Schlenk Line

Dual Manifold Vacuum/Argon Line

Overview

Schlenk Line

The Schlenk line is used for the removal of oxygen, moisture, and traces of solvents from reaction vessels and conducting experimental operations and techniques under an inert environment.

Capabilities

  • One manifold is connected to a source of purified inert gas, while the other is connected to a high vacuum pump
  • The inert gas line is vented through an oil bubbler, while solvent vapors and gaseous products are prevented from contaminating the pump through a cold trap
  • Special stopcocks allow for vacuum or inert gas to be selected without the need for placing the sample on a separate line
  • Several ports/lines for several operations to be run at the same time
