The MEDILAB Pear-Shaped Vertical Splash Head Adapter is a precision-designed distillation accessory that prevents liquid splashing and contamination during heating and boiling processes. Its vertical pear-shaped chamber efficiently traps droplets, ensuring clean vapour transfer and improved distillation purity. This adapter is essential in laboratories where accuracy, sample integrity, and reliable separation are critical.

Key Features

• High-quality Borosilicate Glass 3.3 construction for excellent thermal and chemical resistance
• Pear-shaped vertical design effectively minimizes splash carryover during distillation
• Smooth vapor pathway ensures consistent flow and reduced sample loss
• The upper cone is designed to connect seamlessly to a condenser
• Lower cone fits securely onto round-bottom flasks or reaction vessels
• Precision-ground standard taper joints ensure tight, leakproof connections
• Superior clarity for full visibility of distillation behavior and vapor flow
• Stress-annealed for long-term durability and repeated reuse

Handling & Precautions

• Inspect for cracks or chips before each use
• Do not expose the glass to sudden temperature changes; heat and cool gradually
• Clean using mild laboratory detergents; avoid abrasives
• Autoclavable at standard sterilization temperatures (up to 121°C)
• Handle with insulated gloves when used in heated distillation setups
• Do not apply an open flame directly unless the glassware is specifically flame-rated
• Store upright or in padded racks to avoid mechanical damage

Applications

• Ideal for distillation, purification, and solvent recovery systems

Prevents sample loss and contamination in:

• Pharmaceutical R&D
• Chemical synthesis laboratories
• Biotechnology and life-science labs
• University teaching and research labs
• Analytical, QC/QA, and process development facilities

• Ensures reliable vapor transfer in daily laboratory workflows requiring high-purity distillates
