Evaporation System for Laboratories

摘要

Vacuum distillation with a rotary evaporator is the most commonly used laboratory method for separating and removing a solvent from a reaction mixture. Besides the basic unit, a vacuum source and control is required. For this purpose the rotary evaporator combines the advantages of gentle evaporation with high efficiency, flexibility and an easy setup. The distillation process is normally performed under vacuum, using a vacuum controller. The vacuum and the hysteresis for the distillation are preset and the corresponding pressure depends on the used solvent, the bath and the cooling temperature.
