Product Description
Measuring surfactants in water to a recognized standard method requires the right apparatus. This sublation extraction apparatus is built for the gas-stripping procedure described in Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, Method 5540B, which separates surfactants from aqueous samples for analysis.
This listing is for Kimble catalog number 586800-0000: KONTES Sublation Extraction Apparatus. In sublation, gas bubbled through the sample carries surface-active compounds into an overlying solvent layer where they are collected. The apparatus is made from low-extractable 33 expansion borosilicate glass meeting USP Type I and ASTM E438 Type I, Class A, providing a clean, inert vessel for trace work in environmental and wastewater laboratories. LIGHT LABS supplies the complete DWK Life Sciences line, including Kimble, Wheaton and DURAN labware.
