Rotary Evaporator: Assembly and Basic Operation

Offered the 3rd Saturday of each month

 

In this class we will walk you through the assembly and basic operations of the rotary evaporator. Classes will be taught on a table top 5L rotary evaporator but all of the knowledge, method and parts translate to systems as large as 50 Liters in size. These systems are the ideal choice for lab scale to small production solvent recovery processes. Learn not only how to operate and assemble the machine but also about the different styles and options in equipment that are out there and how they differ from one another.
