Product Code : EL-GA-10035
Lab Glassware Manufacturer manufactures and exports the Adapter Splash Head from its production base in Ambala, Haryana, in continuous operation since 1982, supplying school and college science laboratories, university research departments, and export buyers that have recently included institutions in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda — part of a wider base of enquiries from across East Africa.
Quick answer: This is a borosilicate glass splash head adapter used with rotary evaporators, fitted between the evaporation flask and condenser to hold back liquid that would otherwise be drawn over during foaming or bumping.

Why a Splash Head Is Used on a Rotary Evaporator
During rotary evaporation, reactions that foam or bump can carry liquid up out of the flask and into the condenser. A splash head adapter sits between the flask and condenser and uses a modified bump-trap shape with expanded internal volume to catch this carried-over liquid before it reaches the condenser.
This makes it useful for concentrating reaction mixtures or solvents that are prone to excessive foaming. It is supplied as a borosilicate glass component alongside Lab Glassware Manufacturer's other glassware adapters, including multi-neck and vacuum adapter variants.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Adapter Splash Head made of?
It is made from borosilicate glass, giving it the chemical resistance and thermal stability needed for rotary evaporation work.
What does a splash head adapter do?
It prevents the contents of the evaporation flask from being drawn into the condenser, which can otherwise happen during foaming or bumping.
What equipment is it used with?
It is used with rotary evaporators, fitted between the flask and the condenser.
Why does it help with foaming reactions?
Its modified bump-trap shape provides expanded internal volume to hold liquid from reactions that have a tendency to foam excessively, before that liquid can reach the condenser.
Is this adapter sold separately from the rotary evaporator?
Yes, it is a glassware component sold separately; buyers should confirm the joint size needed for their existing rotary evaporator at enquiry stage.
Do you supply this adapter for institutional and export orders?
Yes, Lab Glassware Manufacturer supplies this adapter to schools, colleges, research laboratories, and export buyers as part of its Glassware Adapter range.
