What is a degas bottle and where is it located?

A degas bottle, also known as a degassing bottle or gas trap, is a laboratory device used to remove dissolved gases from liquids, particularly in chemical and biological applications. It typically consists of a sealed container with a vent for gas escape and is often used in conjunction with a vacuum system. Degas bottles are commonly found in chemistry labs, particularly in processes involving solvents or solutions that require the removal of air or other gases to prevent reactions or contamination.
