Depends on what your "standard" is, Sil. I have repeatedly measured my
glass droppers on 2-ounce bottles (from Ginsberg Scientific) and found
them *20* to a ml.
I have also found, by the way, that different fluids measure differently.
Maybe the more viscous make bigger drops? I don't remember, but I have
found this discrepancy. Doesn't matter as long as you keep the same
material in the same bottle and note the amounts. But I agree that all
drops are not created equal.
