Backpacking Light MiniDrop 0.35 oz Dropper Bottles (3-Pack)

Features:

• Function: These bottles include a dropper insert (removable for refilling, or for packaging more viscous solutions or powders) and cap.
• Caps: Many of our customers repackage AquaMira in bottles with white (Solution A) and yellow (Solution B) caps, and repackage DEET in bottles with red caps. The bottles accept permanent ink well - we recommend felt tip "Sharpie" brand pens for writing on the bottles (noting that alcohol based solutions will still wash off the ink).

Specifications:

• Capacity: 10 mL capacity (0.35 oz of water). This equates to approximately 275 drops of liquid per bottle. If you were to repackage your AquaMira solutions into these bottles, a 2-bottle set would give you enough solution to treat about 25 liters of water (see information below under "Drop Size" regarding AquaMira dosing with these bottles), and collectively weigh 1.05 oz (as compared to a full AquaMira set, which weighs more than 3.0 oz). Thus, we recommend the smaller bottles for trips of up to about 5 days, or as a backup when a filter is your primary means of water treatment.
• Material: This bottle assortment includes a variety of both opaque and clear bottles. Opaque bottles prevent reaction of solutions with UV light resulting from sun exposure, which can reduce the efficacy of some chemicals, including AquaMira, bleach, DEET, antimicrobial soaps, and others. The plastic material is a high density polyethyelene, does not leach plasticizers into your solutions (these are food- and pharma-grade bottles), does not react with AquaMira, DEET, alcohol, or any water or soap-based solutions, and most importantly, are very light!
• Weight: 0.175 oz (4.96 g) per bottle.
• Drop Size: The dispensed drop size is 0.00127 oz (36 microliters). Compare this to the dispensed drop size of AquaMira, which is approximately 0.00200 oz (57 microliters). Thus, the recommended equivalent AquaMira dosage for this bottle is 11 drops per liter, rather than the manufacturer recommendation of 7 drops per liter.
