Product Description
Keep atmospheric moisture out of sensitive microscale reactions with a bent drying tube sized for 14/10 glassware. Its expansion bulb holds a charge of calcium chloride drying agent, allowing vapors to vent while protecting the reaction from humidity. It is a small part that prevents a common cause of failed reactions in teaching labs.
This listing is for Kimble catalog number 746095-0000: KONTES Bent Drying Tube. This modified drying tube follows the design shown in the textbook Microscale Organic Chemistry by Szafran, Pike and Singh. It is made from 33 expansion, low extractable borosilicate glass meeting USP Type I and ASTM E438, Type I, Class A, with a short 14/10 ground joint. Overall it measures about 85 mm wide and 45 mm high for a compact profile. Order it from LIGHT LABS and keep your lab stocked with genuine DWK Life Sciences products.
