Can I refill reagent bottles? How?

[jyo1]

I recently purchased a larger (0.47L/1pt) bottle of R-0871 FAS-DPD reagent due the frequency we test and the significantly lower cost in that volume.

Now my question: Can I refill my small 1oz R-0871 bottle once empty? Is that considered a bad practice? If it's okay, how the heck do I actually refill it?

If it's not a great idea, what do people use to dose out from these larger bottles?

The tip pops off.

Refill the empty bottle.

Taylor says the dropper tips eventually deform, so they recommend refilling no more than 8 times without replacing the tips.

Got a link to where you saw that?

Interesting they don’t publish it anyplace.

Thanks for sharing.
