We’re digging through the archives here at Pope! We have so much history in scientific #glassblowing, #wipedfilm #distillation, and custom #scientific processing equipment. It’s a treat to dig through some of our vintage ads, literature and photos of our old facility.

Want to see more of our Pope vintage?
It is with deep sorrow that we share our beloved colleague Brian Schroeder has passed. Brian was a wonderful co-worker and dear friend to many at Pope during his 18 years with us. Brian fought a good fight for the last 13 months as he battled Leukemia. We want to pay tribute to Brian as we regard him for his determination, dedication, and of course, his humor. For those outside of Pope who had the pleasure of working with Brian, you know what a tremendous loss this is.
Brian will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.

What it is: Pope's Hybrid Distillation equipment combines short-duration, high vacuum wiped-film evaporation with efficient column fractionation.
Results: Increased purity, yield and value of your products to levels not previously possible!
Customized Hybrid Fractionating Column systems expertly combine the multi-plate efficiency of fractional columns with the gentle reboiling effect of Wiped-Film Evaporators. This proven Hybrid technology excels in the purification of heat-sensitive materials that are similar in volatility and would be challenging to separate using conventional methods. Available in glass, stainless steel, or alternative alloys, these systems can be configured from lab to pilot plant skid systems, and up to full production process scales. Pope designs and builds these multi-component systems specifically tailored to your application and desired results, ensuring precision and efficiency.
