PAC introduces OptiDist2 - the next generation of atmospheric distillation

PAC, a global leader in analytical instrumentation with over 5,000 distillation instruments deployed worldwide, proudly introduces OptiDist 2, setting a new benchmark in atmospheric distillation. Built on the success of its predecessor, OptiDist 2 delivers unparalleled precision, efficiency, and reliability with its patented thermosiphon cooling system, enhanced safety features, and seamless PACe integration for optimized lab performance.

OptiDist has long been recognized for its precision in distillation, and OptiDist 2 advances that legacy with a sealed, maintenance-friendly cooling system. This ensures consistent temperature control and reduced downtime, while its dual- optimizer heater technology enables real-time adjustments for flawless distillation, even with challenging samples.

"In today’s fast-paced labs, accuracy, efficiency, and reliability are critical" said Pete Morris, President of PAC. "OptiDist 2 is a breakthrough in distillation technology, offering superior precision, lower operating costs, and seamless digital integration with PACe."

To deliver on its promise of performance, OptiDist 2 incorporates key innovations designed to optimize both

Safety and Functionality
Unmatched Cooling Performance The thermosiphon cooling system provides uniform condenser temperature control, greatly increasing reliability by reducing moving parts thereby improving lab efficiency and uptime.

Effortless Precision
The thermosiphon cooling system provides extremely even cooling action and the dual-optimizer heater system continuously adjusts heating conditions, which together ensures precise, repeatable distillation.
