Air-free techniques

Air sensitivity

Air sensitivity is a term used, particularly in chemistry, to denote the reactivity of chemical compounds with some constituent of air. Schlenk flask and air sensitivity are air-free techniques.

See Schlenk flask and Air sensitivity

Argon

Argon is a chemical element; it has symbol Ar and atomic number 18.

See Schlenk flask and Argon

Benzophenone

Benzophenone is a naturally occurring organic compound with the formula (C6H5)2CO, generally abbreviated Ph2CO.

See Schlenk flask and Benzophenone

Borosilicate glass

Borosilicate glass is a type of glass with silica and boron trioxide as the main glass-forming constituents.

See Schlenk flask and Borosilicate glass

Calorimeter

A calorimeter is a device used for calorimetry, or the process of measuring the heat of chemical reactions or physical changes as well as heat capacity.

See Schlenk flask and Calorimeter

Cannula transfer or cannulation is a set of air-free techniques used with a Schlenk line, in transferring liquid or solution samples between reaction vessels via cannulae, avoiding atmospheric contamination. Schlenk flask and cannula transfer are air-free techniques.

See Schlenk flask and Cannula transfer

Chemical reactor

A chemical reactor is an enclosed volume in which a chemical reaction takes place.

See Schlenk flask and Chemical reactor

Glassblowing

Glassblowing is a glassforming technique that involves inflating molten glass into a bubble (or parison) with the aid of a blowpipe (or blow tube).

See Schlenk flask and Glassblowing

Glovebox

A glovebox (or glove box) is a sealed container that is designed to allow one to manipulate objects where a separate atmosphere is desired. Schlenk flask and glovebox are air-free techniques.

See Schlenk flask and Glovebox

Ground glass joint

Ground glass joints are used in laboratories to quickly and easily fit leak-tight apparatus together from interchangeable commonly available parts. Schlenk flask and Ground glass joint are laboratory glassware.

See Schlenk flask and Ground glass joint

Inert gas

An inert gas is a gas that does not readily undergo chemical reactions with other chemical substances and therefore does not readily form chemical compounds.

See Schlenk flask and Inert gas

Laboratory glassware

Laboratory glassware refers to a variety of equipment used in scientific work, and traditionally made of glass.

See Schlenk flask and Laboratory glassware

Nitrogen

Nitrogen is a chemical element; it has symbol N and atomic number 7.

See Schlenk flask and Nitrogen

Plug valve

Plug valves are valves with cylindrical or conically tapered "plugs" which can be rotated inside the valve body to control flow through the valve.

See Schlenk flask and Plug valve

Polytetrafluoroethylene

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, and has numerous applications because it is chemically inert.

See Schlenk flask and Polytetrafluoroethylene

Pyrex

Pyrex (trademarked as PYREX and pyrex) is a brand introduced by Corning Inc. in 1915 for a line of clear, low-thermal-expansion borosilicate glass used for laboratory glassware and kitchenware.

See Schlenk flask and Pyrex

Round-bottom flask

Round-bottom flasks (also called round-bottomed flasks or RB flasks) are types of flasks having spherical bottoms used as laboratory glassware, mostly for chemical or biochemical work. Schlenk flask and round-bottom flask are laboratory glassware.

See Schlenk flask and Round-bottom flask

Schlenk line

The Schlenk line (also vacuum gas manifold) is a commonly used chemistry apparatus developed by Wilhelm Schlenk. Schlenk flask and Schlenk line are air-free techniques and laboratory glassware.
