Fractionating column

Original price was: $950.00.Current price is: $750.00.

A fractionating column is a vertical cylindrical apparatus used in distillation processes to separate liquid mixtures based on their boiling points. It consists of a series of trays, packing, or structured internals that facilitate multiple vaporization-condensation cycles as the vapor rises through the column. This design increases surface area, allowing for better heat and mass transfer.

Description

Uses of Fractionating column

  • Separation of Mixtures:

It is primarily used to separate mixtures of liquids with different boiling points, allowing for the purification of specific components.

  • Fractional Distillation:

The column enhances the efficiency of fractional distillation, which involves repeated vaporization and condensation. This process helps in isolating more volatile components from less volatile ones.

  • Purification of Solvents:

Fractionating columns can be used to purify solvents by removing impurities and undesired components based on their boiling points.

  • Production of High-Purity Products:

In chemical synthesis, fractionating columns can help in obtaining high-purity reagents or products by separating reaction by-products.

  • Chemical Analysis:

They are also used in analytical chemistry to analyze the composition of mixtures, as they allow for the collection of fractions that can be further examined.

  • Petrochemical Industry:

In the lab, fractionating columns can mimic processes used in the petrochemical industry for separating crude oil into various fractions like gasoline, diesel, and kerosene.

  • Research Applications:

They are used in various research applications, including organic synthesis and materials science, to investigate the properties of different substances.

Amber Bottles Polystop

$0.01
A laboratory glass amber bottle is a specialized container commonly used in laboratories to store and protect light-sensitive substances, chemicals, or solutions. These bottles are made from amber-colored glass, which provides protection against ultraviolet (UV) and visible light radiation. The amber glass helps to minimize the degradation and decomposition of light-sensitive contents by blocking a significant portion of the light spectrum. The amber color of the glass is achieved by adding iron, sulfur, and other compounds during the glass manufacturing process. This coloration is what gives the bottles their distinctive amber or brown appearance. Laboratory glass amber bottles typically come in various sizes, ranging from small volumes of a few milliliters to large capacities of several liters. They often have a screw-on or snap-on cap, providing a secure and airtight seal to prevent spills, evaporation, and contamination. Due to their ability to protect light-sensitive substances, laboratory glass amber bottles are widely used in chemistry, biology, pharmaceuticals, and other scientific fields where sample integrity and stability are crucial.

Aspirator Bottle Glass

Original price was: $6,500.00.Current price is: $5,500.00.
A laboratory aspirator glass bottle, also known as a vacuum aspirator bottle or a vacuum filtration flask, is a specialized glass container used in scientific laboratories for various applications. It is designed to create a vacuum or negative pressure, which allows the filtration of liquids through a porous medium like a filter paper or a membrane. The bottle typically has a conical or pear-shaped body with a sidearm or neck near the top. This neck is where a rubber or silicone stopper is inserted, allowing for the attachment of tubing or a hose to connect to a vacuum source or water aspirator. (Available in 2.5l,5l,10l,) Laboratory aspirator glass bottles are commonly used in vacuum filtration processes to separate a solid precipitate from a liquid solution. When connected to a vacuum source, the air inside the bottle is removed, creating a pressure difference that draws the liquid through the filter, leaving the solid behind on the filter paper. These bottles come in various sizes to accommodate different filtration needs and are an essential tool in many research, analytical, and quality control laboratories for tasks like separating particulate matter, sterilizing solutions, and performing various filtration techniques. They are often made of durable borosilicate glass to withstand the pressure changes and chemical interactions that may occur during laboratory operations.

Barometer tubes

$0.01
A barometer tube is a slender, sealed, and typically transparent tube used in barometers to measure atmospheric pressure. It is usually filled with a liquid, often mercury, but sometimes water or another fluid, which rises or falls within the tube in response to changes in atmospheric pressure. The height of the liquid column in the tube serves as an indicator of the current atmospheric pressure, with higher pressure causing the liquid to fall and lower pressure causing it to rise. This measurement helps in predicting weather changes and understanding atmospheric conditions.

blow pipes

$0.01
A blowpipe apparatus is a scientific instrument used in analytical chemistry and mineralogy for conducting various tests, particularly flame tests and microchemical reactions. It typically consists of a small tube or pipette through which a controlled stream of air or oxygen is blown onto a sample being heated. This stream of air or oxygen enhances the combustion of the sample, allowing the observation of characteristic colors emitted by different elements when they are vaporized and excited by the heat. The blowpipe apparatus is often used to identify and differentiate between different elements and compounds based on their unique emission spectra and reactions.
