Frequently Asked Questions

1. What specific connection sizes does this adapter provide?
This adapter features a 50 mm top flange designed to fit the Huber cold trap assembly and a GL14 threaded connection for standard laboratory fittings.

2. Why is this adapter necessary for rotary evaporators?
It provides the specific physical interface required to connect the CT50 cold trap's cooling probe into the vapor path of a rotary evaporator, ensuring all solvent vapors are condensed effectively.

3. Is the glass resistant to aggressive solvents?
Yes, it is manufactured from borosilicate glass 3.3, which is the industry standard for high resistance to acids, alkalis, and organic solvents used in evaporation.

4. Can this adapter be used for applications other than rotary evaporation?
Yes, it can be utilized in any distillation or filtration setup that requires a 50 mm flange to GL14 transition for vacuum-assisted solvent recovery.

5. Does this include the GL14 screw cap or seals?
This product is the glass adapter itself. Standard GL14 caps and gaskets are typically used to complete the connection to your vacuum tubing.
