Chemglass Vigruex Distillation Head Jacketed 100mm Column

The Chemglass CG-1246-10 Vigreux Distillation Head is a specialized piece of laboratory glassware designed for fractional distillation, a process used to separate liquids with close boiling points. This distillation head features a 100mm column, providing a length sufficient for achieving a degree of separation between different components in a mixture as vapors rise and condense along the column.

A key feature of this distillation head is its jacketed design, which allows for the circulation of a heating or cooling fluid around the column. This temperature control capability enhances the efficiency of the distillation process by maintaining a more consistent temperature gradient along the column, leading to better separation of the fractions. The Vigreux column design incorporates indentations or spines that increase the surface area for vapor condensation and equilibration, further improving the separation efficiency.

The Chemglass CG-1246-10 Jacketed Vigreux Distillation Head is a valuable tool in organic chemistry and other laboratories requiring precise separation of liquid mixtures.
