Custom retort stands?

[bennimo225]

Hello everyone. I need to get my hands on some retort stands with three vertical rods in the base. The closest I could find online had 2. Does anyone know if there is a company that sells something like this, or one that makes retort stands to order?

Thanks

I don't know of any companies per say, butI have to ask why you would need one specifically with three rods on it?

I have a set of glass-ware that is designed for a 3-rod stand. These have been used many times before, but we now need to get more. For some reason we have spare glassware, and would like to find stands that could match them.

If your aim is to be able to use certain glass ware, and assuming you are based in a lab, you could always use the series of stands that you can screw in to the back of fume hoods. I'm ot sure what they're called exactly, but we use them in our labs. You can see them in this picture: http://www.scmb.uq.edu.au/homepages/williams/photos/SX.JPG Other than that, I'm afraid I wouldn't know where to direct you. I'm not quite up to the stage where I do ordering for the group yet.
