[edit] SVG

I have re-drawn the png as an svg. I hope that what I interpreted as hose tails are, in fact, hose tails. --Slashme 13:19, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Types of Schlenk tubes

Teflon tap used to seal NMR tubes for air-sensitive samples - has a central bore starting at the top of the tap, which splits into a T-junction at the bottom. One of the openings of the inverted "T" can be seen in this picture.

Colloquially NMR tubes sealed with a Teflon tap as shown left are called “Schlenk NMR tube”. Can anyone confirm if these are true Schlenk tubes? Perhaps it doesn’t matter - if they are known as such, they should be added?

Also it would be nice to have an image of the various types flasks that are described in the section about these types of flask. Better would be photos (anyone got a few of these types of Schlenk flask knocking about in the lab?) -- Quantockgoblin (talk) 17:27, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree that there should be a section about Schlenk NMR tube also known as J-young tubes, named after the the teflon cap with the t-junction whose major brand name is J.young valve. J-young has been adopted similar to roller blades and kleenex and is used in academic publications.--OMCV (talk) 20:01, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
