Some of our isotopic gases are packed in American standard cylinders which are different from the European Standard.However, their outlet usually allows fitting. These cylinders can be used only under certain conditions which will be conveyed by the sales department.
Breakseal glass flasks
Breakseal glass (Pyrex or Silicon) flasks are used for adding a gas directly to a reaction by breaking the seal while the breakseal is connected to the reaction by tubing (pig tail tube ∅ 12). They are used for many gases in small quantities.
