Capillaries, the simplest, cheapest and most easily accessible tools in the chemistry laboratory are put to several uses such as checking the solubility, detecting a functional group, and performing reactions. These innovative uses of open-ended capillaries reduce the consumption of chemicals, solvents, and reagents and considerably lessen the time required to perform all these functions.
