Product Description
Add a touch of fractionation to a short path distillation without extra glassware. With a standard taper thermometer in place, the thermometer bulb and stem act as column packing inside the Vigreux section, improving separation while keeping the condensate path short and product losses low.
This listing is for Kimble catalog number 287120-0000: KONTES Short Path Vigreux Distillation Head. Closely coupled condenser and vacuum connections give a short condensate travel path. The head has 14/20 joints and a 10/18 thermometer joint and measures about 95 mm wide and 105 mm high. It is made from low extractable 33 expansion borosilicate glass that conforms to USP Type I and ASTM E438, Type I, Class A requirements. LIGHT LABS supplies the complete DWK Life Sciences line, including Kimble, Wheaton and DURAN labware.
