Product Description
Insert a thermometer into microscale apparatus in seconds without threads or ground joints. The flexible adapter grips the thermometer stem and seals on the glassware, giving a fast, positive connection that is easy to reposition during distillations. It also reduces the risk of breaking thermometers in tight-fitting joints.
