Microscale – Distillations

What are microscale distillations? The distillation of a volatile liquid at microscale can be performed with setups similar to those described, consisting of a vessel, flask or vial, a distillation head, a thermometer adapter to control the temperature of the vapors, a condenser and a collector to collect the distillate. The components of these assemblies … Read more

Microscale – Reagents addition

What is microscale reagents addition? The addition of reagents to a reaction can be carried out, in the simplest case, directly with the aid of a microspatula in the case of solids or with an automatic pipette, or a Pasteur pipette for liquids or solutions. If the reaction is to remain in a closed vessel, … Read more

Microscale – Drying liquids and solids

To dry liquids at microscale, the desiccant can be added to a container with the solution to be dried, and then separated by decanting or filtration, or a Pasteur pipette can be filled with the desiccant, and the solution can be passed through the pipette and collected in a vial. The water will be retained … Read more
