Reflux Cap pack of 1000 | Catalog Number SC506 |
For those procedures that call for reflux, a reflux cap is used instead of the traditional ribbed watch glass. The reflux cap fits over the top of the SC475 sample cup and has a 1,27cm (0.5 inch) hole in the center. Reagents added during the digestion procedure are introduced through the hole in the center of the cap. Tests have shown that a 1,27cm hole is the appropriate size to allow evaporation similar to that of a ribbed watch glass. |
