Constructing a Simple Schlenk Line

摘要

Schlenk lines are a core instrument used by chemists to manipulate materials in an air sensitive environment. They have the ability to allow them to process their work in vacuum, or with inert gas. This paper will detail how "blind seals and bracing" can be used to fabricate clean leak-free seals and will briefly discuss design aspects for chemists and the glassblowers.
