Rotary Evaporator Bump Trap 100ml – STONYLAB Borosilicate Anti‑Foam

Description

Product Overview

The STONYLAB 100 ml rotary evaporator bump trap is engineered for laboratory environments where reliability and durability are paramount. Constructed from G3.3 borosilicate glass, the trap withstands high temperatures and aggressive chemicals, providing a long‑lasting solution for evaporation processes. Its 24/40 upper outer joint and matching 24/40 standard taper lower joint ensure a secure, leak‑free connection with most rotary evaporators, eliminating the risk of vapor loss or contamination.

One of the standout features of this bump trap is the integrated anti‑foam design. During evaporation, foaming liquids can surge back into the condenser, disrupting the process and potentially damaging equipment. The anti‑foam geometry of the trap captures and dissipates foam, maintaining a smooth vapor flow and protecting the evaporator’s delicate components. This functional advantage translates into higher efficiency and reproducibility for critical experiments.

Beyond its functional attributes, the trap’s compact 100 ml capacity makes it an ideal accessory for a wide range of laboratory applications, from small‑scale organic synthesis to analytical sample preparation. The transparent glass construction allows users to visually monitor liquid levels, facilitating easy maintenance and quick detection of any issues. Additionally, the trap is lightweight, weighing only 3.53 ounces, which simplifies handling and installation.

STONYLAB, a recognized name in laboratory equipment, ensures that each bump trap meets stringent quality standards. The product undergoes rigorous testing for glass integrity, joint compatibility, and anti‑foam performance before it reaches the market. This commitment to quality is further reinforced by a one‑year coverage period, providing users with confidence and support throughout the product’s lifecycle.

Overall, the STONYLAB 100 ml rotary evaporator bump trap combines robust material selection, thoughtful engineering, and user‑centric design to deliver a reliable accessory that enhances the performance of rotary evaporators across diverse scientific disciplines.

Usage

This bump trap is suited for a variety of laboratory settings, including organic chemistry labs, pharmaceutical research facilities, and analytical chemistry suites. It excels in processes that involve solvent removal, distillation, and purification where foam formation is a common challenge. By integrating the trap into the evaporation line, scientists can achieve consistent solvent recovery while protecting sensitive equipment.

Installation is straightforward: connect the upper 24/40 outer joint to the condenser outlet and the lower 24/40 standard taper joint to the receiving flask. The universal joint sizes ensure compatibility with most rotary evaporator models, reducing the need for additional adapters. Once installed, the anti‑foam mechanism operates passively, requiring no additional adjustments or power sources.

In practice, the trap has proven effective for both batch and continuous evaporation workflows. Researchers handling high‑boiling point solvents, such as dimethylformamide or N‑methyl‑pyrrolidone, benefit from the trap’s ability to manage foam generated by these viscous liquids. Likewise, laboratories performing large‑scale extractions appreciate the trap’s capacity to handle increased vapor volumes without compromising performance.

Maintenance involves periodic inspection of the glass for cracks or residues, and cleaning with appropriate solvents when necessary. The transparent design aids in visual assessment, allowing users to quickly identify when the trap requires attention. The included one‑year coverage ensures that any manufacturing defects are addressed promptly, minimizing downtime.

FAQ

What types of solvents can I use with this bump trap?

The trap is compatible with a wide range of organic solvents, including low‑boiling solvents like ethanol and high‑boiling solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide. Its borosilicate construction resists chemical attack, making it suitable for most laboratory solvents.

How do I clean the bump trap after use?

After each use, disconnect the trap and rinse it with a suitable cleaning solvent, such as acetone or methanol, followed by distilled water. Allow the glass to dry completely before re‑installing. Regular cleaning helps maintain anti‑foam efficiency.

Can the bump trap be used with rotary evaporators from different manufacturers?

Yes. The 24/40 joint sizes are a standard in the industry, allowing the trap to connect to evaporators from most major manufacturers without the need for additional adapters.

What does the one‑year coverage include?

The coverage protects against manufacturing defects. If the trap arrives damaged or develops a defect within the first year, STONYLAB will provide a replacement or repair at no additional cost, ensuring uninterrupted research.

Is the anti‑foam feature active or does it require adjustment?

The anti‑foam mechanism is passive and works automatically once the trap is installed. No adjustments or power sources are required; the design simply redirects foam away from the condenser, preserving smooth operation.
