Freeze-Pump-Thaw for Removing Dissolved Gases
Description
Freeze-pump-thaw cycling is a method for removing dissolved gases from a liquid. Degassing means taking dissolved gases out of a liquid. These gases can include oxygen or carbon dioxide.
Dissolved gases can cause problems in the lab. They can interfere with chemical reactions that use sensitive r...
