What Does a Rotary Evaporator Do?

What does a rotary evaporator do? The function of rotary evaporator can be concluded to the following aspects. Solvent recycling, power drying, chemical synthesis, research, solvent distillation, extraction, active agent concentration, liquid mixture separation, vacuum distillation of sensitive substances.

The rotary evaporator needs to be operated with gentle, users must follow instruction carefully when operating the rotary evaporator. And function of rotary evaporator can be fully come into play only if by following the instruction. Many people ask us about "what does a rotary evaporator do?", by using a laboratory rotary evaporator, you can find the most efficient way of removing a volatile solvent form a non-volatile sample. We can say rotary evaporator is the standard instrument in modern chemical and biology laboratory.

Evaporation rate increasing is the key of how rotary evaporator works. The function of rotary evaporator works by rotating the sample to increase effective surface area and heating the solution, as well as by reducing the pressure to lower boiling point of solvent. When you are going to operate a rotary evaporator, make sure to power on the machine at first, then adjust the glass components by using manual lift to give it sufficient space above water bath . Don't forget to see whether the temperature and water level of water bath is qualified, adjust it accordingly by adding or cooling the distilled water.

There are so many function of rotary evaporator, but users should be aware of that hazards solvents and explosions may threat the danger of operator. The explosions may be caused by concentrating unstable impurities or taking certain unstable compounds. So safety precaution measures is a must to avoid contact with cloth, hair or necklaces, safety must comes the first.

Preceding text is the function of rotary evaporator, rotovap is a good lab companion for chemists. The rotovaps of Zhengzhou Well-known Instrument Co.,Ltd have so many advantages, we are waiting for your enquiry.
