The MEDILAB Receiver Bend (Vertical, with Drip Tip) is a precision-built glass adapter designed to facilitate clean, controlled transfer of condensate in distillation assemblies. Its vertical configuration and integrated drip tip ensure accurate delivery of distillate into receiving flasks without splashing or loss. This adapter is essential for achieving consistent distillation performance in research, analytical, and industrial laboratory environments.
Key Features
- Manufactured from premium Borosilicate Glass 3.3 for exceptional chemical and thermal resistance.
- Vertical bend design optimised for compact setups and smooth condensate flow.
- Integrated drip tip ensures precise dropwise delivery and minimises sample contamination.
- Precision-ground standard taper joints guarantee reliable, leak-free connections.
- Crystal-clear visibility for easy monitoring of distillate movement.
- Excellent resistance to temperature fluctuations, shock, and aggressive chemicals.
- Available in a range of joint sizes to fit standard flasks and condensers.

Handling & Precautions
- Always handle using proper glassware support; avoid applying excessive force on joints.
- Prevent sudden temperature changes—heat and cool gradually to avoid stress fractures.
- Suitable for autoclaving and dry heat up to approx. 500°C.
- Clean with mild lab detergents; avoid abrasive scrubbing tools.
- Inspect joints and the drip tip for chips or cracks before use.
- Store vertically or in padded racks to protect joint surfaces and prevent accidental damage.
Applications
This adapter is routinely used in:
- Distillation assemblies in chemistry, pharma, biotech, and industrial laboratories
- Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA) operations
- Academic teaching laboratories and research institutions
- Solvent purification, sample preparation, and organic synthesis workflows
- Anywhere precise condensate transfer and contamination-free distillate handling are required
Its vertical bend and drip-tip design support accurate distillate delivery, improving overall efficiency and reproducibility in daily lab procedures.
