Distilling bulb inside the glass air-bath oven, receiving bulb outside cooled with ice or dry ice, bulbs turned by the drive under vacuum. University.

## What the template shows

- Bulb-to-bulb short-path distillation of small amounts of high-boiling or sensitive liquids under vacuum
- Glass oven (air bath)
- Heats the distilling bulb evenly; raise the temperature slowly
- Distilling bulb
- Sample no more than a third full
- Set dial
- Oven temperature, here 150 °C
- Receiving bulb
- Outside the oven, dipped in ice water (or packed with dry ice) so the vapour condenses at once
- Drive unit
- Turns or rocks the bulbs so the liquid does not bump; the vacuum enters through its hollow shaft
- Pump with a cold trap; evacuate before heating
- Reaction setup

Drawn with 11 shapes – every one editable in MolDraw.
