Description
Product Overview
The Deschem 250ml Glass Gas Drying Tower is engineered as a high‑performance laboratory drier, combining the chemical resistance of borosilicate glass with a thoughtfully compact vertical architecture. The tower holds up to 250 ml of liquid, making it ideal for small‑scale solvent drying, reagent preparation, and sample purification. Its clear glass construction allows users to monitor liquid levels at a glance, while the integrated gas inlet and outlet ports facilitate efficient inert gas flow, accelerating moisture removal without the need for external heating. The tower’s base is fitted with a sturdy, chemically‑inert silicone seal that prevents leaks and ensures a tight connection to standard laboratory gas lines. All components are designed to meet rigorous laboratory standards, offering thermal shock resistance up to 300 °C and compatibility with a wide range of organic solvents, acids, and bases. The product weight of 14.11 ounces makes it easy to handle, yet the robust borosilicate material provides long‑term durability for daily use in busy research environments.
Usage
This drying tower excels in environments where precise moisture control is critical. It is commonly employed in analytical chemistry labs for preparing anhydrous solvents, in organic synthesis suites for drying reaction mixtures, and in material science facilities where moisture‑sensitive polymers are processed. The tower’s vertical orientation saves bench space, allowing it to be placed alongside other standard glassware such as condensers, reflux apparatus, and rotary evaporators. Users can connect a low‑pressure nitrogen or argon source to the inlet, creating a gentle gas sweep that displaces water vapor from the liquid surface. Because the tower is made from borosilicate glass, it tolerates rapid temperature changes, enabling occasional gentle heating with a laboratory hot plate to further accelerate drying without risking breakage. The clear body also simplifies cleaning; residues can be visualized and removed with standard laboratory detergents, and the tower can be autoclaved for sterilization when required. Its versatility makes it suitable for academic research, pharmaceutical development, and quality‑control laboratories that demand reliable, repeatable drying performance.

FAQ
What types of gases can be used with this drying tower?
The tower is compatible with standard laboratory inert gases such as nitrogen, argon, and helium. The silicone‑sealed ports are rated for low‑pressure gas flow, making it easy to connect to most gas regulators and flow meters used in research labs.
Can the tower be heated to speed up drying?
Yes. Because the tower is made from borosilicate glass, it tolerates gentle heating. Placing the tower on a laboratory hot plate at temperatures up to 80 °C can accelerate solvent drying, but users should avoid rapid temperature spikes that could cause thermal stress.
Is the tower compatible with all solvents?
The borosilicate material is resistant to a wide range of organic solvents, including alcohols, ethers, and chlorinated compounds. It is also compatible with most acids and bases commonly used in laboratory settings. However, extremely aggressive reagents such as hydrofluoric acid should be avoided.
How do I clean and maintain the drying tower?
After each use, rinse the tower with a suitable laboratory solvent to remove residues, then wash with a mild detergent solution. The clear glass allows you to see any remaining deposits. For thorough sterilization, the tower can be autoclaved at 121 °C for 15 minutes. Regular inspection of the silicone seal and gas ports will help maintain a leak‑free system.
What warranty does Deschem provide?
Deschem offers a two‑year limited warranty covering material defects and workmanship. The warranty includes replacement of faulty components and access to technical support for troubleshooting. An optional extended service plan is also available for customers who require additional coverage.
