Kimble Chase Midi-Vap 4000 distillation system

The Kimble Chase Midi-Vap 4000 distillation system for regulatory water analysis features a digital controller that adds reliable, walk-away operation capabilities to the compact system.

The system enables precision and repeatability to distillation methods required by the US EPA for water analysis. The system is devoted to rapid and repeatable isolation by distillation of ammonia, phenols and cyanide from water samples.

The distillation system is designed to accommodate US EPA standard test methods for analysis of environmental and wastewater samples. The system employs a Watlow digital controller with temperature presets at 126°C for cyanide distillations and 165°C for ammonia and phenols. Temperature programming is simplified with the easy-to-read LED display, which includes an amber light to indicate heating in progress. Easy-to-adjust needle valves provide accurate control.

The system has a rapid-heating, 10-position manifold heater block that is sealed with PTFE gaskets to prevent spills from entering the interior. Depending on the desired analyte, analysts select glassware sets for cyanide, or ammonia and phenol distillations. The compact unit can be easily used under a fume hood as it requires minimal space. Distillations are performed with only 50 mL of sample - reducing the volumes of both reagents and waste.

The system is CSA certified, CE marked and UL approved.
