Distillation Labware
Glassware and replacement parts designed to carry out distillations in laboratory settings; includes condensers, distillation heads, receivers, etc. Products are available for various scales and for specialty distillations.
Distillation is a process used widely in the laboratory or in wider working environments for separating or purifying liquids or liquid mixtures based on the different boiling points of individual components.
Distillation Applications:
• Separation and purification of miscible liquid mixtures in organic chemistry
• Drying of solid residues and/or solvent removal
• Fractional distillation of liquids from polymers and petroleum products
• Removal of particulates or other solid contaminants
• As part of a water purification system for production of distilled water for laboratory use
• Specialist steam distillation-based applications such as Kjeldahl analysis of nitrogen and proteins in food, beverage, or environmental samples
What Types of Distillation Equipment Are Available?
Conventional distillation apparatus, typically comprising individual, jointed borosilicate glassware components assembled by the user (depending upon the application), using appropriate clamps, stands, and supports. Most conventional distillation assemblies combine a round-bottomed distilling flask to contain and heat the liquid(s) that require purification, fitted with a stoppered or jointed neck to which is attached a downward-sloping, inclined side-arm for connection to a condensing unit to cool the heated vapors back down to their liquid state. Heating mantles are the preferred heat source for improved temperature control. These conventional distillation units are also available supplied complete and ready-assembled for added convenience and ease of use.
Specialized automated distillation equipment, notably units designed for the determination of volatile acidity and alcoholic strength by volume in wines, musts, and alcoholic beverages, and units designed for Kjeldahl nitrogen or protein determinations.

Chemglass Life Sciences Vacuum Trap Body Only, 55/50
Vacuum Trap Body Only, 55/50. Replacement part for CG451415.
Chemglass Life Sciences Vacuum Trap, Complete, 60mm Body OD x 300mm Overall Length, 30mm OD Side and Inner Tubes, 55/50 Jt.
Vacuum Trap, Dual Chamber, Complete. Dual chamber vacuum trap affords increased condensing capacity in a much shorter length. The dry ice cold fingers have 55/50 inner joints that fit into the outer joints on the main trap body and have a capacity of approx. 300mL each. Lower stopcock is a PTFE 4mm ¿T¿-bore which permits draining condensate chambers one at a time. Serrated connections at the top of the condensate chambers have an O.D. of 10mm. Complete trap assembly is approx. 545mm in height x 220mm wide.
Chemglass Life Sciences Distilling Receiver, 10mL, Moisture Test, Merlic, 14/20 Joint Size, 2mm PTFE Stopcock, Approx. 275mm Height x 75mm Width
Distilling Receiver, 10mL, Moisture Test, Merlic, 14/20 Joint Size, 2mm PTFE Stopcock, Approx. 275mm Height x 75mm Width. Modified Dean-Stark trap allows for more efficient cooling and separation of the azeotrope during distillation. Graduated from 0 to 10ml in 0.2mL subdivisions.Design suggested by Dr. Craig Merlic, University of California, Los Angeles, California.
Ace Glass, Inc. Trap, bump, drain holes, 250mL, 24/40 top, 24/40 bottom
250mL bump trap for use between a rotary evaporators steam tube and evaporator flask, preventing fluid from being drawn into the condenser. Trap has 24/40 top and bottom joints. Improved design incorporates two drain holes to expedite the return of solvent to the evaporator flask.
