasn't that fancy, I think maybe $30 or so, another $15 or so for a massive hoard of tips. Before this, I tried several types of little pipettes and syringes and they all were frustrating in various ways (especially cleaning). I'm clumsy enough on a good day, let alone when dealing with ink, so I need to reduce the likelihood that I make a mess. A small price to pay to help keep me sane.

Luckily it's not just me disliking cleaning syringes πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚. That sounds very handy. I will look into that

I dug back in my order history and found where I bought it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HPJQD5H?th=1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09W64WL4C?th=1 The tips went up in price a bit, but it's still more than I'll probably ever conceivably use, and it didn't seem possible to get less there. But that was ~2 years ago, probably better sources out there now.
