[table id=597 /]

The MEDILAB Adapter, Air Leak Tube is a precision-engineered glass adapter designed to introduce controlled air or gas flow into jointed laboratory apparatus. It enables safe venting, aeration, or oxidation during chemical reactions without compromising the integrity of the closed system. Essential for research, analytical, and industrial laboratory setups, this adapter ensures stable and reproducible process conditions where regulated air entry is required.

Key Features

• Designed for the precise and controlled introduction of air or gas into reaction systems.
• Standard ground-joint connection for secure, leak-proof integration with glassware assemblies.
• Long, narrow air-inlet tube ensures accurate direction and dispersion of airflow.
• Manufactured from premium Borosilicate Glass 3.3 for maximum chemical and thermal resistance.
• Smooth, high-clarity surface allows easy visual inspection of air pathways.
• Compatible with common jointed glassware used globally across laboratories.
• Durable construction suitable for continuous use in demanding chemical environments.

Material Specifications

• Material: Borosilicate Glass 3.3
• Thermal Properties: Low thermal expansion coefficient (3.3 × 10⁻⁶ /°C). Excellent thermal shock resistance. Withstands heating and cooling cycles typically required in chemical operations
• Chemical Resistance: High resistance to acids, alkalis, solvents, and corrosive vapours. Non-reactive glass ensures contamination-free air introduction
• Mechanical Properties: Rigid, durable, scratch-resistant surface. High transparency for clear visibility
• Standards Compliance:  Joint dimensions comply with international  interchangeability standards

 Technical Specifications

• Design: Straight, narrow air-inlet tube with a standard ground socket
• Joint Sizes Available: As per the standard size table
• Tube Length: Supplied in standard lengths; customisation available on request
• Tolerance / Fit: Precisely ground joints for an airtight connection. Not a calibrated measuring component
• Accessories Included: Adapter only (no tubing or clamps included)

 Handling & Precautions

• Always insert and remove the adapter gently to avoid stressing the ground joint.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent thermal shock.
• Clean using mild lab detergents; avoid abrasive materials that may scratch the glass.
• Suitable for autoclaving; ensure gradual heating and cooling.
• Use only with compatible joints to maintain airtight performance.
• Inspect before each use—do not use if cracks or chips are present.

 Applications

Commonly used in:

• Research laboratories
• Pharmaceutical QC/QA labs
• Chemical and petrochemical industries
• Biotechnology and academic research facilities
• Ideal for processes requiring controlled air introduction, such as oxidation reactions, gas-inlet operations, aeration of solutions, and pressure equalisation.
• Enhances stability and reproducibility in reactions conducted within closed or semi-closed glass systems.
