Product Description
Keeping fractions separate during a distillation is simpler when the adapter feeding your receiver is built for the job. This distribution adapter pairs with a rotating receiver so distillate can be directed to individual collection vessels while the apparatus stays closed.
This listing is for Kimble catalog number 536002-0000: KONTES Distribution Adapter. Made of laboratory glass, the adapter fits between the condenser outlet and a rotating multi-place receiver. Turning the receiver aligns each collection vessel with the adapter outlet, allowing several fractions to be taken in sequence. It is commonly used in vacuum distillation setups where opening the system between fractions would disturb the run. LIGHT LABS supplies the complete DWK Life Sciences line, including Kimble, Wheaton and DURAN labware.
Key Features
- Pairs with rotating receivers – Designed to feed distillate into a rotating fraction receiver.
- Closed-system fraction changes – Switch collection vessels without breaking the setup.
- Glass construction – Chemically resistant glass suits a wide range of solvents and products.
- Vacuum compatible – Suitable for reduced-pressure distillation assemblies.
