  • Inline distribution adapter (swing arm/primary collection) valve with vacuum release for unlimited fraction collection
  • Distribution receiver (secondary collection) valve with vacuum release for unlimited fraction collection

G3 Improvements & Features

• Fully peer-reviewed system with certifications on electrical parts
• Single head, full-bore configuration for each system – promotes molecular flow, reduces operating temperature, and gives users increased ease-of-use compared to multi-head configurations
• Custom-cut ground glass drip tips – eliminate grease contamination and allow distillate to drip directly into the receiving flask
• All collection joints have been increased to 29/42 (29 mm) – to reduce potential clogging
• Condenser length has been extended for increased surface area and to accommodate larger collection flasks
• Improved heating mantle system with digital temperature and stir control
• Dual Temperature Monitoring allows the user to monitor temperature from two separate areas on the system such as the distillation head and cold trap, which improves thermal efficiency throughout the system, and allows for more producibility between runs
• Integrated supports built into each mantle – to make setup easy
• Full lattice rack included with each kit
• Reinforced mantle base – increases stability, dampens vibration, and provides better alignment for the whole system
• Improved glassware connections – utilizing ground glass joint to KF25 adapters for maximum vacuum capability and leak reduction
• Pinched thermocouple adapters for easy removal
• 1 year EliteLab® subscription included with each kit

G3X Improvements & Features

G3X kits include all of the improvements and features of the G3 kits as well as the following:

• Angled vacuum take-off valves – for both the swingarm and secondary collection port which allows for isolation from the rest of the system as well as unlimited fraction collection
• Secondary, liquid-cooled “cold finger” condenser – for greater condensation efficiency
• Jacketless primary condenser – for increased flow; keeps volatiles in vapor state for collection away from the main body fraction

G3X-R Improvements & Features

The 20L G3X-R system is fastest benchtop distillation system to date.  Featuring a 150mm reactor flanged distillation head with a 100mm-wide fractionating column, this system has the ability to perform sustained distillation speeds of 4.5 liters per hour (LPH) discharge during the main body fraction.  The distillation head, DH-150HE is built upon patented high-efficiency distillation head technology.  

High-efficiency distillation heads operate off of the principle of rapid pressure drop, or pre-condensation of vapors within the distillation head itself prior to exit to the attached condenser.  The head features a vacuum-jacketed silver section above the flange connection which efficiently retains heat, thus reducing boiling flask temperatures required to reach desired distillation temperatures.  The separation of this silvered section of the head and the top, unjacketed and non-silvered section creates a large temperature variance, triggering condensation and pressure drop.  Having this “pre-condenser” in the top of the distillation head reduces the need for additional wattage of heating to the boiling flask as well as the wattage needed to cool the condenser – thus the high-efficiency terminology.  Further improvements to the heating efficiency of this system include an insulating jacket that covers the area from the top mantle to the silvered section of the head, retaining precious heat below the condensation point.

The 20L G3X-R kit is built upon the G3X platform, which includes valved discharge points on the primary and secondary receivers for the ability to switch collection flasks during live operation.  The kit also includes two (2) distillation head inserts: an evacuated, Vigreux-indented insert and a temperature-controllable fluid-filled finger insert.  These inserts provide extra surface area within the fractionating column, which allows users to utilize various reflux ratios to separate compounds as they choose.  Additionally, G3X systems include a primary/secondary condenser setup, giving users the ability to run jacketless condensers or hot condensers for additional separation. The liquid-cooled secondary condenser (LS-A90-VC45) replaces the air condenser on previous full bore systems, providing more surface area and the ability to cool the finger to a desired temperature.
