Description

Volumetric Glassware – Interchangeable Glassware Columns
Precision-Engineered Columns for Modular Chemistry and Chromatography Systems
Interchangeable glassware columns are essential components in modern laboratory setups that demand flexibility, accuracy, and durability. These columns are fabricated from high-quality borosilicate glass, renowned for its thermal resistance, chemical durability, and clarity. Their standardized ground joints (e.g., 24/29, 19/26, etc.) enable seamless integration into modular systems for use in chromatography, distillation, extraction, and reaction processes.
These columns allow for easy assembly, disassembly, and reconfiguration, making them indispensable in organic synthesis, analytical chemistry, pharmaceutical R&D, and industrial pilot plants. With precise calibration and smooth internal finishes, they support accurate flow, efficient separation, and leak-free operation under vacuum or pressure conditions.
Nanotec.lk offers a wide range of interchangeable columns with various dimensions, joint sizes, and configurations to suit diverse laboratory workflows.
