Rotary Evaporators

Rotary evaporators are essential laboratory instruments used for the efficient and gentle removal of solvents from samples through evaporation. The system consists of a rotating flask, which increases the surface area of the liquid and facilitates faster evaporation, while a vacuum system lowers the boiling point of the solvent, enhancing the efficiency of the process. Typically used in chemistry and biochemistry labs, rotary evaporators are ideal for concentrating solutions, recovering solvents, and purifying compounds. Their precise temperature control and adjustable rotation speed allow researchers to optimise the evaporation process for various applications. With features such as automatic shut-off and solvent collection flasks, rotary evaporators enhance laboratory safety and streamline workflows, making them indispensable tools for many scientific investigations.
