The MEDILAB Multiple Adapter, Parallel Neck, is a precision-engineered laboratory connector designed to split or combine flow paths in experimental setups requiring two parallel upper sockets and a single cone connection at the base. This adapter enables simultaneous attachment of two apparatus components to one central system, ensuring efficient workflow, versatility, and compatibility in chemical, analytical, and research operations. Its robust construction and adherence to international standards make it an essential component in modern laboratories and industrial processes.

Key Features

• Two Parallel Socket Necks: Allows attachment of dual apparatus components while maintaining an organised and streamlined setup.
• Single Cone Joint at Bottom: Ensures a secure and leak-proof connection to primary glassware.
• DIN 12594 Compliance: Manufactured to meet international dimensional and performance standards.
• Precision-Ground Joints: Guarantees airtight seals, accurate fit, and repeatable use in sensitive applications.
• Superior Durability: Resistant to thermal shock and chemical corrosion, enabling long service life.
• Smooth Internal Pathways: Supports efficient flow, minimises turbulence, and enhances process reliability.
• Custom Joint Combinations: Additional joint sizes are available on request for OEM or specialised setups.

Material Specifications

Material: High-quality Borosilicate Glass 3.3

• Thermal Properties: Low coefficient of expansion (~3.3 × 10⁻⁶/K), enabling safe use in heating, cooling, and autoclaving cycles.
• Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to acids, solvents, and laboratory reagents for long-term stability.
• Mechanical Strength: Designed to withstand regular handling, assembly, and disassembly in professional lab environments.
• Standards Compliance: Produced in accordance with relevant ISO, DIN, and ASTM laboratory glassware specifications.

Handling & Precautions

• Handle with care to avoid scratching or chipping of precision-ground joints.
• If used for vacuum applications, apply appropriate joint grease to ensure airtight sealing.
• Clean with mild detergents; avoid abrasive pads or tools that may damage surface integrity.
• Autoclavable; avoid direct flame and rapid temperature changes to prevent thermal shock.
• Do not force stuck joints—use gentle twisting or warm water to release safely.
• Store individually or in padded racks to extend product life and prevent impact damage.

Applications

• Chemical, Analytical & Organic Synthesis Labs: Allows branching or simultaneous operations from a single joint connection.
• Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Facilities: Useful in reaction setups, solvent handling, distillation accessories, and multiple inlet/outlet configurations.
