West Condenser BORO 3.3 for Efficient Reflux Cooling

West condenser are engineered for dependable vapour cooling in reflux and distillation applications, using a straight inner tube surrounded by a precision-formed cooling jacket that promotes smooth, efficient condensation. The narrow annular jacket ensures consistent coolant flow, allowing rapid heat transfer even during extended reactions. This design provides stable reflux performance for both low-boiling and high-boiling solvents, making the West condenser ideal for general organic synthesis workflows where controlled and predictable cooling is essential.

Manufactured from high-clarity BORO 3.3 borosilicate glass, West condensers supplied by LabChoice Australia offer excellent resistance to sudden temperature changes, aggressive chemicals and repeated heating and cooling cycles. The glass composition complies with ISO 3585 (Borosilicate Glass 3.3) and ASTM E438 Type I, Class A specifications, ensuring low thermal expansion, long-term durability and exceptional chemical purity. The internal straight-tube design promotes unobstructed vapour flow and efficient condensate return, supporting cleaner distillation profiles and more reproducible reflux behaviour in demanding laboratory environments.

Every condenser is fitted with precision-ground interchangeable joints for seamless compatibility with standard laboratory glassware, including round-bottom flasks, adapters, Soxhlet extractors and distillation receivers. Its efficient jacketed cooling channel works effectively with tap water or recirculating chillers, helping reduce water usage while maintaining strong cooling capacity. The reliable performance of the West condenser makes it a staple in Australian university teaching labs, chemical research laboratories, pharmaceutical synthesis facilities, and industrial R&D settings that require stable temperature control across long operating periods.

LabChoice Australia supplies West condensers in multiple lengths and joint sizes to accommodate a wide range of reflux and distillation setups, ensuring dependable operation, consistent heat-exchange efficiency, and long service life. The combination of BORO 3.3 compliance, ISO and ASTM certification, and precision manufacturing provides researchers with confidence in their cooling equipment, delivering smooth, predictable reflux control across all routine and advanced chemistry applications.
