Automatic Tilt Measures

Quick Answer: Automatic Tilt Measures are borosilicate glass tilt-action dispensers built for rapid, repetitive volumetric liquid delivery, with a self-refilling reservoir design that reduces manual re-filling compared to a standard tilt measure. They suit high-throughput dispensing in analytical, pharmaceutical, and academic laboratories.

Product Description

Automatic Tilt Measures work on the same tilt-action principle as our standard Tilt Measures: tilting the instrument fills the graduated chamber to a fixed volume, and tilting it back delivers that measured dose. Made from borosilicate glass, they are used across pharmaceutical, environmental testing, and academic research settings wherever a laboratory needs to dispense the same volume of a reagent repeatedly without manual pipetting.

What Makes This Version “Automatic”

The key difference from a standard tilt measure is the reservoir arrangement: an automatic tilt measure is typically connected to (or built with) a supply reservoir so that the measuring chamber refills itself as part of the same tilt motion, rather than requiring the operator to dip the instrument back into a stock container between doses. This builds on the same core tilt-action principle as the standard version while reducing manual handling for high-throughput, repetitive dispensing. The precise refill/reservoir configuration varies by model — confirm the exact mechanism for this listing with our sales team.

Care & Maintenance

• Rinse thoroughly after each reagent to prevent cross-contamination between dispensing runs.
• Handle the borosilicate glass carefully — chips or cracks near the measuring chamber can affect dispensed volume accuracy.
• Keep the reservoir and refill pathway clean and free of residue so the self-refill action stays consistent.
• Store away from bench edges where a knock could damage the glass reservoir or measuring stem.
• Periodically check the dispensed volume against a calibrated reference to confirm continued accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Automatic Tilt Measure used for?
It is used to repeatedly dispense a fixed volume of liquid reagent, commonly in pharmaceutical, environmental, and academic laboratory settings that need consistent, repeatable dosing.

How is this different from the standard Tilt Measures?
Both use the same tilt-action dispensing principle. The automatic version adds a self-refilling reservoir arrangement that reduces the need to manually dip the instrument back into a stock container between doses.

What material is it made from?
Borosilicate glass, chosen for its chemical resistance and dimensional stability during repeated use.

Can I use this for any liquid reagent?
It is designed for general laboratory reagent dispensing; compatibility with specific aggressive chemicals should be confirmed with our sales team before use.

How do I maintain dispensing accuracy over time?
Keep the glassware clean, handle it carefully to avoid chips near the measuring chamber, and periodically check the dispensed volume against a calibrated reference.

What volume does it dispense per tilt?
The fixed dispensed volume varies by model — please confirm the exact volume for this listing with our sales team.
