I'm from an engineering back ground, so Schlenk lines built with retort stands always look a little scary/flimsy. They also consume a lot of fume cupboard space. It's great to see a Schlenk line that actually looks robust and more clearly laid out (it also looks more easily removed from the fume cupboard). I'd love to see a video (or paper) with more details on how you designed/built this Schlenk rack. As Jose implied, I think it would be great to be able to buy a proper Schlenk rack like this.
The setup is custom made in our in house workshop. The frame is extruded aluminium profile (available online or at DIY shops), the glassware is available at your chemical glassware supplier, the holders we use are possibly cut to size. Then it is a matter of connecting them with hoses and setting the pressure reducer and over pressure valve at the correct settings.

Is that setup custom-made?
If yes, please tell me where to order.
We are currently trying to build a setup like this in our lab.
Thanks.
Did you find were to buy it setup?
