Title: SDE apparatus question (Flath's apparatus)
Post by: wintergreen on April 02, 2009, 11:01:02 PM

Hello, I will be using a Flath's apparatus to isolate fruit volatiles. My purpose is to do GC-MS of the aroma compounds.
I have noted Flath's apparatus is one piece, and seems difficult to clean, since no brush can go inside the condenser...  :-\
Have anybody used this apparatus before? How did you clean it?  ???

It's called something other than flath's apparatus, surely?
