New Dean Stark glass apparatus for the analysis of organic samples
The Dean-Stark apparatus is a fundamental tool in chemistry, designed for the separation of liquids that form azeotropes. Its configuration facilitates the efficient collection of immiscible liquids during distillation, making it invaluable for the purification of organic compounds and the removal of water from organic substances.
Scharlau by Afora has re-engineered this classic glass apparatus with a novel design tailored for the precise extraction of trace quantities of water or other immiscible liquids from organic samples. This innovative model, featuring a multicollector system, offers enhanced flexibility and versatility by accommodating different sample volumes with a single headpiece.
Advantages of the Dean Stark apparatus:
1. Safety Joints, threaded Socket:
- The Dean-Stark apparatus is designed for easy disassembly, which simplifies cleaning and maintenance.
- The use of threaded socket joints allows for swift transitions between experiments with varying sample volumes.
- High-Quality Material:
- Manufactured from borosilicate glass 3.3, it offers superior resistance to corrosive chemicals and high temperatures, ensuring long-term durability and reliable performance.
- Adaptability to Different Volumes:
- The modular design enables the selection and combination of components to suit different collection tubes, providing application flexibility and optimizing resource utilization.
- Efficiency in Extraction:
- The specialized design of the Dean-Stark collector tube enhances the efficiency of immiscible liquid extraction, ensuring the effective separation of the desired components from the sample matrix.
- Precision in Measurements:
- Graduations on the collecting tube allow for precise measurement of collected liquid volumes, thereby improving the accuracy of results and the reproducibility of experiments.
Typical Applications of the Dean Stark apparatus:
- Determination of water content in oils and fats.
- Analysis of water content in organic chemical samples.
- Extraction of immiscible components from organic samples.
