What the Heck is This?

That is a mutant beaker.

Could it be a bottle that gets put in a centrifuge and sediment get settles into those holes????

Where did you find such a cool item?

 

[OldGuy43]

Is it Pyrex?

 

[anderson8505]

Part of a lamp?

Conny, you are the winner! Just got an email back from Tudor Sci, and he said the top fits into the rotovap, and sediments move into the arm-thingies. He said he'd call it a "centrifical flask", but must either be an older line or special order cause it isn't in their product list.

...Buuuut, a horror movie prop or a lamp gone wrong is cooler. XD

Stupidbird, it was an Ebay find. They have a pretty good Sci glassware selection usually.

Well, I'm certainly glad we got that settled. Of course that brings up a whole new question. What the heck is a rotovap and what kind of sediments does it deal with?

I am a pharmacy/organic chem major and never in any lab have I seen that contraption?!
