Vinkyper
Again, not a lot of useful context!
This is an item on a list of utensils to be requisitioned and sterilised for processing the raw ingredients in the lab.
Along with stirrers, beakers, pestle and mortar, and so on, this process requires a ´vinkyper´ and I wonder if anyone has heard of it in this sense?
I don not think it is a typo: although my source is a PDF of varying quality, this patch looks clear.
And of course, everything has been checked, dated and signed by two people, so it should be correct.
Some kind of bottle-opener or other tool?
I have no idea, and don´t know where to look, so thanks for any suggestions!

pipette
Eller måske 'siphon'?
Er det måske det, der normalt kaldes en hævert på dansk?

Vinkyper -> omstikning -> hævert, don't know if these assumptions are right, but might lead you in the right direction. See photo in link below.
