video begins with a small long neck round bottom flask containing a small amount of dark brown solution resting in a sand bath; the solution appears to be moving slightly, implying stirring; the flask is attached to a distillation head via a rubber connector on a metal rod; one arm of the distillation head is capped with a septum, the other has a thin Teflon tube inserted into its septum; the video pans to tube through a clump of cotton into an inverted test tube held in place by a clamp
