Steam distillation unit. Compact steam generator with overtemperature safety thermostat and overpressure protection switch. Safety door prevents distillation with the door open. Digestion/distillation tube presence detection. This device prevents NaOH dosing if the tube is not present. Universal adapter for MACRO (Ø 42 mm) and MICRO (Ø 26 mm) digestion/distillation tubes. Space-saving in the laboratory: The H2O, NaOH, and H3BO3 tanks are housed inside the unit. Digestion/distillation tube emptying system. Stainless steel frame and ABS plastic front panel.
