This laboratory glassware set makes an excellent organic chemistry vacuum distillation kit. Beginners and expert scientists alike will save time and money with this simple vacuum distillation set!

What does "distill" mean?

Distilling a liquid consists of three steps: 1) purifying it by vaporizing it, 2) condensing it by cooling the vapor, and 3) collecting the resulting liquid. As one example of application, essential oils are created through a process called steam distillation.
