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 Distilling Head, Vigreux, Jacketed, 10/30 Thermometer Joint, 24/40 Joint Size, 4mm Glass Stopcock, Approx. 550mm Height x 325mm Width
Distilling Head, Vigreux, Jacketed, 10/30 Thermometer Joint,24/40 Joint Size, 4mm Glass Stopcock, Approx. 550mm Height x 325mm Width. Jacketed fractionation distilling head for use under vacuum. The 10/18 top outer joint is for a 1¿ immersion thermometer while the 10/30 joints are for a 2¿ immersion thermometer. The 24/40 joint size uses 4mm glass or PTFE stopcocks, and are positioned to permit changing of receiver without interruption of the distillation process. The 14/20 size uses 2mm bore glass or PTFE stopcocks.
Chemglass Life Sciences Distilling Head, Short Path, 10/30 Thermometer Joint, 24/40 Lower Inner Joint, Approx. 195mm Width x 160mm Height
Distilling Head, Short Path, 10/30 Thermometer Joint, 24/40 Lower Inner Joint, Approx. 195mm Width x 160mm Height. Designed for use with small quantities where hold up between the flask and receiver must be kept to a minimum. The thermometer bulb and stem serve as column packing. Upper hose connections are for cooling lines while the lower connection is for vacuum. Available with Vigreux indentations to improve efficiency. NOTE: The 14/20 size accepts a 1” immersion 7/12 or 10/18 thermometer, while the 24/40 and 29/42 sizes accepts a 2” immersion, 10/30 thermometer.
