Scorbie Splitter is a composite stable glider duplicator. It consists of a dependent syringe, which converts an input glider to a Herschel, and a Herschel-to-glider converter labelled SW25T179_SE28T20, which was discovered by Dongook Lee in June 2017.[1] It has a repeat time of 90 due to the first glider-to-Herschel stage.

The conduit is Spartan in slmake standards, and so it has been widely used in single-channel constructors. Some examples of self-constructing patterns based on it are HashLife-friendly demonoid, Hydra, camelship and loopships.

The 90-degree SW25T179 output of the device is on a transparent lane, enabling it to merge glider streams. If only that output is needed, the following variant discovered by EvinZL in June 2021 can be used.[2]
