Steam Distillation Kit For Oil Essential, BORO 3.3

Description Description Steam Distillation Kit for Essential Oils, BORO 3.3 is designed for efficient extraction of volatile aromatic compounds from plant material using controlled steam distillation. The kit enables steam to pass through botanicals, carrying essential oil vapours into the condenser where they are cooled and collected for separation. This workflow is widely used in teaching laboratories, university research, and product development settings for isolating essential oils from herbs, spices, flowers, and other natural samples, with clear visual monitoring of distillation rate and condensate return. Manufactured from high quality LabChoice BORO 3.3 borosilicate glass, the kit offers excellent thermal stability, low thermal expansion, and strong chemical resistance to water, steam, and common plant distillates. BORO 3.3 glass performance aligns with recognised borosilicate standards such as ISO 3585 and ASTM E438 Type I, supporting dependable durability under repeated heating and cooling cycles and routine laboratory handling. Smooth internal surfaces help minimise residue retention and simplify cleaning between runs, improving repeatability and reducing cross contamination when switching between botanical samples. Designed for secure, low leak assembly using precision ground joints, the kit supports stable operation when properly clamped and connected to cooling water lines. Efficient condensation helps minimise vapour loss and improves essential oil recovery during extended distillation runs. For best practice, maintain steady heating, run cooling water from the lower inlet to upper outlet on the condenser, avoid overpacking plant material, and follow laboratory safety procedures for hot glassware and steam handling. Supplied by LabChoice Australia, this BORO 3.3 steam distillation kit is widely used across Australian schools, universities, research institutes, and industrial laboratories where reliable essential oil extraction and robust borosilicate construction are required. Kit sizes available: 1000 mL, 2000 mL, and 5000 mL. Custom joint options are also available on request.
