FAQ

What is the maximum temperature this vacuum trap can handle?

The borosilicate glass construction allows it to withstand temperatures up to 500°C under normal conditions, though prolonged exposure should be avoided to maintain integrity.

How do I clean the vacuum trap after use?

Rinse with distilled water or mild solvents, and avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratches. For stubborn residues, a soft brush and isopropyl alcohol can be used safely.

Is this product suitable for high-vacuum applications?

Yes, it is designed to perform reliably in high-vacuum environments, such as those in research labs or industrial processes, without leaking or degrading.

Can the vacuum trap be autoclaved for sterilization?

While it resists thermal shock, autoclaving is not recommended due to potential stress from rapid temperature changes; instead, use chemical sterilization methods.

What makes borosilicate glass better than standard glass?

Borosilicate glass has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, making it less prone to cracking under heat variations and more resistant to chemical corrosion compared to regular glass.
