a spring-loaded digestion tube retainer; sodium hydroxide and steam inlet tubes made of PTFE; built-in peristaltic pump for sodium hydroxide dispensing; borosilicate glass condenser with ventilation valve; a 0 to 15 minute adjustable timer with audible al

The RapidStill™ II serves as a companion to the rapid digestor on page 471 of the 2011-2012 catalog. Once samples have cooled from the digestion process, simply dilute with water and place sample tube on the RapidStill II. Then add sodium hydroxide by depressing the built-in dispenser switch and start the distillation process by activating the timer. Each distillation takes five to ten minutes.

Steam is generated by a 1100-watt heater surrounding a 1000-mL flask. The flow restrictor regulates condenser flow rate from exceeding 1.0 GPM (3.8 L/min).
