The device will perform well for 1 mL titrations and perhaps up to 10 mL reactions, beyond that it will be difficult to use and offer no advantage over a canula.
The device will require some practice to learn to use and careful attention to proper procedure - that is to say, it will need operator training.
Finally, it has an equipment barrier to use that a lab will need to commit to overcoming.
Bottom line - I see an incremental advantage for small scale pyrophor use. For the application described - a teaching lab, it does make sense.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
