Distillation glassware

Distillation glassware is the set of flasks, condensers and connectors that carry a liquid through heating, vapour transfer and collection during a separation. A distillation train built from this glassware splits a mixture into fractions by boiling point, the vapour rising from a heated flask, cooling in a condenser and dropping into a receiver. On Questpair, 182 items of distillation glassware are listed from 11 verified suppliers and distributors across 6 countries. Of those listings, 90 percent are used. New, used and refurbished units all appear in the laboratory catalogue, with ground-glass joints and borosilicate construction the two features that decide whether separate pieces fit together.
