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, 35mm Body OD x 250mm Body Length, 16mm OD Side and Inner Tubes
Vacuum Trap, 35mm Body OD x 250mm Body Length, 16mm OD Side and Inner Tubes. Similar to CG-4510 but with top inlet tube bent at a 90º angle.
Chemglass Life Sciences Distilling Receiver, 12mL, 14/20, Complete, Approx. 175mm Height x 240mm Width
Distilling Receiver, 12mL, 14/20, Complete, Approx. 175mm Height x 240mm Width. The 135º angle between the center line of the condenser and the receiver tubes allows the distillate to fall directly into the receiver tubes. This receiver can be used with short path style distilling heads. Complete receiver is supplied with distribution adapter, three 12mL receiver tubes, and six CG-110 stainless steel springs.
Ace Glass, Inc. 24/40 25mL Dean & Stark Moisture Test Receiver
24/40 25mL Dean & Stark Moisture Test Receiver with return line to allow excess solvent to return to the boiling flask. Suitable for ASTM D 95 and E 123.
Chemglass Life Sciences Distilling Column, 29/42 Joint, 150mm, Vigreux
Distilling Column, 29/42 Joint, 150mm, Vigreux. Vigreux style column with indentations that run the entire length of the column for improved vapor-liquid contact. Column length refers to the effective length, measured from the lowest to highest indent in the column. Column has a top outer and lower inner standard taper joint.
