Drying Tubes

Drying tubes are simple glass tubes used in laboratory setups to prevent moisture from entering reaction systems. Filled with desiccants like calcium chloride or silica gel, they are typically attached to the top of condensers or flasks during reactions sensitive to atmospheric humidity. They ensure anhydrous conditions, especially in organic synthesis and moisture-sensitive experiments.

Specifications

• Material: Constructed from borosilicate glass for chemical durability and heat resistance.
• Design: Straight or U-shaped tube with a ground glass joint or rubber fitting for easy attachment.
• Usage: Filled with drying agents such as CaCl₂ or silica gel to absorb moisture from air.
• Application: Maintains dry conditions in reactions involving moisture-sensitive reagents.
