Rotovap: Rotary Evaporator Like New

The device shown is a rotary evaporator, often called a rotovap, used for the efficient removal of solvents from samples via evaporation. Key features and functions include: Evaporation: It gently removes solvents from a sample using rotation, heat, and vacuum. Components: It includes a motor for rotating the sample flask, a heating bath, a condenser, and a vacuum system. Process: The rotating flask creates a thin film, which facilitates rapid evaporation under reduced pressure and controlled temperature. Applications: It is used for separating and concentrating molecules, extracting essential oils, and purifying substances. Solvent Recovery: It allows for the collection and reuse of solvents. Operation: It can be operated manually or automatically, depending on the model, with controls for temperature, rotation speed, and vacuum level. Safety and Convenience: Modern models emphasize safety, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness, often featuring automatic lift functions. Types: Various models exist, including pilot-scale versions for industrial applications and standard laboratory units.
