Steam Distillation Kit - 2,000 Milliliters Made of Borosilicate

The 2L Steam Distillation Kit is a laboratory glassware system built around borosilicate components for compatible steam-distillation workflows. The published kit configuration includes a 2000 mL two-neck boiling flask, 2000 mL filling flask, electric heating stove, metal support stand, clamps, and related accessories. A separate Steam Generator Add On is also listed as a product option.

Steam distillation uses generated vapor and a cooling/collection arrangement to separate volatile components from compatible source material. Results depend on the material being processed, apparatus configuration, heating rate, coolant conditions, collection method, and operating technique. The 2L Steam Distillation Kit should not be assumed to guarantee a particular yield, purity, recovery percentage, or processing rate.

Borosilicate glass provides useful thermal characteristics for laboratory apparatus, but all components should be inspected before assembly. Check flasks, joints, condenser sections, and adapters for chips, cracks, deep scratches, or damaged sealing surfaces. Confirm that each joint and accessory fits correctly, support the glassware with the supplied or otherwise appropriate hardware, and avoid creating a closed system in which pressure can build unexpectedly.

When using electrical heating equipment, keep cords and connections away from liquid, follow the equipment rating and operating instructions, and use appropriate ventilation and personal protective equipment for the materials involved. Coolant tubing should be secured so it cannot pull on glass hose connections.
