Vortex Plugs & Positioning Rods
Vortex Plugs and Positioning Rods
Vortex Plugs are recommended for spinning experiments where a vortex is created in your sample. PTFE flexible fins fit snugly into Precision Thin-Wall NMR tubes. A positioning rod is needed to place the Vortex Plug at the correct height in the NMR tube. An air vent in the plug’s centre assures easy insertion. Not recommended for variable temperature experiments.
