Welcome to B/R Instruments

The 36-100 mini fractional distillation system is designed for difficult separations for samples in the 100-1000 ml range

High Efficiency

This mini distillation system has up to 200 theoretical plates at atmospheric pressure. The very high number of theoretical plates allows it to produce extremely high purity materials and making difficult separations on small sample sizes.

Customized for your Application

The 36-100 mini distillation system can be configured according to your needs. Automation, vacuum systems, fraction collectors and other accessories can be integrated into the mini distillation system as needed. The result is a distillation apparatus customized to your specific needs.

Easy to use

The distillation process is fully automated from beginning to end, minimizing the time needed to operate the equipment. Easy programming of parameters makes you feel like a distillation expert. Heating, collecting of distillate and shut down of equipment at completion are all done automatically. Optional control from a PC.

Common applications include:

• Crude Oil Distillation
• Petroleum Distillation
• Biodiesel Distillation
• High Purity Fractional Distillation
• Essential Oil Purification
• Vacuum Distillation
• Research Applications
