Ground Glass Joint
Ground glass joints are used in laboratories to quickly and easily fit leak-tight apparatus together from interchangeable commonly available parts. For example, a round bottom flask, Liebig condenser, and oil bubbler with ground glass joints may be rapidly fitted together to reflux a reaction mixture. This is a large improvement compared with older methods of custom-made glassware, which was time-consuming and expensive, or the use of less chemical resistant and heat resistant Cork (material), corks or rubber bungs and glass tubes as joints, which took time to prepare as well. One of the glassware items to be joined would have an ''inner'' (or male) ''joint'' with the ground glass surface facing outward and the other would have an ''outer'' (or female) ''joint'' of a correspondingly fitting taper with the ground glass surface facing inward. To connect the hollow inner spaces of the glassware components, ground glass joints are hollow on the inside and open at the ends, except fo ...

Round Bottom Flask
Round-bottom flasks (also called round-bottomed flasks or RB flasks) are types of Laboratory flask, flasks having spherical bottoms used as laboratory glassware, mostly for chemistry, chemical or biochemistry, biochemical work. They are typically made of glass for chemical Chemically inert, inertness; and in modern days, they are usually made of heat-resistant borosilicate glass. There is at least one tubular section known as the ''neck'' with an opening at the tip. Two- or three-necked flasks are common as well. Round bottom flasks come in many sizes, from 5 mL to 20 L, with the sizes usually inscribed on the glass. In pilot plants even larger flasks are encountered. The ends of the necks are usually conical ground glass joints. These are standardized, and can accept any similarly-sized tapered (male) fittings. Ground glass joint, 24/40 is common for 250 mL or larger flasks, while smaller sizes such as 14/20 or 19/22 are used for smaller flasks. Because of the ...

Gasket
Some seals and gaskets A gasket is a mechanical seal which fills the space between two or more mating surfaces, generally to prevent leakage from or into the joined objects while under compression. It is a deformable material that is used to create a static seal and maintain that seal under various operating conditions in a mechanical assembly. Gaskets allow for "less-than-perfect" mating surfaces on machine parts where they can fill irregularities. Gaskets are commonly produced by cutting from sheet materials. Given the potential cost and safety implications of faulty or leaking gaskets, it is critical that the correct gasket material is selected to fit the needs of the application. Gaskets for specific applications, such as high pressure steam systems, may contain asbestos. However, due to health hazards associated with asbestos exposure, non-asbestos gasket materials are used when practical. It is usually desirable that the gasket be made from a material that is to some de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Diazomethane
Diazomethane is an organic chemical compound with the formula CH2N2, discovered by German chemist Hans von Pechmann in 1894. It is the simplest diazo compound. In the pure form at room temperature, it is an extremely sensitive explosive yellow gas; thus, it is almost universally used as a solution in diethyl ether. The compound is a popular methylating agent in the laboratory, but it is too hazardous to be employed on an industrial scale without special precautions. Use of diazomethane has been significantly reduced by the introduction of the safer and equivalent reagent trimethylsilyldiazomethane. Use For safety and convenience diazomethane is always prepared as needed as a solution in diethyl ether, ether and used as such. It converts carboxylic acids to methyl esters and phenols into their methyl ethers. The reaction is thought to proceed via proton transfer from carboxylic acid to diazomethane to give a methyldiazonium cation, which reacts with the carboxylate ion to give th ...

Syringe
A syringe is a simple reciprocating pump consisting of a plunger (though in modern syringes, it is actually a piston) that fits tightly within a cylindrical tube called a barrel. The plunger can be linearly pulled and pushed along the inside of the tube, allowing the syringe to take in and expel liquid or gas through a discharge orifice at the front (open) end of the tube. The open end of the syringe may be fitted with a hypodermic needle, a nozzle or tubing to direct the flow into and out of the barrel. Syringes are frequently used in clinical medicine to administer injections, infuse intravenous therapy into the bloodstream, apply compounds such as glue or lubricant, and draw/measure liquids. There are also prefilled syringes (disposable syringes marketed with liquid inside). The word "syringe" is derived from the Greek σῦριγξ ('' syrinx'', meaning "Pan flute", "tube"). Medical syringes Medical syringes include disposable and safety syringes, injectio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Luer Taper
The Luer taper is a standardized system of small-scale fluid fittings used for making leak-free connections between a male-taper fitting and its mating female part on medical and laboratory instruments, including hypodermic syringe tips and needles or stopcocks and needles. Currently ISO 80369 governs the Luer standards and testing methods. History Named after the Lüer family who founded the medical instrument maker Maison Lüer in Paris, the two-piece syringe was invented by either the employed instrument maker Karl Schneider or Jeanne Lüer together with the glass blower Fournier. It was patented by Jeanne's husband Hermann Wülfing Lüer in 1894, with international patents taken out in the following years. It originated as a 6% taper fitting for glass bottle stoppers (so one side is 1.72 degrees from the centerline). Key features of Luer taper connectors are defined in the ISO 80369-7 standards. It is also defined in the DIN and EN standard 1707:1996 and 20594-1:1993. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Quickfit Apparatus
Quickfit is a brand of laboratory glassware, produced under the Pyrex trademark and distributed through various fronts in differing countries; e.g. Corning in North America. A large percentage of the glassware makes use of ground glass joints. The Quickfit brand is blown in Stone, Staffordshire, in the United Kingdom and marketed through DWK in the United Kingdom. 'Quickfit' has become a genericized trademark for all ground glass. Whilst the ownership and name of Quickfit has changed numerous times, all genuine Quickfit glass is stamped with a Q, displaying the brand name, the word Pyrex Pyrex (trademarked as ''PYREX'' and ''pyrex'') is a brand introduced by Corning Inc. in 1915, initially for a line of clear, low-thermal-expansion borosilicate glass used for laboratory glassware and kitchenware.

Laboratory Glassware
Laboratory glassware is a variety of equipment used in science, scientific work, traditionally made of glass. Glass may be blown, bent, cut, molded, or formed into many sizes and shapes. It is commonly used in chemistry, biology, and analytical laboratory, laboratories. Many laboratories have training programs to demonstrate how glassware is used and to alert first–time users to the Laboratory safety#Safety hazards, safety hazards involved with using glassware. History Ancient era The history of glassware dates back to the Phoenicians who fused obsidian together in campfires, making the first glassware. Glassware evolved as other ancient civilizations including the Syrians, Egyptians, and Romans refined the art of glassmaking. Mary the Jewess, an alchemist in Alexandria during the 1st century AD, is credited for the creation of some of the first glassware for chemical such as the ''kerotakis'' which was used for the collection of fumes from a heated material.
