Distillation Kit
Model Number: MTMO-012
The Distillation Kit is a practical laboratory apparatus set for separating and purifying liquid mixtures through controlled vaporization and condensation. It brings together essential glassware and supporting components required to establish a functional distillation arrangement for chemistry practicals, teaching demonstrations, laboratory training, and selected research applications. The configuration can include a boiling flask, distillation head, condenser, receiving vessel, joints, adapters, and support accessories depending on the selected setup. Micro Technologies supplies laboratory distillation equipment with emphasis on dimensional consistency, dependable glass construction, convenient assembly, and repeated laboratory use. The kit is suitable for schools, colleges, universities, research laboratories, pharmaceutical facilities, and industrial training environments where small-scale liquid separation procedures are routinely performed.
Product Specification
The Distillation Kit provides a coordinated laboratory setup for basic liquid separation and purification experiments based on vaporization followed by condensation. By bringing the principal apparatus components together, the kit helps laboratories establish a functional distillation arrangement without sourcing every glassware component individually. A typical setup incorporates a boiling flask, distillation head, condenser, receiving vessel, and compatible connection accessories. The exact configuration can be selected according to the intended application and required capacity.
During a conventional distillation experiment, the liquid mixture is heated in the boiling vessel until the more volatile component enters the vapor phase. The vapor travels through the distillation path toward the condenser, where cooling water removes heat and converts the vapor back into liquid. The resulting distillate is then directed into a receiving vessel. This arrangement is commonly used for educational demonstrations and laboratory-scale separation of liquids with sufficiently different boiling characteristics.
Laboratory distillation glassware is commonly manufactured from borosilicate glass because the material offers useful resistance to thermal stress and chemical exposure in appropriate operating conditions. Interchangeable or ground-glass joints can also make apparatus assembly more systematic while reducing dependence on improvised connections. The choice of condenser, flask capacity, joint size, and receiver shouldaching laboratories where students need practical exposure to evaporation, condensation, boiling-point concepts, and liquid separation. It can also support selected laboratory-scale purification and solvent recovery procedures where the apparatus and materials are appropriate.
Micro Technologies can supply distillation apparatus for edcational institutions, research organizations, pharmaceutical laboratories, industrial laboratories, and bulk procurement projects. Proper cleaning, inspection, secure clamping, and controlled heating help preserve the glassware and support dependable long-term use. Distillation should never be performed in a completely closed system, as vapor expansion can create hazardous pressure buildup.

FAQs
What is a laboratory Distillation Kit used for?
A Distillation Kit is used for laboratory-scale separation or purification of liquid mixtures through vaporization and subsequent condensation.
It is commonly used for chemistry practicals, demonstrations, solvent-related procedures, and laboratory training.
The appropriate apparatus configuration depends on the mixture and intended separation method.
What type of glass is used in the Distillation Kit?
Laboratory distillation apparatus is commonly manufactured using borosilicate glass because of its useful resistance to thermal shock and many laboratory chemicals.
The actual chemical suitability should be checked for every application.
Sudden temperature changes and mechanical impacts should be avoided during use.
How accurate is a Distillation Kit?
The kit itself is primarily separation apparatus rather than a calibrated measuring instrument.
Distillation performance depends on heating control, condenser cooling, apparatus configuration, sample properties, and experimental technique.
Separate calibrated instruments should be used where precise quantitative measurement is required.
Can the Distillation Kit be used for industrial laboratory applications?
Yes, suitable configurations can support laboratory-scale separation, purification, training, and development work in industrial environments.
The kit is not automatically suitable for pressurized or process-scale distillation.
Application-specific temperature, pressure, chemical compatibility, and safety requirements must be evaluated before use.
Can Distillation Kits be purchased in bulk?
Yes. Bulk supply can be arranged for universities, colleges, schools, research centers, pharmaceutical laboratories, and industrial testing facilities.
Multiple configurations can be considered for laboratories equipping several practical workstations.
Institutional buyers can request a quotation based on quantity and capacity.
Can the Distillation Kit be customized?
Customized configurations may be available depending on the required flask capacity, condenser type, joint size, receiver, and supporting accessories.
The requested combination should be reviewed for component compatibility before production or supply.
This option is useful for laboratories following specific experimental procedures.
How should the distillation apparatus be maintained?
Clean the glassware promptly after use using suitable laboratory cleaning procedures and inspect every component before storage.
Ground joints, tubing connections, and condenser ports should be kept clean and free from deposits.
Any cracked, chipped, or visibly damaged glassware should be removed from service.
How should the condenser be connected?
For a water-cooled condenser, cooling water is normally introduced through the lower connection and discharged through the upper connection.
This arrangement helps keep the cooling jacket filled and promotes effective heat transfer.
The setup should follow the manufacturer's instructions and laboratory SOP.
