Description
36" Cold Finger Condenser Laboratory Glassware Chemistry Lab 36 Inch
This is a 36-inch cold finger condenser made of clear borosilicate glass. The piece consists of a long, straight cylindrical tube sealed at the bottom with a rounded tip and fitted at the top with a flared ground glass joint. Cold finger condensers are used in laboratory vacuum and distillation systems to condense vapors or trap volatile compounds by inserting a coolant (dry ice, liquid nitrogen, or cold water) inside the tube while it is submerged in the reaction vessel or cold trap assembly.

Applications
Cold finger condensers are standard glassware in chemistry, biochemistry, and vacuum-system laboratories. They are used to condense solvent vapors during distillation, to act as cold traps in vacuum lines protecting pumps from corrosive or condensable gases, and in reflux setups where controlled vapor condensation is needed. The coolant — typically dry ice/acetone, liquid nitrogen, or circulating cold water — is introduced into the inner finger tube, and the cold outer surface condenses vapors that contact it. At 36 inches, this is a longer-format piece suited for deep-immersion cold-trap applications or reaction vessels requiring extended reach. Cold finger condensers of this type are still in everyday use in academic and industrial research labs worldwide.
This 36" Cold Finger Condenser laboratory glassware has been inspected and is in good used condition. It was pulled from a working lab environment where it was previously in service. The glass tube is clear with no visible cracks or chips; minor debris is visible inside the top fitting area as shown in the photos, which is typical of used lab glassware and can be cleaned. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
