End Plates
The end plates are rectangular aluminum plates that attach to the open ends of the flask
rack during digestion. Closing the open ends of the rack promotes proper refluxing to
wash down the sides of the tubes for complete and efficient digestions. The end plates
are removed during cooling, dilution and washing.
Fume Removal System (Optional equipment)
An optional fume removal system is available to provide removal of the corrosive fumes
expelled during a digestion. The use of this system is highly recommended to prevent
damage to conventional fume removal hoods.
