Quality Checks and Thorough Cleaning

We thoroughly check the functionality of all motorized lifts, digital vacuum controllers, and displays. Additionally, we replace any necessary hardware or parts and clean all rotary evaporators and glassware before shipment. However, lower costs do not imply lower quality. Our technicians test each rotary evaporator to ensure they are in good working order and that all glassware is intact.

Detailed Testing Procedures

We not only inspect the motor unit that rotates the evaporation flask but also assemble the glassware and run the system with a vacuum pump (sold separately). Furthermore, we test the water baths to confirm they heat and control temperature accurately. If the system includes a motorized lift, we check its functionality alongside any digital vacuum controllers or displays.

Understanding Rotary Evaporation

Rotary evaporation reduces solvent volume by spreading it as a thin film across the vessel's interior at elevated temperature and reduced pressure. This process promotes the rapid removal of excess solvent from less volatile samples. It is often used to separate low-boiling solvents, such as ethyl acetate or n-hexane, from compounds. With careful application, rotary evaporation can effectively remove solvent from samples containing liquid compounds when there is a significant difference in boiling points.

Wide Range of Brands and Models

We stock several brands, including Buchi, Heidolph, and Labconco rotary evaporators. While most units are laboratory and research scale models, we also have large-capacity industrial rotovap models, such as the Buchi R-153.
