What is a Rotary evaporator?

A rotary evaporator is a type of vacuum distillation unit. The solvent can be removed efficiently by rotating the sample solution under reduced pressure. It is widely used in laboratories such as universities and R & D departments of private companies because it is easy to operate and can be used to remove a wide range of solvents. On the other hand, depending on the heating temperature of the sample solution and the degree of decompression, the sample solution may suddenly boil, and the weight of the sample solution may damage the glass at the connection part. It is necessary to check the boiling point and check the equipment used for scratches and cracks.

Application of Rotary evaporator

A rotary evaporator is a type of vacuum distillation unit. It is a device used to concentrate the target component dissolved in the solution, and it is often used in laboratories where synthetic experiments are conducted because it can evaporate high boiling point solvents by increasing the degree of decompression and heating temperature. increase. Distillation using a rotary evaporator is one of the basic operations of synthetic experiments, so it is often used not only in university laboratories but also in undergraduate chemistry experiments. In addition, it is used on a daily basis in the research and development departments of various private companies such as chemical, polymer, and textile manufacturers.
