    After 1.5 years of use, I thought it would be interesting to review the RE-501 Chinese rotary evaporator (rotavap) that we purchased. This model is super cheap and we had our reservations upon purchasing the instrument, but everything has worked out pretty well for us and I thought I would share my experience. It is used virtually every work day. Thanks! Please like and subscribe for more videos!

    Hilarious, I was just about to comment that this was just like the rotavap that I use when I realized that it is exactly the same rotavap that I use. Hope things are going well for you. N.

    I need one of these. Was thinking how to evaporate something without heat for years, and the thought came to mind. So I youtubed "vacuum evaporator", and see tons of these on here! I need one!!!

    Great video! Are these cheap rotavaps capable of handling pressures of 5-10 mbar or is that too low for these systems? Thanks.

    • @noreezy4991
      @noreezy4991 2 роки тому

      Yeah... the question of seals is always the question. I think the question is more pronounced now than it has been historically, due to the enormous flood of rotary evaporators that have come on the scene to supply the cannabis extraction industry. Are these all using the same basic principle at play as those that have been historically sold by Buchi and others? or are they just Chinese models repackaged in nicer skin and sold at 8,000x markup?

    I had this model, the 90 degreese motor starts to produce high pitched souds over time, the collection flask developed crack from vacuum, the whole system won’t distil as much as they say, rubber sealings disintegrated withing 2-3 months....everything reported to seller, they don’t respond after 2 month.

    I'm a hobbyist, not a chemist. I've not seen a "real" lab before that wasn't made pretty for video.
    I'm curious - what are you doing or working on?
    I don't need a rotary evaporator, but couldn't something be made that would spread the solution without spinning the flask? Obviously not, because it's an obvious idea - just wondering why.

    • @thegoldenchild4657
      @thegoldenchild4657 3 роки тому +1

      You're wondering why the flask needs to spin? Keeps the solution moving, so it heats evenly (doesn't burn) and evaporates the solvent quicker, by increasing surface area.

      Yes. They are the shit. You need a vacuum pump / controller and a water chiller for the condenser. Waiting on mine and have a few questions myself. Too bad this guy doesnt reply to comments. I want to know what adapters he got for the bump trap and from where . LOL $351CAD thru Walmart! See how it goes. Was just about to pull the trigger on a real one.
