It's not necesary but it will make your life lot easier.

A continuous liquid liquid extractor is MUCH EASIER to use making one obsolete. Unlike a separatory funnel, it works better, it's automatic and never causes emulsions.

Can you talk about or show us this artifact please?

Here's a picture of a heavier than water CLLE (continuous liquid liquid extractor) setup with a boiling flask on the side, and a condenser at the top. Note that this kind is NOT good. You should get the kind with the shutoff valve on the return arm.

Any ideas where to find one w/ a shut-off valve?
