A distillation apparatus, commonly called a 'still', consists of a vessel for plant material and water, a condenser to cool and condense the vapour produced, and a method of collection, or 'receiver'. Material from the relevant part of the plant is immersed in water in the distillation vessel. This is heated to boiling point and the steam carries out the volatile oils. The water protects some components by preventing overheating, since the temperature will not exceed 100°C (the boiling point of water at normal pressure), though distillation can be a long process, and the water may affect some other compounds.

  • Glass: Borosilicate Glass
