Rapid and near-quantitative removal of individual portions of solvent is possible with a minimum of manipulation.

A 1 mm. bore capillary is sealed to the end of a 70 mm. length of 14 mm. I. D. Pyrex tubing and bent in the shape shown in the Figure. A "dimple" may be made just above the capillary to prevent plugging.
