In the sealed glass reactor with set constant temperature,the reaction can be stirred under atmospheric pressure or negative pressure according to the usage requirements,and the reaction liquid can be refluxed and distilled.It is currently the ideal equipment for modern fine chemicals,biopharmaceuticals and new material synthesis.With the development of technology and the expanding demand of biopharmaceutical and other industries,the development of glass reaction vessel is accelerating,and the types and functions of the products are increasing,and the application is becoming more and more extensive.
In the laboratory,we often encounter some unexpected situations when using the glass reactor.These"small trouble"will bring a lot of inconvenience to the experiment.For example,the grinding mouth of the glass instrument can not be opened because of adhesion,how to do?
Resolving this issue requires careful handling to avoid damaging the equipment or causing a safety incident.
The following are some possible solutions:
Temperature difference method:Gently heat the grinding portion of the reactor to make it expand,and then quickly cool the periphery of the grinding port with cold water or coolant,using the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to reduce adhesion.
Lubrication method:Apply some lubricant,such as silicone oil or special separator,to the grinding portion to help reduce adhesion and make the grinding port easier to open.
Slight tapping:Under the premise of ensuring that the equipment will not be damaged,you can try to gently tap the glass around the grinding opening to loosen the adhesion part.
Mechanical assistance:Use a special tool,such as a spanner or cotter,to gently assist in opening the adhering orifice without causing damage.
Professional Service:If none of the above methods solves the problem,or if you are concerned that you may damage the unit if you do it yourself,it is recommended that you contact the manufacturer or a professional service technician to take care of the problem.
Safety is the primary consideration when dealing with this type of problem.Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment(PPE),such as safety glasses and gloves,and operate in a safe environment.If you are unsure of how to do this safely,it is best to seek professional help.
