Description
[table id=823 /]
The MEDILAB Air Condenser is a straight, heat-resistant glass condenser that cools vapours using natural air convection. Commonly used in organic synthesis, distillation, and reflux procedures where water circulation is not required, it offers a clean and efficient solution for small-scale or water-sensitive operations. Its simple design, high durability, and maintenance-free operation make it an essential component in modern laboratories and industrial testing environments.
Key Features
- High-grade Borosilicate Glass 3.3 for superior thermal and chemical resistance
- Efficient air-cooling mechanism for low- to medium-boiling-point solvents
- Uniform inner bore ensures consistent vapor flow and effective condensation
- Precision-ground glass joints for leak-proof and secure apparatus connection
- Scratch-resistant, non-porous surface for easy cleaning and long operational life
- Water-free operation eliminates the need for tubing and lowers maintenance costs
- Lightweight and robust design ideal for routine laboratory workflows
- Compatible with standard laboratory setups (24/29 or other joint sizes on request)
