The MEDILAB Adapter for Pocket Thermometer is a precision-designed connector that allows standard pocket thermometers to be securely incorporated into jointed laboratory glassware assemblies. It ensures accurate temperature monitoring without exposure to atmospheric contaminants or direct contact with reaction media. Ideal for research, analytical, and industrial laboratories, this adapter improves measurement reliability while maintaining a sealed and safe experimental environment.
Key Features
- Precision-ground joint ensures a tight, leak-free fit with standard jointed glassware systems.
- Straight, clear stem (approx. 45 mm) designed to hold and stabilise pocket thermometers.
- Enhances temperature measurement accuracy by maintaining proper alignment and immersion depth.
- Manufactured from premium Borosilicate Glass 3.3 for superior thermal and chemical durability.
- Smooth, transparent surface for easy visibility of the inserted thermometer.
- Resistant to thermal shock, acids, alkalis, and common laboratory reagents.
- Lightweight, robust, and suitable for repeated laboratory use.
- Designed for compatibility with a wide range of thermometer sizes and laboratory setups.
Material Specifications
- Material: High-quality Borosilicate Glass 3.3
- Thermal Properties: Low thermal expansion coefficient (3.3 × 10⁻⁶ /°C) Excellent resistance to high temperatures and thermal shock
- Chemical Resistance: Inert to most chemicals, solvents, and corrosive agents. Non-porous and non-reactive, ensuring contamination-free measurements
- Mechanical Properties: Durable, hard surface with high clarity. Suitable for repeated sterilisation cycles
- Standards Compliance: Joints conform to international standards for interchangeability
Technical Specifications
- Stem Length: approx. 45 mm
- Design: Straight stem with standard ground joint
- Joint Sizes: Available in common socket sizes 14/23 to 24/29 as per the standard size table
- Accuracy/Tolerance: Precision-fit joints ensure stable thermometer placement. Not a calibrated measuring device (non-volumetric accessory)
- Accessories Included: Adapter only (thermometer not included)
Handling & Precautions
- Insert and remove the thermometer gently to avoid stress on the glass stem.
- Ensure the joint is clean and lightly greased (if required) for an airtight connection.
- Compatible with autoclaving; avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent thermal shock.
- Clean using mild laboratory detergents; avoid abrasive scrubbing tools.
- Do not use if cracks, chips, or scratches are visible.
- Store upright or in padded glassware racks to extend product life.
Applications
Widely used in:
- Research laboratories
- Universities and academic teaching facilities
- Pharmaceutical QC/QA labs
- Chemical and petrochemical industries
- Biotechnology and life-science research units
- Ideal for monitoring temperature in distillation setups, reaction vessels, digestion units, and general chemical processes.
- Ensures accurate, contamination-free thermometer positioning within closed or semi-closed apparatus, improving experiment precision and repeatability.
