Can someone explain the use for this?

[–] Marlem@feddit.de 37 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's used for HPLC analysis, where a lot of ports are needed to connect all the little tentacles of the machine

[–] runeko@programming.dev 11 points 10 months ago

Yep. But the cheaper alternative is a regular bottle with one cap that has multiple ports for the tubes.

Probably chemestry, for mutiple attachments.

HPLC is High Performance Liquid Chromatography, a chemistry method that's used to analyze chemicals. Don't know why they would need this thing though

Heck of a party bong

Wouldn't want to be the guy that gets the top

So ..... either attach a tube to direct the flow ... or just place the bottle at the right angle and just free base it?

Spray and pray, baby!
