Examples of glycerine

glycerine
In fact, it was necessary to thoroughly wash the pipe with glycerine-water mixture.
Finally, the 500 ml container was topped off with glycerine and capped.
Once a sufficient amount of clear glycerine is drawn into each needle, the vacuum is relieved before the needle is removed from the beaker.
This index-corrected glycerine is then used both in the tank and in the external rectangular containment vessel.
For the external chamber, any water-diluted layer on the surface is removed and additional fresh glycerine is added.
Since glycerine tends to coat and stick rather well, special attention should be taken when cleaning up spills and drips.
Some runs were made with water in place and the linear limit is of the glycerine-water mixture.
All nematode parasites were studied as wet mounts in a mixture of ethanol and glycerine.
All the nematodes recovered were fixed and preserved in 70% ethanol and 5% glycerine.
We really have nothing in our equations to tell us whether the oil or the glycerine-water mixture will be on the wall.
When water was used instead of glycerine, much thinner layers were deposited.
The purpose of the external fluidfilled vessel is to minimize the optical distortion due to the curved glycerine-wall-air interface.
Also, since glycerine is strongly hygroscopic, the prepared fluid must be kept sealed from the atmosphere as much as possible.
As it emerged from the filter banks, it passed over glass plates covered in glycerine intended to trap the last remaining microbes.
Care must be taken not to pull too much clear glycerine into the needle.
