4 neck Round Bottom Flask

Product Description

A 4-neck round bottom flask is a type of laboratory glassware commonly used in chemistry and biology labs for reactions, distillation, and other processes. Here's a breakdown of its features:

Features:

1. Round Bottom:

   • Enhances heat distribution during heating.
   • Typically used with heating mantles or oil baths for uniform heating.

2. Four Necks:

   • Provides flexibility for multiple purposes simultaneously, such as:
     • Adding reagents through one neck.
     • Inserting a thermometer or other probes into another.
     • Fitting a reflux condenser.
     • Allowing for gas inlets/outlets.
   • Necks usually have standard taper joints to securely attach accessories.

3. Material:

   • Usually made of borosilicate glass for chemical and thermal resistance.

4. Applications:

   • Ideal for reactions requiring multiple inputs or monitoring systems.
   • Common in organic synthesis, distillation setups, and vacuum reactions.
