Explanation:
does not rise higher than to within 20 mm of the top.
pessoal o texto é claríssimo: há um solvente pingando nesse copinho. O analista deve manter uma razão de gotejamento tal que o nível de líquido no copinho (timble) NÃO ULTRAPASSE uma distância de 20 mm de sua borda. (para não derramar). Notem que a preposição "of" está sobrando, o autor quis dizer FROM the top.
