The Short Path Distillation Head FC45 series by Summit Research is a state-of-the-art distillation head designed for high-efficiency, precision distillation. The series includes three distinct models: FC45 Nano, FC45 Shorty, and FC45 Tall. Each model offers different features based on head height, speed, and selectivity, but all are built with Summit's patented technology and premium Schott glass for maximum performance, durability, and clarity. Below is a detailed breakdown of the FC45 series.
The Short Path Distillation Head FC45 Nano (previously known as SPD-6 FC45 Nano) is designed for distillations requiring minimal rejection of material, making it ideal for processes where every fraction matters. This model features a 45/50 main bore, a 29/42 discharge, and a 24/40 thermoport.
The FC45 Nano is designed without a vigreux column, which typically increases material rejection. This feature ensures that rejection is kept to a minimum, making it ideal for precision-focused applications. The model includes a specialized head key (now included in the package) to further maximize rejection control, making it even more efficient in specific distillation tasks.
The FC45 Nano incorporates Summit Research’s patented distillation technology, which allows it to rival the speeds of wiped film distillation at a fraction of the cost. The design offers higher clarity, purity, and operational speed, making it highly efficient for short path distillation.
The Short Path Distillation Head FC45 Shorty (formerly SPD-6 FC45 Shorty) model shares many features with the Nano but includes a vigreux column, which adds an element of material rejection. This makes the Shorty a versatile choice for operations that require some level of separation and rejection without compromising speed.
With the addition of the vigreux, the Shorty balances rejection control with operational speed. Like all FC45 heads, it incorporates Summit's fraction collector technology, providing high-speed, high-potency, low-temperature distillations with unparalleled consistency.
The Short Path Distillation Head FC45 Tall (previously SPD-6 FC45 Tall) is the largest model in the FC45 series. It is designed for maximum selectivity and precise separation of materials during distillation. This model has multiple rows of vigreux for higher rejection rates and slower speeds.
The Tall model is equipped with multiple rows of vigreux to maximize the selectivity of material rejection during the distillation process. This feature makes it ideal for applications where separation accuracy is more important than operational speed.
The Tall head’s greater height and vigreux rows allow for more controlled separation, making it perfect for operations where precise fraction collection is required. Though slightly slower in operational speed, it offers unmatched purity and clarity in the final product.
Summit Research has integrated its patented fraction collector technology across the FC45 series. This technology offers operational parameters that rival wiped film distillation equipment at a fraction of the cost, providing users with superior clarity, purity, and speed in their distillation processes.
The height differences between the Nano, Shorty, and Tall models impact their performance in terms of speed, selectivity, and operational temperature:
Each model incorporates Summit’s laminar path technology and is compatible with inverted cup cold traps and hardpipe kits. These innovations enhance the overall efficiency, consistency, and clarity of distillations, ensuring smooth and reliable operations across all FC45 heads.
All FC45 models are crafted using premium Schott glass that exceeds industry standards in terms of thickness and durability. Summit Research takes pride in manufacturing its glassware in the USA, ensuring the quality, durability, and efficiency of each piece of equipment. The thicker glass construction provides added safety and resilience, ensuring reliable performance over extended periods of high-intensity use.
Summit Research highly recommends operating all FC45 models within a ventilated fume hood equipped with sufficient blast shields to prevent injury from potential glass fatigue. Though Summit builds its glassware to the highest standards, improper use or fatigue can result in glass failure, potentially leading to equipment damage, material loss, or environmental harm.
Summit is not liable for improper use or damage caused by glassware failure. Users are responsible for ensuring that they operate in a licensed, legal, and safe laboratory environment, where safety is the top priority.
The Short Path Distillation Head FC45 series is a top-tier solution for laboratories seeking high-efficiency, high-clarity distillation heads. Whether you choose the Nano for minimal rejection, the Shorty for balanced rejection and speed, or the Tall for maximum selectivity, Summit Research delivers unparalleled performance, safety, and durability in each of its products. Made with premium Schott glass and backed by innovative distillation technology, the FC45 series sets a new standard in the field of distillation equipment.
