Short path distillation heads supplied by LabChoice Australia provide efficient vapor transfer, rapid condensation and controlled fractionation for small scale distillation, purification and solvent recovery carried out in analytical, research and industrial laboratories. Manufactured from premium BORO 3.3 borosilicate glass in full compliance with ISO 3585 and ASTM E438 Type 1 Class A standards, these heads offer exceptional thermal stability, chemical resistance and structural strength during high temperature and reduced pressure operation. Their compact geometry minimises vapor path length, enabling efficient separation of volatile components while reducing sample loss.
Each short path head incorporates precision ground joints produced according to ISO 383 and ASTM E676 specifications, ensuring leak tight compatibility with boiling flasks, condensers, vacuum adapters, collection receivers and modular distillation components. The angled vapor outlet promotes smooth vapor flow into the condenser, while integrated thermowells accommodate temperature probes for accurate monitoring of distillation behaviour. The high clarity BORO 3.3 glass construction supports real time observation of vapor rise, condensation efficiency, reflux activity and fraction collection.
Short path distillation heads are widely used in essential oil production, terpene refinement, natural product purification, solvent recycling, analytical distillation, fragrance chemistry, cannabinoid research, pharmaceutical development and fine chemical processing. Their ability to operate effectively under reduced pressure makes them ideal for separating thermally sensitive compounds and achieving high purity fractions with minimal decomposition. The compact design is well suited for benchtop distillation systems and controlled heat transfer workflows.
All short path distillation heads supplied by LabChoice Australia undergo ISO 9001 aligned quality control inspection. This includes dimensional verification, joint taper conformity assessment, thermowell fit testing, clarity evaluation, stress point inspection and thermal shock testing. Each head is fully validated to meet ISO and ASTM borosilicate performance standards, as well as interchangeability requirements for ground glass joints. These rigorous quality checks ensure stable, accurate and long lasting operation in laboratories requiring precision small scale distillation apparatus.
