500ml 24/40 Glass Soxhlet Extractor Graham Coil Condenser Deschem

Description

Product Overview

The 500ml 24/40 glass Soxhlet extractor offered by Deschem is engineered for precision and durability in demanding laboratory environments. Crafted from high‑grade G3.3 borosilicate glass, the unit withstands temperatures up to 560 °C at its annealing point and remains stable well beyond typical reflux conditions. The integrated Graham coil condenser provides efficient cooling with a compact footprint, while the two flat‑bottom flasks enable simultaneous processing of multiple samples or the collection of distinct fractions without cross‑contamination. Detailed specifications include a package dimension of 14.17 × 10.23 × 7.08 inches and a weight of 3.96 lb, making the apparatus easy to handle yet robust enough for routine use. The linear coefficient of expansion (32 × 10⁻⁷ / °C) and a softening point of 820 °C further underscore the material’s resilience, ensuring long‑term performance and minimal risk of glass breakage during rapid temperature changes. Designed with laboratory ergonomics in mind, the extractor features smooth, rounded edges and a clear, transparent body that allows technicians to monitor reaction progress at a glance, reducing the need for disruptive sampling.

Usage

This Soxhlet extractor is ideally suited for a wide range of analytical and preparative applications, including the extraction of organic compounds, purification of natural products, and the recovery of valuable residues from solid matrices. In a typical workflow, the sample material is placed in the extraction chamber, and the solvent is continuously cycled through the Graham coil condenser, where it condenses and returns to the chamber, creating a closed‑loop system that maximizes extraction efficiency. The dual flat‑bottom flasks allow users to separate the extract into distinct fractions, facilitating downstream analysis such as chromatography or spectroscopic evaluation. Because the condenser operates efficiently at ambient laboratory temperatures, there is no need for additional cooling water or complex refrigeration setups, simplifying the experimental setup and reducing operational costs. The extractor’s compatibility with standard laboratory stands and clamps ensures seamless integration into existing workstations, while its chemical resistance makes it suitable for solvents ranging from non‑polar hydrocarbons to polar protic liquids. Whether employed in academic research, pharmaceutical development, or industrial quality control, the device delivers consistent, reproducible results that meet rigorous scientific standards.

FAQ

What types of solvents can be used with this extractor?

The extractor is compatible with a broad spectrum of solvents, including non‑polar hydrocarbons (e.g., hexane, petroleum ether), polar aprotic solvents (e.g., acetone, acetonitrile), and protic solvents (e.g., ethanol, methanol). The borosilicate glass construction resists chemical attack, allowing safe handling of most organic solvents commonly employed in extraction and purification protocols.

How do I clean and maintain the Graham coil condenser?

After each use, flush the condenser with a suitable cleaning solvent such as distilled water followed by a mild organic solvent like isopropanol to remove residues. Allow the unit to air‑dry completely before storage. Periodic inspection for mineral buildup or corrosion is recommended; if deposits are observed, a brief soak in a diluted acid solution (e.g., 5 % nitric acid) followed by thorough rinsing can restore optimal performance.

Can the extractor be used for high‑temperature reflux applications?

Yes. The G3.3 borosilicate glass has an annealing point of 560 °C and a softening point of 820 °C, making it suitable for reflux processes that require sustained heating up to 200 °C or higher. The robust construction minimizes the risk of glass deformation or breakage during prolonged heating cycles.

Is the unit compatible with standard laboratory clamps and stands?

Absolutely. The extractor features a universal flange and standardized mounting holes that fit most laboratory clamps, retort stands, and heating mantles. This compatibility ensures quick setup and seamless integration into existing experimental rigs without the need for custom adapters.

What warranty and after‑sales support does Deschem provide?

Deschem offers a one‑year limited warranty covering material defects and workmanship. In addition, customers receive access to a dedicated technical support line, online resources, and optional extended service contracts that include routine calibration, on‑site repairs, and priority parts replacement.
