The MEDILAB Distillation Flask is a precision-engineered glass vessel designed for efficient separation, purification, and distillation of liquid mixtures. Manufactured from high-grade Borosilicate Glass 3.3, it ensures exceptional resistance to thermal shock and chemical corrosion. This flask plays an essential role in laboratories and industrial setups that require accurate heating, vaporisation, and condensation processes. It is ideal for routine lab workflows where reliability, clarity, and durability are critical.

Key Features

• High-clarity Borosilicate Glass 3.3 for superior visibility during distillation.
• Excellent thermal resistance, enabling safe use with direct heating and rapid temperature changes.
• Uniform wall thickness for enhanced mechanical strength and long-term performance.
• Precision-formed neck ensures accurate connections with condensers, adapters, and standard-ground joints.
• Chemically inert surface suitable for acids, alkalis, solvents, and organic compounds.
• Leak-proof joint compatibility reduces the risk of vapour loss and improves process efficiency.
• Autoclavable and reusable, making it suitable for GMP/GLP environments.
• Available in multiple capacities to support a wide range of laboratory and industrial applications.
