The all-glass construction ensures chemical compatibility, and the modular design allows for controlled and observable extraction. Its effectiveness is widely recognized in chemical laboratories for qualitative and quantitative analysis of plant essential oils.
Complete and Practical AssemblyProvided as a comprehensive assemblyconsisting of a round bottom flask, Liebig condenser, oil receiver, collection tube, and related tubingthis apparatus is ready for immediate integration into laboratory workflows. Each component is manufactured to facilitate thorough distillation, collection, and measurement of extracted oils.
Effortless Maintenance and CleaningAll parts of the apparatus can be easily disassembled, allowing for straightforward cleaning and maintenance. The absence of fixed accessories simplifies handling, reducing contamination risk between uses and ensuring optimum performance in repetitive laboratory procedures.
FAQs of Essential Oil Determination Apparatus (Clevenger Type):
Q: How does the Essential Oil Determination Apparatus (Clevenger Type) operate?
A: This apparatus operates using hydrodistillation to extract essential oils from plant material. Plant matter and water are heated in the round bottom flask; vapor passes through the Liebig condenser, condenses, and separates in the receiver, where the oil is measured.
Q: What parts are included in the Clevenger-type apparatus assembly?
A: The assembly comprises a round bottom flask, a Liebig condenser, an oil receiver, a collection tube, and delivery tubes. These glass components are specifically designed for efficient oil extraction and measurement.
Q: When should the Clevenger apparatus be used in a laboratory?
A: It is used when qualitative and quantitative analysis of essential oils is requiredcommonly in research labs, quality control, and educational settings focusing on plant-based investigations or oil yield studies.
Q: Where should the apparatus be mounted for best results?
A: For stable and safe operation, the apparatus should be mounted on a laboratory stand or secured with a retort clamp. This ensures proper alignment during distillation and prevents accidental spills.
Q: What is the benefit of its all-glass construction?
A: The transparent glass material provides high chemical resistance, prevents unwanted chemical interactions, and allows users to clearly observe the distillation and oil separation process in real time.
Q: How should the apparatus be cleaned after use?
A: All parts can be disassembled for cleaning. Rinse thoroughly with appropriate solvents and allow to dry before reassembly. This minimizes cross-contamination for subsequent extractions.
