Distillation Assembly

[table id=832 /]

The GISCOM  Distillation Assembly is a complete glass setup designed for the separation and purification of liquid mixtures through controlled heating and condensation. Used extensively in chemical analysis, research, and production environments, this assembly ensures efficient heat exchange and reliable fraction collection. Its precision-crafted Borosilicate Glass 3.3 construction provides excellent durability, thermal stability, and clarity—making it a trusted choice for laboratories and industrial users worldwide.

Key Features

• Complete functional assembly including round-bottom flask, recovery bend, Liebig condenser, and receiver adapter.
• Manufactured from Borosilicate Glass 3.3 for superior thermal shock resistance and long service life.
• High optical clarity for easy visual monitoring of boiling, condensation, and distillate flow.
• Uniform wall thickness ensures structural integrity under continuous heating.
• Precisely ground joints for leak-proof, secure, and compatible connections with standard laboratory apparatus.
• Efficient cooling performance with a high-surface-area Liebig condenser.
• Chemical-resistant and non-reactive, suitable for organic, inorganic, and solvent-based distillation.
• Ideal for teaching, research, QC/QA, and small-scale production workflows.

Material Specifications

• Material: High-grade Borosilicate Glass 3.3
• Thermal Properties: Low thermal expansion coefficient (~3.3 × 10⁻⁶ K⁻¹), Excellent resistance to thermal shock, suitable for high-temperature operations in laboratory settings
• Chemical Resistance: Highly resistant to acids, solvents, alkaline solutions, and reagents. Inert surface prevents sample contamination
• Mechanical Strength: Stress-free annealed glass for improved durability

 Technical Specifications

• Components Included: Round-bottom flask (various capacities), Recovery/Still head (bent adapter),  Liebig condenser receiver adapter
• Available Capacities: Standard flasks from 250 mL, 500 mL, 1000 mL, and higher (as per the standard size table)
• Joint Sizes: Compatible with standard ground joints (e.g., 24/29, 19/26 or as per order)
• Dimensional Tolerances: Precision-crafted within international tolerance standards for laboratory apparatus
• Cooling Ports: Standard hose connections for water inlet/outlet
• Accessories (Optional): stands, clamps, thermometers, receivers, and additional adapters

 Handling & Precautions

• Inspect joints and glass surfaces for cracks before use.
• Avoid rapid temperature changes to prevent thermal stress or breakage.
• Ensure secure clamping without overtightening to protect glass components.
• Use compatible heating mantles, water baths, or regulated heat sources.
• Clean with laboratory-grade non-abrasive detergents; rinse thoroughly.
• Allow the apparatus to cool before washing or dismantling.
• Autoclavable within Borosilicate Glass 3.3 temperature limits.
• Keep condenser water flow steady but not excessive to prevent pressure buildup.
• Do not use damaged or chipped glass parts in active distillation.

Applications

• Chemical Laboratories: Purification, solvent recovery, and synthesis processes.
• Pharmaceutical Industry: Distillation for purity checks, sample preparation, and QC/QA analysis.
• Biotechnology & Life Sciences: Separation and processing of sensitive biological solvents.
• Academic & Research Institutions: Demonstration of distillation principles, teaching experiments.
• Industrial/Production Labs: Small-scale distillation workflows and process development.
• Essential for applications requiring controlled separation, purification, and solvent reuse.
