All Units
• Replace the cover and fit the appropriate location bosses.
• The location boss for 1 litre vessels is supplied with the flask.
• 500 ml, 250 ml and 125ml flasks use the same location boss, as
supplied with the platform.
Siliconising Glassware
• All glassware is siliconised before being dispatched. It will
eventually require resiliconising in order to maintain its water
repellant qualities.
• CAUTION: THE WORKROOM MUST BE WELL VENTILATED.
• Clean the glassware thoroughly and ensure it is free from grease.
• Wash out and immerse the glassware in a water repelling
treatment such as Merck Ltd, “Repelcote VS”.
• Make sure the glassware is fully wetted by the solution.
• Allow the solvent to evaporate. There will normally be sufficient
absorbed by water on the glassware to hydrolyse “Repelcote VS”
to a highly water repellent silicone film.
