This listing offers a used laboratory apparatus — specifically a large-capacity borosilicate glass column or reaction vessel — from Schott, a globally recognised manufacturer of specialty glass and glass-ceramic products serving the chemical, pharmaceutical, life sciences, and research sectors. Schott's DURAN® brand is well established in laboratory glassware, and this piece is constructed from DURAN® borosilicate glass 3.3, a material prized for its high chemical resistance, thermal stability, and optical clarity.
The apparatus is a tall, large-bore glass column with a flanged dome opening, commonly used as a sight column, stirred reactor, or distillation vessel in chemical and pharmaceutical laboratory settings. It stands approximately 170 cm in total height, with the glass cylinder itself measuring around 120 cm. The inner diameter is approximately 38–40 cm, and the outer diameter including the flange reaches approximately 45 cm, making this a genuinely large-volume unit. Total weight is approximately 139 kg, consistent with a piece of this size and wall thickness in borosilicate glass.
The apparatus is fitted with several NS ground glass joints of approximately 60 mm diameter, allowing connections for sensors, instrumentation, or process engineering components. The transparent borosilicate walls permit direct visual monitoring of any reactive or flow process taking place inside the vessel. Potential applications include use as part of a distillation train, a stirred tank assembly, or a column reactor in a university, industrial, or pilot-scale laboratory environment.
The unit is sold as a multi-part assembly as depicted in the photographs. The main vessel is described as being in good condition. The lower bell section exhibits visible glass damage and is considered only partially functional, making it more suitable as a spare part or for non-critical applications. Prospective buyers should factor this into their assessment of the complete assembly.
The apparatus is located in Germany and is priced at $1,500.
