A metering apparatus including a scale on which a metering head is disposed in such a manner that the scale measures the weight of the metering head, and a metering tool for taking up and dispensing substance, attached to the metering head. The metering tool is configured as a glass tubule having a glass punch slidably disposed therein, forming a seal. The metering head is provided with a first gripping tool for clamping the glass tubule in place and with a second gripping tool for clamping the glass punch in place. The metering head furthermore has a raising and lowering device for raising and lowering the second gripping tool relative to the first gripping tool, such that the glass punch can be raised and lowered in the glass tubule of the metering tool.

Metering apparatus

An apparatus for metering a substance into a target container includes a gripping tool, with which a metering tool can be picked up and released, and a scales. The metering tool is configured as an adhesive body which is wetted by a substance so that a small amount of substance measurable by the scales remains adhering to the metering tool. Once the desired amount of substance has been picked up with the metering tool, the latter, including the substance adhering thereto, is released into the target container. A controller controls the scales and the gripping tool and decides whether the amount of substance picked up by the metering tool is usable or whether more substance should be picked up or whether the metering tool should be discarded and somewhat less substance picked up with a fresh metering tool.

Apparatus for metering a substance

A container for taking up and dispensing a substance includes a glass tubule, a glass punch that slides adjustably in the glass tubule, forming a seal, and a glass sleeve closed on one side, in which the glass tubule is accommodated. The glass sleeve is shorter than the glass tubule, so that the glass tubule projects out of the glass sleeve. The glass punch is longer than the glass tubule and projects out of the glass tubule at the end situated outside of the glass sleeve. The glass punch does not fill the glass tubule completely, so that a substance chamber remains in the region of the end of the glass tubule situated within the glass sleeve.
