Zero holdup, no-splash short path still for small quantity distillations with the accuracy of larger setups. Improved design eliminates even the minimal holdup experienced with original short path stills by further reducing wetted surfaces and travel paths. The Splash Guard gives best protection against pot splash up. Former 7/12 thermometer joint has been redesigned as a larger, 10/18 joint to accommodate 8294 series non-mercury thermometers using 8299-10 adapter.
