Lab Glassware Identification
« on: February 27, 2014, 02:29:35 AM »
Hi everyone,

My brother recently purchased this piece off of eBay because he had never seen another like it. We're currently trying to figure out exactly what it is. I've attached a picture of said piece (pyrex.jpg)

Thank you, in advance.

Looks like some kind of addition or dropping funnel.

Although, is that a condenser above the stopcock? It's hard to tell from the photo. Maybe for condensing gasses?

It's a straight tube going through hollow space, like a condenser. But, instead of having in/out nipples, it has little glass nubbins with silver-colored (NiChrome?) wire wrapped around then and spiraled around the OUTside portion of the tube.

Upper one looks like a Soxhlet extractor.
