The MEDILAB Allihn (Bulb) Condenser is a high-efficiency laboratory condenser designed with multiple spherical bulbs to provide an expanded cooling surface. This structure significantly increases condensation efficiency, making it ideal for reflux reactions and solvent recovery. Its robust construction and reliable thermal performance make it an essential component in chemical synthesis, academic experiments, and analytical workflows.

Key Features

  • The multiple-bulb design offers superior cooling and condensation efficiency.
  • Manufactured using high-grade Borosilicate Glass 3.3 for long-term durability.
  • Excellent thermal shock and chemical resistance are suitable for demanding applications.
  • Uniform coolant flow ensures consistent heat-exchange performance.
  • Precision-ground joints ensure tight, leak-free connections with standard lab apparatus.
  • Crystal-clear transparency for easy visual monitoring of the condensation path.
  • Available in multiple lengths and joint sizes to fit various reflux systems.
