Quick answer: A Liebig Condenser has a straight inner tube for efficient vapor condensation, making it a standard, simple condenser for distillation and solvent recovery in a chemistry laboratory. Condenser, Liebig (Sampling) is priced at approximately ₹510 (indicative market benchmark, incl. GST, August 2026).
A Liebig condenser is the classic, simplest style of condenser, with a straight inner tube surrounded by an outer jacket through which cooling water flows. As hot vapor passes through the straight inner tube, it’s cooled by the surrounding water jacket and condenses back into liquid, which is collected downstream. This sampling version is designed for straightforward vapor condensation and sample collection during distillation. It’s one of the most widely used pieces of glassware in college and research chemistry laboratories, valued for its simplicity and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Liebig condenser used for?
It’s used for general vapor condensation in distillation and solvent recovery, using a straight inner tube cooled by an outer water jacket.
What length and joint size does this condenser have?
These have not been independently verified for this listing — confirm with STEMAids before ordering.
How does this differ from an Allihn or Graham condenser?
A Liebig condenser has a plain straight inner tube, while Allihn and Graham condensers use bulbous or coiled inner tubes for more surface area — Liebig is the simplest, most common style.
Is this suitable for a college chemistry teaching lab?
Yes — Liebig condensers are among the most widely used pieces of equipment in distillation practicals in chemistry coursework.
Does STEMAids supply matching distillation flasks and receivers?
Contact STEMAids to confirm compatible components for a complete distillation setup.
Is STEMAids a registered manufacturer of this product?
Yes. Eduscope Smart Learning Solutions Private Limited is a Udyam-registered micro manufacturing enterprise (UDYAM-DL-06-0069460) and is ISO 9001:2015 certified. See the About page for full registration and certification details — manufacturer-stated, verify before citing in procurement documents.
