Product Description
Distill small, valuable samples with minimal loss. A compact head and condenser shrink the wetted surface area, so less product clings to the glass and separations improve, while a cow-type receiver lets you collect several fractions without breaking vacuum or interrupting the run.
This listing is for Kimble catalog number 284800-0000: KONTES Short Path Compact Distillation Apparatus. The set includes a compact head and condenser, a cow-type receiver with aligned tubes for best product recovery and a pear-shaped flask with a 10/18 side arm for a bleed tube. Joints are 14/20 with a 10/18 thermometer joint, and the assembly measures about 215 mm wide and 190 mm high. Glass is low extractable 33 expansion borosilicate. Add it to your LIGHT LABS order alongside the rest of your glassware and closures.
