Setting up a Schlenk line involves several steps to ensure an inert atmosphere:
1. Assembly: Connect the manifold to the vacuum pump and gas source. 2. Leak Testing: Check for leaks using a suitable detector or by observing pressure changes. 3. Purging: Purge the system with inert gas to remove residual air. 4. Cooling the Trap: Fill the cold trap with liquid nitrogen to condense any volatile by-products.
