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.

Distilling Column, Vigreux, Minum-Ware, Column Height 100, OAL 145. Vigreux style column with indentations for improved vapor-liquid contact. Column height is the length of the indented section. Upper threaded outer joint and lower inner joint are 14/10. Supplied complete with open-top screw cap (MW-102-33) and Viton o-ring (MW-100-08).
Chemglass Life Sciences Distilling Bulb, 10mL, Kugelrohr, 14/20 Joint
Kugelrohr bulbs having 14/20 standard taper joints on both ends to connect to other bulbs or single neck round bottom flasks. CG-1012-14 adapter permits connection of Kugelrohr assembly to vacuum. For single neck 14/20 flasks see CG-1506.
Chemglass Life Sciences Manometer, Bubbler, Double Reservoir, Airfree, Schlenk
Manometer, Bubbler, Double Reservoir, Airfree, Schlenk. This double mercury manometer/bubbler is a useful accessory for vacuum/inert systems. It can be used for Schlenk manipulations, transfer of approximate quantities of gases, and for measurement of intermediate pressures. The double reservoir design allows a smaller overall volume of mercury to be used for both exhausting the excess inert gas and to fill the tube on the vacuum side. Both sides may be evacuated to ensure an oxygen-free environment. The top has a bump trap to prevent mercury from contaminating the system. Hose connections have an 11mm OD at the largest serration. Overall dimensions are 120mm W x 1200mm H. PLEASE NOTE: NOT SUPPLIED WITH MERCURY.
Chemglass Life Sciences Pre-Trap Only, Airfree, Schlenk
Pre-Trap Only, Airfree, Schlenk. Pre-trap component of 4-Port Vacuum Manifold Right Handed Trap Assembly (item #50872175). Shown as (H) on image. The pre-trap is 50mm OD x 205mm in length and has two 35/20 socket joints to connect it to the manifold and main trap.
GSC Soxhlet Extraction Apparatus
GSC Soxhlet Extraction Apparatus, or continuous cycle extraction apparatus, is typically used when a compound has a limited solublility or when the impurity is insoluble in a solvent
DWK Life Sciences™ Kimble™ Stainless Steel Standard Taper Joint Clamp
