A typical Schlenk line setup consists of several key components:
- Double Manifold: One side for inert gas and the other for vacuum. - Stopcocks: Provide control over the flow of gas and vacuum to each individual port. - Cold Trap: Usually filled with liquid nitrogen to condense and trap volatile substances from the vacuum line. - Gas Inlet and Outlet: For connecting to an inert gas source and a vacuum pump, respectively. - Schlenk Flasks and Cannulas: Specialized glassware designed for use with the Schlenk line.
