Dean stark with single ptfe stopcock

Product Description

A Dean-Stark apparatus with a single PTFE stopcock is a laboratory setup used for the azeotropic distillation of liquids to measure water content in a sample or to remove water from a reaction mixture. It typically consists of the following components:

Key Components:

1. Dean-Stark Trap:

   • A glass tube with a calibrated section for measuring collected water.
   • The trap collects water while allowing organic solvents to return to the distillation flask.

2. PTFE Stopcock:

   • A single PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) stopcock is included at the bottom of the trap to drain the collected water.
   • PTFE is chemically resistant and prevents leaks, ensuring precision.
