Description
Safety tube NS 19/26 is a laboratory glassware component functioning as a fermentation attachment with a precision standard ground joint of NS 19/26. This safety tube enables controlled gas exchange and pressure equalisation in closed reaction or culture systems while minimising contamination risk. It integrates directly into conical ground-joint assemblies used throughout organic synthesis, distillation and microbiological work. The compact design weighs only 0,062 kg net, making it easy to handle yet robust enough for repeated laboratory use. Produced by manufacturer Witeg, the tube conforms to established Normschliff dimensions and is intended for seamless pairing with matching flasks, condensers and adapters. In fermentation setups the attachment acts as a classic Gäraufsatz, allowing visual monitoring of gas evolution when partially filled with liquid. Single-piece supply supports both routine teaching laboratories and research environments that require reliable, interchangeable glass connections. Originating from Germany (Baden-Württemberg), the component reflects consistent European manufacturing quality for standard joint glassware. Its straightforward geometry ensures quick assembly and disassembly without specialised tools, facilitating efficient workflow in multi-step experimental protocols.

Questions about Safety tube (Thistle funnels), ST 19/26
What is this article?
Safety tube (Thistle funnels), ST 19/26 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Witeg for laboratory use. It sits in Distillation heads, adapters & columns, inside Distillation & extraction glassware, in Labware.
A still head, an adapter or a column is the glass between the boiling flask and the condenser. A Vigreux or packed column gives the vapour a surface so a closer-boiling mixture can separate. The joint sizes at both ends have to match the flask and the condenser.
Distillation separates liquids by boiling point. A condenser turns the vapour back into liquid: Liebig, coil and cold-finger shapes differ in how much cooling surface they offer. A still head and a column sit between the flask and the condenser. A Soxhlet extractor washes a solid again and again with the same solvent. Ground joints have a standard size, and the joint, not the flask, is what has to match. The pieces are indexed under ISO laboratory glassware.
Which category should I open next?
