Description
The Across International SolventVap 5L Rotary Evaporator is a professional laboratory rotovap system designed for efficient solvent evaporation, distillation, and concentration in research and production environments. ETL tested to UL and CSA safety standards, the SolventVap 5L provides reliable performance and enhanced safety for laboratories that require certified equipment.
This system features a motorized lifting water bath, vertical cold trap condenser, and digital temperature and rotation controls for precise evaporation performance. The optimized heating bath design allows for rapid heat-up and consistent temperature stability, while the rotating flask system creates a thin liquid film that significantly increases evaporation efficiency.
The vertical cold trap condenser allows the system to operate using dry ice for condensation, eliminating the need for a recirculating chiller and simplifying laboratory setup.
Constructed with high borosilicate glass 3.3 and solvent-resistant PTFE valves and Viton gaskets, the SolventVap 5L is engineered for long-term durability in demanding laboratory environments.
