About This Product
Long condensers are awkward to hold level; three sleeved fingers spread the pressure and keep the condenser lined up between flask and receiver during distillation or extraction. The rod turns in a boss head, so the clamp can be set at any angle the set-up needs. Schools, colleges and institutes in Iceland, Sierra Leone, Bahamas, United Kingdom, Portugal and Uruguay can order the Three Finger Condenser Clamp from Educational Instrument.
