Sparging with N₂

Method: Injection of N₂ to achieve anaerobic environment

• Procedure

1. Put carefully one long needle in the vessel for injecting N₂
2. Put one short needle in the vessel for removing the containing oxygen
3. Open the pressure valve of the Nitrogen gas container
4. Turn round (anticlockwise) the nitrogen valve to open it until there is a flow of gas.
5. Sparge with N₂ by connecting the N₂ gas tube with the long needle.
6. After 3/ 5 min remove first the small needle and after 2 seconds the long needle.
7. Turn off the nitrogen valve.
