Description
Product Overview
The Laboy 25mL Schlenk Flask is a precision‑engineered laboratory vessel designed for the most demanding air‑free and inert‑gas chemistry applications. Constructed from high‑temperature borosilicate glass, the flask provides exceptional chemical resistance, thermal stability, and optical clarity, allowing researchers to monitor reactions visually without compromising safety. Its distinctive pear‑shaped profile maximizes mixing efficiency while minimizing dead volume, a critical factor when working with limited reagent quantities. The flask incorporates a 14/20 ground‑glass joint, a standard size that seamlessly connects to condensers, adapters, rotary evaporators, and vacuum lines, ensuring a leak‑free seal across a wide range of experimental setups. A finely machined glass stopcock is integrated into the neck, offering precise control over vacuum and gas flow, making it ideal for Schlenk line techniques, Grignard reactions, and organometallic syntheses. The 25 mL capacity strikes a balance between scalability and material economy, enabling microscale screening, teaching demonstrations, and pilot‑scale synthesis without excessive waste. Each unit is individually handcrafted, inspected for glass integrity, and packaged in foam‑lined containers to protect against impact during shipping.

Usage
This flask excels in environments where inert atmosphere control is paramount. In academic teaching labs, it serves as a reliable tool for introducing students to Schlenk line techniques, allowing them to practice vacuum transfers, gas purging, and moisture‑sensitive reactions safely. In industrial research settings, the flask supports high‑precision organometallic experiments, such as the preparation of Grignard reagents, lithium organics, and transition‑metal complexes, where even trace amounts of oxygen or water can jeopardize product yield. The compact 14/20 joint enables quick attachment to standard condensers for reflux operations, while the glass stopcock facilitates fine‑tuned vacuum adjustments during distillations or solvent removal. Its autoclavable nature permits routine sterilization, making it suitable for pharmaceutical development where sterility and reproducibility are essential. The flask’s thermal conductivity ensures uniform temperature distribution during heating or cooling, reducing hot spots that could lead to side reactions. Whether employed in a glove box, a fume hood, or a standard bench‑top setup, the Laboy Schlenk Flask delivers consistent performance across a spectrum of chemical disciplines.

FAQ
What types of reactions are best suited for this 25 mL Schlenk flask?
The flask is ideal for air‑sensitive reactions such as Grignard reagent preparation, organolithium chemistry, transition‑metal catalysis, and moisture‑sensitive condensations. Its small volume makes it perfect for screening multiple conditions while conserving valuable reagents.
Can the flask be used with a standard rotary evaporator?
Yes. The 14/20 joint matches the common size of rotary evaporator condensers, allowing direct attachment for solvent removal under reduced pressure. The glass stopcock provides additional control for gradual pressure changes.
Is the flask compatible with high‑temperature reflux operations?
Absolutely. Borosilicate glass tolerates temperatures up to 350 °C, making the flask suitable for reflux, distillation, and heating cycles required in many organic syntheses.
How should the flask be cleaned after use?
Rinse the flask with appropriate solvents to remove residues, then place it in an autoclave for sterilization if needed. For stubborn deposits, a gentle soak in a dilute acid solution followed by thorough rinsing is recommended.
What is the warranty or return policy for this product?
Laboy offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If the flask arrives damaged despite our foam‑lined packaging, contact our support team for a replacement or refund within 30 days of receipt.
