BOLA produces a range of sophisticated, professional laboratory products constructed from a variety of high performance materials, developed and manufactured by in-house specialists with precision and attention to detail. The use of specific materials, such as PTFE, enables innovative product design for stirring and mixing, temperature measurement, distillation and filtration, ensuring excellent chemical and thermal resistance.
BOLA benefits from keeping both design and production of their products in-house, allowing them full control over every aspect of the manufacturing process. This means that all requirements, from safety to functionality to design, are realised with the efficiency and expertise expected of a competitive modern laboratory products manufacturer.
Screw joints and ground joint components, tubing and connectors allow a large number of possible combinations when it comes to creating sophisticated systems for sampling and feed, using standard laboratory bottles and containers. For the distillation of strong acids or alkaline products, BOLA offers reaction vessels with up to 6 litre capacity in either PTFE or PFA. All parts exposed to mediums are either made completely of PTFE/PFA, or jacketed for effective protection.
BOLA stirrer shafts consist of a PTFE-jacketed stainless steel shaft, and a stirrer blade made of solid PTFE. Stainless steel cores provide high mechanical stability and allows safe fixing in agitators. The stirrer blade is fixed tightly to the stirrer shaft and cannot be loosened by the product. All PTFE-jacketed stirrer shafts can be used at temperatures of up to +250°C without compromising their chemical resistance.

The fittings and stopcocks are made of pure PTFE. Assembled with BOLA HT laboratory screw joints, which are resistant to temperatures up to +250C. The universal chemical resistance of the fluoroplastic materials allows the application of the GL screw joint components with almost every liquid and gas. Combinations of different components are possible with GL thread to help create complete labware solutions.

Tubing up to 4mm can be fixed securely at the necessary immersion depth. Distributors with stopcocks allow the closure of unused ports, and FEP stopcock plugs provide universal chemical resistance. The distributor body can also be turned independently of the screw-cap, meaning an assembled distributor can be removed and attached to a separate bottle without disarranging the tubing.

BOLA tubing is available in a variety of lengths and dimensions to suit specific individual needs. Continuous lengths of tubing up to 0.D. 10mm are available, whilst tubing up to 0.D. of 3mm with a minimum length of 30 metres is supplied on reels. BOLA guarantees excellent quality at fair prices, with stricter tolerances than general industrial standard GKV.

Thermocouples are located at the end of a PTFE-encased stainless steel tube, providing stability whilst maintaining flexibility for optimal measuring. The cables are also encased in PTFE/PFA and fixed tightly to the temperature probe. Connections can be made with LEMO couplings, or by connecting the cable strands directly to a measuring device.

BOLA distillation apparatus are suitable for strong acid and alkaline products, as well as volatile solvents, where the chemical resistance of other materials is insufficient. All parts exposed to a medium are either made entirely of PTFE/PFA or coated with PTFE. For additional security, all BOLA distillation apparatus is equipped with the patented Safe-Lab systems, ensuring safe and secure connections.

BOLA filtration products are available in a variety of pore sizes ranging from 50um to 0.05um. This makes them suitable for a number of applications, from the filtration of coarse particles and distribution of gas liquids, to ultra-cleaning of solvents and gases. BOLA filters also have excellent temperature resistance, safely ranging between -200C to +260C, and even up to +300C for a limited period.
