For the distillation of sensitive compounds a vacuum distillation is often used. By using a vacuum the boiling temperature of the compound is reduced; thus you can distill at a lower temperature and your compound does not decompose. This unit has a capacity of 1000ml, and is made of borosilicate glass with a column-type water cooled condenser. The boiling flask is 100ml, receiving flask is 500ml. This apparatus uses 24/40 ground glass joints throughout. Vacuum Distillation Glassware includes: * 1000ml Boiling Flask * 3-way Adapter * Capilary Adapter * Thermometer Assembly * Claisen Adapter * Condenser * Vacuum Adapter * 500ml Receiving Flask ***This apparatus is made of 3.3 Borosilicate Glass. When properly supported the maximum SAFE operating temperature is 520 C.***
