Handling & Precautions

  • Always secure the extractor with proper clamps and stands during use.
  • Heat gradually to avoid stress from rapid temperature changes.
  • Ensure joints are properly greased or clipped to maintain a tight seal.
  • Rinse thoroughly after each use; avoid abrasive cleaning materials.
  • Autoclavable under standard conditions.
  • Do not expose the glass to sudden cold water when hot.
  • Avoid using corrosive chemicals known to attack borosilicate glass (e.g., HF).
