Mayalab Instrument

MAYALAB Hydro Distillation Essential Oil Apparatus is a laboratory setup designed for the extraction of essential oils from plant materials using the hydro-distillation method. It is widely used in research laboratories, aromatherapy studies, herbal medicine processing, and natural product industries.

In hydro-distillation, the plant material is immersed directly in water and boiled. The steam carrying the volatile essential oils passes through a condenser, where it cools down and forms a liquid mixture of water and oil. Since essential oils are immiscible with water, they separate easily and are collected.

• Boiling Vessel / Round Bottom Flask – For holding water and plant material.

• Heating Source – Electric heating mantle or water bath for controlled heating.

• Condenser – Typically a Liebig or Allihn condenser to cool steam into liquid.

• Oil Separator (Florentine Flask / Clevenger Apparatus) – For separating essential oil from water.

• Receiver Flask – Collects the final distilled mixture.

• Made from high-quality borosilicate glass for durability and resistance to heat.

• Available in various capacities (1L, 2L, 5L, 10L, and above).

• Easy assembly and cleaning for repeated use.

• Ensures efficient extraction of essential oils with minimal loss.

• Suitable for both educational demonstrations and industrial small-scale production.

• Extraction of essential oils from flowers, leaves, seeds, and roots.

• Used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, aromatherapy, perfumery, and herbal research.

• Teaching and demonstration purposes in colleges and research institutions.

The Essential Oil Determination Apparatus is a specialized laboratory device used to extract and quantify volatile oils (essential oils) present in plant materials. It operates on the principle of hydrodistillation, as described in official pharmacopoeias (e.g., IP, BP, USP).

This apparatus typically consists of:

• Distillation Flask: Holds the sample and water for boiling.

• Condenser: Cools the vapor, causing it to condense back into liquid form.

• Receiver with Oil Separator (Clevenger-type): Collects the distillate and separates the essential oil from water based on density.

• Glass Construction: Made from high-quality, heat-resistant borosilicate glass.

• Accurate Measurement: Graduated oil separator allows precise determination of oil content.

• Easy Operation: Simple setup for routine analysis of herbs, spices, and aromatic plants.

• Capacity: Available in various flask capacities (e.g., 250 mL, 500 mL, 1000 mL).

• Standard Design: Often follows the Clevenger or Marcusson-type model.

• Determination of essential oil yield in pharmacognosy and quality control labs.

• Research in herbal, aromatic, and perfumery industries.

• Educational demonstrations in botany and chemistry labs.
