Abstract. A new version of microscale Kipp apparatus is proposed. The gas generating process is taking place in a Beral pipets. The liquid reactant has to be inserted with a syringe into the pipet bulb. Depending on the required gas volume that should be produced, two modifications are presented. This setup provides conditions for generation of every gas that can be produced without heating in reaction between two liquids or solid and liquid substances, or even between two gases. It is especially suitable for generation of nitric oxide, chlorine, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen etc. The application of this apparatus is illustrated with several experiments. The idea provides simple, safe and low cost experiments suitable for hands-on work.
