Glass Quality Control Still – Standard
This apparatus has been designed exclusively for small-scale hydro-distillation, so is perfect for determining the perfect time to harvest your crop and ensure optimised essential oil yields.
It can also be used for simple testing of potential plant materials to see if there is a worthwhile yield of essential oil - and if the oil has characteristics that would enable it to be used in your next fragranced product!
Our clever design means that the oil separation system can also cope with those ‘awkward’ essential oils that are heavier than water - or become heavier as the distillation progresses.
We have taken the cleaning process into account too – the 100mm flanged glassware allows perfect access to ensure the flask remains in a perfectly clean and ready for your next distillation.
An additional side-socket future-proofs the kit too, allowing for additional components (e.g. stirrer paddle, separating flask, powder funnel etc.) to be added in the future, should the need arise.
