TL;DR Summary
Soxhlet extractor kit shopping
Hello.
I have an interest in aquiring a soxhlet extractor glassware kit for experimentation and learning.
Something small like with a 250ml flask.
Not sure what geometry of condenser to go for, Graham Allihn, straight or else.
I will be using dichloromethane as a solvent and would like to know if it is suitable across any condenser type or there are issues with some condenser geometries.
What lenght of the condenser would be proper for dichloromethane?

For a low boiling solvent like DCM, I’d consider a dry ice condenser.
