Asynt has introduced a new range of Gas Bubblers that enable chemists to visibly confirm that their reaction system is being flushed with an inert gas such as nitrogen.
A gas bubbler is an affordable piece of laboratory glassware which consists of a glass bulb filled with a small amount of fluid such as mineral or silicone oil. For use with reactions the inlet to the bulb is connected to a ground glass joint, while the outlet is vented to the air. Gas bubblers are used to exclude air from a reaction or can help with purging systems such as a Schlenk line. Used in the former case, the gas bubbler is often fitted on the condenser of the reaction set-up. In the latter case, the gas bubbler is typically installed at the end of the inert gas manifold on a Schlenk line to prevent contamination by atmospheric oxygen and ...
