About GLAS-COL

Glas-Col is a manufacturer of laboratory and industrial heating equipment, known for its line of heating mantles, dry evaporators and concentrator blocks, fume hoods, glove bags, and related accessories. The company was founded in 1939 and is headquartered in Terre Haute, Indiana, USA. Glas-Col's product range is used in applications requiring controlled heating, sample concentration, and containment across chemical, pharmaceutical, environmental, and academic laboratories. The heating mantles are available in various sizes and wattages, with options for digital or analog controllers, and are designed to fit round-bottom flasks. The dry evaporator and concentrator blocks are available in multiple configurations, including 24 or 48 positions, with compatibility for different vial and tube sizes such as 12 x 32 mm, 15 x 45 mm, 18 mm, 50 mL centrifuge tubes, and EPA vials. Some models feature individual needle valves for independent gas flow control. These blocks are used with evaporators to facilitate solvent evaporation and sample concentration. Glas-Col also produces fume hoods and glove bags for handling hazardous materials in a contained environment. The equipment is typically constructed from materials resistant to chemical corrosion, such as stainless steel and PTFE, and is designed for benchtop use. 3G Electric supplies Glas-Col products globally, offering access to a range of laboratory heating and containment equipment. Our catalog includes dry evaporator and concentrator blocks with various position counts and vial sizes, as well as other Glas-Col items. We support procurement for laboratories and industrial facilities by providing product specifications, availability, and quotation services. For technical buyers, Glas-Col equipment is specified by parameters such as position capacity, vial dimensions, overall dimensions, and compatibility with existing evaporator systems. The dry evaporator blocks, for example, are available in models with 24 or 48 positions, and some include needle valves for individual position control. These blocks are designed to fit specific evaporator models, and the manufacturer part numbers (e.g., 109A YH-4829-50) can be used to verify compatibility. Glas-Col's heating mantles are available in a range of sizes to accommodate different flask volumes, with power ratings and temperature ranges that vary by model. The fume hoods and glove bags are designed to provide containment for operations involving hazardous or volatile substances. 3G Electric maintains a catalog of Glas-Col products and can assist with identifying the correct part numbers and configurations for specific laboratory setups. We provide global shipping and support for these products, ensuring that customers can obtain the equipment they need regardless of location. Our team can provide quotes and lead time information based on current inventory and manufacturer schedules. For applications requiring precise sample concentration, the Glas-Col dry evaporator blocks offer a structured approach to holding multiple samples during evaporation. The blocks are machined to hold specific vial sizes securely, and the needle valve option allows for individual sample control, which can be useful when working with varying solvent volumes or evaporation rates. The heating mantles are used for heating round-bottom flasks in synthesis, distillation, and extraction procedures. They are available with different control options, including models with built-in controllers or separate controllers for remote operation. Glas-Col also manufactures heating tapes, cords, and other accessories for laboratory heating applications. The fume hoods are available in benchtop and floor-standing configurations, with various interior liner materials to resist chemical attack. Glove bags provide a portable containment solution for handling hazardous materials in a controlled atmosphere. 3G Electric supplies these products to laboratories, research institutions, and industrial facilities worldwide. We can provide documentation, including certificates of origin and compliance, as applicable. Our goal is to facilitate the procurement of Glas-Col equipment by offering clear product information and responsive customer service. For specific technical questions, we can coordinate with the manufacturer to obtain detailed specifications and application support.
