General Description

The Labconco RapidStill I is designed expressly for rapid, semi-automatic steam

distillation from sulfuric acid digest prepared from nitrogen-bearing materials

such as feeds, grains, soils, plant tissue, water effluent, organic waste food

products, etc. Sample digestions are accomplished utilizing either Labconco’s

Digestion Apparatus or Rapid Digestor units.

Performance

Your Labconco RapidStill I has been designed to accept digested samples up to

4 ml (maximum) equivalent of concentrated acid, and is capable of giving

reproducible results in ranges as low as 10 micrograms (gamma) #1% nitrogen.

The RapidStill I may also be utilized for other steam distillations that DO NOT

exceed the volume limitations of the units mixing chamber (approximately 50 to

55 ml).

Component Identification

(1) Power Switch Switches power to the Heater. When ideal Heat Control

setting is achieved, use this switch to turn Heater ON and OFF.

(2) Heat Control The electric immersion heater provides fast, efficient heat.

Steam generation starts very rapidly from a cold start. Control input to the

heater and steam output by adjusting this knob.

(3) Fill Valve The Fill Valve is opened only when filling Boiling Flask. Use

distilled water from the Water Bottle to keep water level in the steam

reservoir approximately 2/3 full during distillation.

(4) Aspirator Stopcock The unit has a built-in glass aspirator to purge spent

samples after determination. The water used for cooling of this condenser

is also used for aspirating. A twist of the Aspirator Stopcock draws the

sample and rinse water down the drain.

(5) Sample Addition Funnel Use this funnel to transfer digested sample to

the Mixing Chamber.

(6) Sample Addition Stopcock The upper PTFE stopcock that allows for

the addition of samples or pH controlling solutions.

(7) Mixing Chamber The inner bulb in the lower portion of the still where

the sample is mixed with appropriate solutions during the distillation.

(8) Cooling Water Connections Note the two barbed fittings extending

through the back of the housing. Connect the “IN” fitting to a cold water

source and the “OUT” fitting to a drain.

(9) Condenser Cold water flows through the outer wall of the tall column to

condense steam.

(10) Boiling Flask The round flask reservoir which contains distilled water to

be heated during the distillation.

(11) Flask Shelf Shelf is adjustable in height. Positioning the flask is

important to maintain relationship between the condenser outlet and liquid

level in the Receiving Flask.

(12) Heater Heater is energized when there is sufficient water in the Boiling

Flask. Heater may be unplugged from the housing if required.

(13) Water Bottle Use distilled water only in the still. Water Bottle is

squeezed to introduce water to the Boing Flask via the Fill Valve.

Your RapidStill I has been shipped to you in one carton. When unpacking, remove

the packing material carefully, checking all material for two separately packed

parts. The carton will contain:

Base Housing

Glass Still

Heater

Stainless Steel Flask Shelf

“U” Clamp (large) (1)

“U” Clamp (small) (2)

Clamp Nuts (6)

Fill Valve and Tube

Pinch Clamps (2)

Power Cord

NOTE: Plastic tubing and valve for connection of the condenser to water and drain

source is NOT included.

Inspect this material thoroughly prior to installation and report any damage that

may have occurred in transit.

Installation Set Up

Assembly

(1) Lay the Base Housing on its back and position the Glass Still assembly on

the console, as shown. Do not connect to electrical power source until set

up is complete.

Chapter 2: Installation

Product Service 1-800-522-7658

(2) Starting with the large U-clamp, place both the large and small U-clamps

around the glassware and through the brackets. Gently tighten the clamp

nuts so that the glassware is firmly held to the Base Housing.

(3) Carefully attach the condensing water tubing to the glass barb fittings. Do

not add clamps or any lubricant (other than water) to these connections.

Turn Base Housing upright.

(4) Locate the RapidStill I where there is convenient 115 volt outlet and

accessibility to cold tap water and drain.

Chapter 2: Installation

Product Service 1-800-522-7658

(5) Obtain several lengths of flexible plastic or silicone tubing (3/8" ID x 1/16"

wall). Tubing IS NOT furnished with the unit and may be obtained from

laboratory supply dealers. Connect tubing from the rear of the housing to a

drain or sink for effluent. Connect tubing for the inlet from the rear of the

housing to a cold water source (<25oC) with fine flow control through a

valve or faucet. Two pinch clamps have been provided. Check for leaks.

(6) Keep power OFF. Insert the heater element into the Boiling Flask and press

the stopper into the Flask opening firmly. Heater should not be in contact

with any of the glass. NOTE: This must be sealed for distillation. Plug the

Heater into the Base Housing connector.
