O’Rourke Enterprises was founded in 1983 by William O’Rourke, after many years pursuing, developing, and perfecting his glassblowing skills. O’Rourke Enterprises provides the highly specialized glassblowing capabilities required in the manufacturing of scientific and opto-electronics components. Glass feed-thru seals, glass seals to kovar, sapphire, silicon, ZnS, ZnSe and platinum leads are just a sampling of the skills O’Rourke Enterprises offers.

O’Rourke Enterprises has moved to NDS Technologies’ second manufacturing site at 3823 N. Mill Road in Vineland, NJ. With this acquisition, NDS has taken another major step in adding to our strong technological field and customer foundation. NDS’ existing capabilities including, but not limited to: precision bore tubing, centerless grinding, flat glass grinding and polishing, silk-screening, as well as, volumetric calibration and graduation. Bill adds yet another dimension to our glass working experience and knowledge base.

Bill will remain with NDS to help train and transfer his unique knowledge to our engineering staff and glassware specialist, Dottie Cowgill, in the glass and metal skills he has developed and learned over his career as a master glass blower.

Please feel free to contact Bill, or Dottie, by phone at 856-691-0330, or by email at orourke@ndsglass.com.

We are very excited about this acquisition and look forward to working closely with Bill in the future to continue servicing all of O’Rourke Enterprises’ customers effectively, as Bill has done since 1983.

Tru-Con™ Assembled Microwave Vial System https://www.ndsglass.com/tru-con-assembled-microwave-vial-system/ Fri, 11 Apr 2014 14:04:11 +0000 http://www.ndsglass.com/?p=1413 Tru-Con™ Assembled Microwave Vial System

Save time and maximize sample recovery with this unique microwave vial adapter system.

  • Saves time
  • Adapts to all sizes of standard microwave vials with crimp-style finishes
  • Concentrates samples directly in vials

After a sample is dissolved in solvent and transferred to a microwave vial, this adapter and bump trap assembly allow the sample to be directly concentrated in the vial. The standard taper joint at the top of the adapter provides direct connection to a rotary evaporator. The trap insert is made from PTFE and guards against bumping of the solvents under vacuum conditions while allowing the sample solution to drain back to the vial. Flexible by design, this system adapts to all sizes of standard microwave vials with crimp-style finishes. It can also be used with other vacuum or drying gas systems that utilize standard taper joints.
The borosilicate glass bump trap incorporates a square beaded joint at the top and a GL-25 threaded connector with PBT cap at the bottom.

Basic Conception of Process (Pre-Reaction)

1. Dissolve solid starting materical in volatile solvent to insure complete transfer of product.

2. Pipette dissolved starting materials into microwave vial.

3. Connect microwave vial to adapter system. Concentrate starting material (removal of volatile solvent) by means of rotary evaporator process (controlled temperature and reduced pressure).

Once the starting material has been concentrated, the microwave vial would be removed from the adapter. Any additional reactants would then be added, and the vial would be crimp-sealed, and run through the microwave process.

Pre-reaction Adapter Benefits

The Microwave Vial Adapter system provides a means for a complete transfer of reactants directly to the microwave vial. This adapter allowes the concentration of the pre-reaction starting material by means of a rotary evaporation process as described above. By using this adapter system, 100% of the concentrated starting material is retained in the microwave vial with no product loss.

Current pre-reaction compound preparation calls for concentration of starting material in a round bottom flask. The solid compound must then be scraped from the walls of the flask, and transferred to the microwave vial. Some loss of the product can occur in this step. This potential loss of materical can be critical, especially when there is only a small amount of starting material available.

Post-Reaction Benefits

Once the microwave rection process is complete, any remaining solvents or reactants can be further removed by the rotary evaporator process. Additionally, the standard tapered joint utilized by the adapter system provides a direct connection of the microwave vial to other types of vacuum sources, such as a manifold. This allows the sample to be dried by the use of other types of vacuum sources. It also allows the use of drying gas (such as nitrogen) through the manifold system.

Tru-Con™ GL 45 to Standard Taper Glassware Adapter https://www.ndsglass.com/tru-con_glassware_adapter/ Fri, 11 Apr 2014 08:24:40 +0000 http://166.78.110.184/?p=310

Tru-Con™ GL 45 to Standard Taper Glassware Adapter

Brilliant little performer connects media bottles with drip rings to standard taper glassware.

  • Converts GL 45 threads to standard taper, 24/40 glassware
  • Developed in a hard-working lab like yours
  • Design ensures only glass and PTFE contact

This innovative adapter can expand the role your GL 45 media bottles with drip rings play in the lab. Multi-talented and easy to work with, this adapter features a standard taper, 24/40 outer joint at the top. With the PTFE body in place, just thread the coupler and body onto your bottle and tighten. Then, insert your standard taper glassware in the top and attach the polyacetal clamp. A secure, positive connection is achieved and the assembly is ready to perform. The adapter also plays well when teamed with your lab’s rotary evaporator. And who knows, when you find other parts for this brilliant, little performer, we’d love to hear from you.

TLC Developing Tanks https://www.ndsglass.com/tlc_developing_tanks/ Thu, 05 Dec 2013 17:33:26 +0000 http://166.78.110.184/?p=225

TLC Developing Tanks

NDS Technologies TLC Developing Tanks are manufactured using heavy-duty, clear-sided glass. The developing tanks are designed to for use with 10 x 10cm, 10 x 20cm and 20 x 20cm TLC plates. Tops of tanks are ground to provide a reliable seal to the lid. Tanks have a ridge molded into the center of the tank to allow simultaneous development with two 20 x 20cm, two 10 x 20cm or four 5 x 20cm plates. Complete developing tanks are supplied with a clear flat glass lid.

Tanks are available in two styles, both with ground tops. NDS Article No. 2052 has a plain top and NDS Article No. 2053 has a latch lid. Lids are also available in two styles, 2052 is non-slip with a knob for easy lifting and PTFE retainers to keep the lid from accidentally sliding off the tank and 2053 latch lids are designed to hold firmly to the latch lid developing tank, which greatly improves the stability of the saturated environment. Latch lids also have a knob for easy removal and PTFE retainers.
