Product Description
Keeping atmospheric moisture out of a reaction or a sensitive reagent is often as simple as adding a drying tube. This straight drying tube holds desiccant in a bulb chamber so air entering your apparatus passes through the drying agent first, protecting water-sensitive chemistry.
This listing is for Kimble catalog number 562490-0000: KONTES Straight Drying Tube. The tube has a bulb desiccant chamber and a stem designed to fit a BEVEL-SEAL adapter or a rubber stopper, with an 8 mm stem OD. Fill the bulb with a suitable desiccant and pack with glass wool or cotton. It is made from low-extractable 33 expansion borosilicate glass meeting USP Type I and ASTM E438 Type I, Class A.
