A distillation head for distilling a distillate from a vaporous distilland. The distillation head including a headspace chamber within a condenser surface. An inlet port having an extended portion below and to but not into the headspace, to receive the vaporous distilland and pass it into the headspace. A collection surface below the headspace to collect the distillate. And an outlet port, to receive the distillate from the collection surface and pass it out of the distillation head.

A collection device for collecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from a living biological sample is disclosed. The collection device comprises a housing defining an interior chamber and an inlet and outlet each fluidly communicating with the interior chamber. The housing is formed by an upper surface, a lower surface, and a substantially circular sidewall extending between the upper and lower surfaces. The interior chamber comprises a substantially cylindrical volume enclosed by the housing and configured to receive the living biological sample. The inlet and the outlet may extend through the upper surface and may be substantially diametrically opposed with respect to the circular sidewall. The collection device may be configured to pass fluid in a substantially laminar flow path through the inlet, across the interior chamber, and out of the outlet. At least a portion of the housing may comprise a substantially transparent material configured to transmit light therethrough.

A distillation head of embodiments of the disclosed technology has a vertical tube which extends to and partially through a fraction collector. The vertical tube is mostly filled with a distillation key which is attached to a top side of the fraction collector and extends downwards through the vertical tube without coming into contact with same. A class housing or shell surrounds the vertical tube, which in turn, surrounds the distillation key or, at least a majority of each while the vertical tube extends past an area circumscribed by the shell and the distillation key extends past an area circumscribed by the vertical tube in some embodiments of the disclosed technology.

A multi-pass distillation system has a boiling flask with a side exit portal which is functionally connected to a condenser, which is, in turn, functionally connected to one or more cold traps. The condenser condenses wet vapors into liquid while the cold traps protect a pump which is used to suction the air through the system from the boiling flask through the condenser and cold traps. In this manner, one can more accurately collect fractions by way of a sideways exit from the boiling flask, near the top of the flask, with a condenser extending into a body of the spherical flask, such as at a 45 degree angle.

The present application refers to a test-tube-type glass cylinder, with special and differentiated graduations, destined to fill the remaining volume in the compounding preparation of capsules of different sizes combined, where there is a capsule inside another capsule. The model allows the filling of the external capsule in combination with several sizes of internal capsules, allows the combination of different dosages of the same drug with different release times and solid mixtures with different particle sizes, as well as the combination of different drugs, with precision, quickly, practically and without the use of calculations.

A hand-rotatable motorized-aperture plug arrangement for use as a stopcock in articles of traditional and legacy laboratory glassware of arbitrary complexity. The hand-rotatable plug additionally comprises a longitudinally-movable gate whose gate position is changed by a stepper or D.C. electrical motor. As the gate position is changed, the amount of flow can be varied. Hand-rotation operation of the plug itself can be used to force flow turn-off. The gate position can be monitored by a sensor and can be computer-controlled for use with an article of laboratory glassware for controlling and/or directing the flow of chemical materials.

This document provides a dual flask for laboratory use, methods of using a dual flask, and systems including a dual flask. A dual flask can include a first flask structure and a second flask structure. Each flask structure can include a body and a neck. The first body and the second body in a dual flask provided herein can be connected together and have a filter there between such that fluids can be filtered between said first and second bodies.
