Description
A flat bottom boiling flask is an essential piece of laboratory glassware designed for efficient and safe solvent heating, particularly in Soxhlet extraction systems using ethanol. Its thoughtfully engineered structure provides excellent stability on stirring hotplates while ensuring uniform heat distribution throughout the solvent. The flask’s spherical body promotes even thermal transfer, allowing ethanol to boil smoothly and generate consistent vapor flow into the Soxhlet extractor and condenser.
Equipped with a precision ground glass joint, the flask forms a secure, vapor-tight seal with the extraction apparatus, minimizing solvent loss and enhancing safety when working with volatile and flammable liquids. The flat base allows for effective magnetic stirring, reducing the risk of bumping and ensuring controlled boiling. These combined features make the flat bottom boiling flask a reliable and preferred choice for continuous extraction processes in analytical and preparative laboratories.
