Rotary Evaporator Vial Adapter Chemglass CG-1318-10 24/40 Joint

Description

Product Overview

The Chemglass CG-1318-10 rotary evaporator vial adapter is engineered to bridge the gap between standard laboratory dram sample vials and the vapor tube or bump trap of a rotary evaporator. Constructed from high‑grade polypropylene, the adapter offers chemical resistance, durability, and a lightweight profile that simplifies handling. Its double‑threaded design matches the 24/40 joint standard, ensuring a tight, leak‑free seal that maintains system pressure and prevents solvent loss. The compact dimensions (3.3 x 1.9 x 1.4 inches) and low weight (0.02 ounces) make it easy to store and integrate into existing setups without requiring additional modifications. This adapter is compatible with a wide range of rotary evaporators, making it a versatile addition for any laboratory focused on efficient solvent recovery and sample processing.

Usage

Designed for routine use in chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmaceutical labs, the CG-1318-10 adapter enables users to connect standard dram vials directly to the evaporator’s vapor path. This eliminates the need for custom glassware or additional fittings, reducing setup time and potential sources of error. Whether you are performing small‑scale extractions, concentrating reaction mixtures, or purifying delicate compounds, the adapter provides a secure conduit for vapor flow while protecting the sample from exposure to the environment. Its polypropylene material tolerates a broad temperature range, allowing operation from ambient conditions up to the typical limits of rotary evaporation processes. The adapter is also suitable for use with bump traps, helping to capture any sudden pressure spikes and ensuring safe operation during high‑vacuum applications.

FAQ

Can this adapter be used with glass vials?

Yes, the CG‑1318‑10 is designed to accommodate standard laboratory dram glass vials. The polypropylene body provides a secure grip while the threaded connection matches the 24/40 joint commonly found on glass evaporator components, allowing seamless integration without the need for additional adapters.

Is the polypropylene material safe for all solvents?

Polypropylene offers excellent resistance to a wide range of organic solvents, including alcohols, ketones, and hydrocarbons. However, for highly aggressive acids or strong bases, it is advisable to verify compatibility with the specific solvent in use. In most routine evaporation applications, the material performs reliably without leaching or degradation.

How do I install the adapter on my rotary evaporator?

Installation is straightforward: first, ensure the evaporator is turned off and depressurized. Screw the adapter onto the vapor tube or bump trap using the double‑threaded 24/40 joint, turning clockwise until a snug fit is achieved. Then, insert your dram vial into the adapter’s opening, making sure it seats firmly. No additional tools or sealants are required.

What maintenance is required for the adapter?

The adapter requires minimal maintenance. After each use, detach it from the evaporator and rinse it with a compatible solvent to remove any residue. Allow it to air‑dry completely before storage. Periodic inspection of the threads for wear is recommended, but the robust polypropylene construction typically provides many years of reliable service.

Does Chemglass provide any warranty for this product?

Yes, Chemglass offers a limited one‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects. Should the adapter fail due to material or workmanship issues within this period, contact our technical support team for a replacement or refund. This warranty underscores our confidence in the product’s quality and durability.
