DESCRIPTION
This laboratory glassware set makes an excellent organic chemistry vacuum distillation kit. Beginners and expert scientists alike will save time and money with this simple vacuum distillation set!
What does "distill" mean?
Distilling a liquid consists of three steps: 1) purifying it by vaporizing it, 2) condensing it by cooling the vapor, and 3) collecting the resulting liquid. As one example of application, essential oils are created through a process called steam distillation.

- 500 ml glass round bottom flask
- 1000 ml glass round bottom flask
- 300 mm Graham condenser
- 75° distilling head
- 105° vacuum adapter / receiving tube
- thermometer jacket tube
- glass stopper
- 5 plastic keck joint clips
- Shipping box with foam inserts for storage
What makes this lab glassware kit ideal for organic chemistry?
- made of high-quality GG17 borosilicate glass
- withstands thermal temperature variations
- standard taper ground joint glassware
- nothing to contaminate the distillate
- leak-proof connections with silicone or PTFE
What does 24/29 standard taper ground glass joints mean?
- 24 mm diameter at the widest part
