To measure a dropper: First, check the dropper’s volume, usually marked in milliliters (ml). Squeeze the bulb to fill the dropper and release slowly, then observe the liquid inside. Use the marked measurements on the dropper to gauge the amount accurately. For precise dosing, practice filling to the same level repeatedly. If no markings are present, use a measuring cylinder to gauge dropper capacity by counting the drops needed to reach a specific volume. This ensures consistent and accurate measurements.
