XCD Vacuum Cold Trap Lab Glassware Heavy Wall Construction

Description

Product Overview

The XCD Vacuum Cold Trap is a precision laboratory tool engineered for demanding chemical procedures. Constructed from high-quality borosilicate glass, it features a robust heavy-wall design that resists thermal shock, making it suitable for repeated use in variable temperature environments. Key specifications include product dimensions of 9.84 x 3.15 x 1.57 inches and a weight of 7.05 ounces, with 24/40 standard joints for compatibility. The trap’s outer body has a 30mm diameter, extending 200mm below the joint, while the inner and side tubes each measure 10mm in diameter. This design ensures efficient operation in vacuum systems, particularly when connecting to 10mm hose vacuum gas manifolds. Manufactured by XCD and first available in September 2023, it supports industrial and scientific applications with reliable performance.

Usage

This vacuum cold trap is ideal for placement between experiments and vacuum sources, especially in Schlenk lines and vacuum gas manifold banks. It serves to protect vacuum pumps and other equipment by condensing vapors and preventing contamination. Target users include research chemists, laboratory technicians, and industrial scientists working in environments that require precise vacuum control, such as chemical synthesis, distillation, and solvent removal processes. The two-part design, with an 8mm hose connection on the center tube and an 8mm serrated hose connection on the side tube, allows for easy attachment and enhanced sealing, facilitating smooth integration into existing laboratory setups.
