Description
WE5/VFA behrotest® distillation apparatus according to Markham is a laboratory distillation setup for the determination of volatile fatty acids in line with ISO 506. The five-position configuration supports structured series work when multiple samples must be processed under comparable distillation conditions. Markham-type apparatus is established for steam-distillation based isolation of volatile fatty acids prior to titration or further analytical readout, making this unit relevant for agricultural, environmental and industrial quality-control laboratories. The design focuses on controlled distillation of the volatile fraction rather than general-purpose solvent extraction. Offered under the behrotest® line from manufacturer Behr, the WE5/VFA assembly is intended as a dedicated VFA determination tool rather than a multi-purpose still. Supplied as 1 piece, it fits method-oriented benches that follow ISO 506 for volatile fatty acid analysis and require a five-place Markham distillation arrangement for reproducible sample throughput.

Questions about WE5/VFA
What is this article?
WE5/VFA is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Behr for laboratory use. It sits in Soxhlet & extraction apparatus, inside Distillation & extraction glassware, in Labware.
A Soxhlet extractor washes a solid with clean hot solvent over and over: the chamber fills, siphons, and fills again. The extractor, the flask and the condenser are sized together. The thimble holds the solid. Extractor size is given as the siphon volume.
Distillation separates liquids by boiling point. A condenser turns the vapour back into liquid: Liebig, coil and cold-finger shapes differ in how much cooling surface they offer. A still head and a column sit between the flask and the condenser. A Soxhlet extractor washes a solid again and again with the same solvent. Ground joints have a standard size, and the joint, not the flask, is what has to match. The pieces are indexed under ISO laboratory glassware.
