Abstract
Loading capillaries with solids often is required for purpose such as determining the melting point of materials, storing small quantities of chemicals and carrying out reactions with solids at microscale level. This operation, when air-sensitive compounds are involved usually is performed in a globe-box with an inert gas. The procedure described in this article offers a simpler way to charge capillaries or tubes in an inert atmosphere using inexpensive materials.

Francisco J. ArnáizJournal of Chemical Education2000 77 (10), 1354Latex gloves, and in general flexible gloves, are inexpensive ubiquitous items whose utility in chemistry labs goes far beyond their primary mission. Here we mention some typical situations in which latex gloves can aid in overcoming difficulties that ...
