Rotary Evaporator Overview

The Refurbished Buchi Rotary Evaporator R-II is a widely used laboratory instrument designed for solvent removal, distillation, and sample concentration. It is especially useful in chemical, pharmaceutical, and research laboratories where precise evaporation under controlled temperature and vacuum conditions is required.

This system uses a rotating flask mechanism combined with a heated water bath and condenser unit to efficiently evaporate solvents while minimizing thermal degradation of sensitive samples.

Working Principle

A Rotary Evaporator works on the principle of:

• Reduced pressure (vacuum)
• Controlled heating
• Rotational motion

Process:

Sample is placed in a rotating flask
Rotation increases surface area for evaporation
Water bath provides controlled heat
Vacuum lowers boiling point
Vapors condense in condenser
Solvent is collected in receiving flask

This ensures fast and efficient solvent removal.
