Spare receivers for Dean and Stark apparatus supplied by LabChoice Australia are designed to provide accurate measurement and reliable collection of immiscible liquid phases during azeotropic distillation. Manufactured from high quality BORO 3.3 borosilicate glass compliant with ISO 3585 and ASTM E438 Type 1 Class A standards, each receiver offers excellent thermal resistance, strong chemical durability and precise dimensional accuracy. These characteristics allow the receiver to maintain stability during repeated heating cycles and exposure to organic solvents commonly used in Dean and Stark procedures.
The calibrated design of the receiver enables precise volume measurement of separated water or organic phases, supporting accurate determination of moisture content in oils, polymers, resins and other materials. The clear BORO 3.3 construction provides unobstructed visibility of phase separation, meniscus alignment and condensate behaviour, allowing technicians to monitor the distillation progress with confidence. Uniform internal geometry helps maintain smooth condensate flow from the condenser into the receiver during azeotropic reflux.
Spare receivers are commonly required in analytical laboratories, polymer research, essential oil analysis, petrochemical testing and industrial quality control facilities. They allow laboratories to maintain continuous workflow by replacing worn or damaged receivers without interrupting established distillation setups. The compatibility of LabChoice receivers with standard Dean and Stark stillheads and condensers ensures seamless integration into existing apparatus assemblies.
Each spare receiver undergoes ISO 9001 aligned quality control testing that includes dimensional verification, calibration accuracy checks, clarity inspection and evaluation of joint integrity. Vacuum capable units are assessed for pressure retention using gauges traceable to recognised metrology standards. Every receiver is reviewed for structural strength, uniform wall thickness and smooth surface finish before packing, ensuring reliable performance in demanding laboratory environments.
