The working principle of the laboratory rotary evaporator is based on the principles of evaporation and condensation in physics. Under the combined action of heating and rotation, the solvent inside the evaporation bottle gradually heats up and evaporates into steam. The steam is cooled and re condensed into liquid in the condenser, and then flows into the collection bottle. At the same time, the vacuum system continuously extracts air from the system, reducing the pressure inside the system, allowing the solvent to reach its boiling point and evaporate rapidly at lower temperatures.

matters needing attention

The rotary evaporator should be operated in a fume hood to avoid harm to experimental personnel caused by solvent vapor.

During the operation, safety should be taken into account to avoid potential hazards caused by high temperature and vacuum.

Regularly maintain and upkeep the equipment to ensure its normal operation and extend its service life.
