How to use the rotary evaporator

In this Lab Life Tutorial we show you how to use the rotary evaporator to remove solvents from your reaction flask. The concepts explained in this video are very general and can be applied to most rotary evaporator models.
Be aware that the rotary evaporator operates under REDUCED PRESSURE, therefore ALWAYS wear goggles, lab coat, and gloves when you use it. If you need to use the heating bath, make sure that your compound is thermally stable.
Please, remember to empty the collecting flask and wash properly the solvent splash head (or splasher) when you are done using this equipment.

[@gagakarima7708]

Thanks

[@BRYDN_NATHAN]

Thank you #newtome 😃

How much pressure do you recommend in order to evaporate faster? Do you think more than 1 atm is recommended in order to evaporate an aqueous solution at 50 °C? Thank you in advance

[@Nebenthez87]

why are you increasing the pressure if you want to evaporate a solvent?

[@fatinnajwaishak785]

How to know if it's already at equilibrium?

[@dhakshinamurthi5924]

Can have help need me and fully details of work rotary evaporator handling in my college instrumention with me

[@BuddyCalyxed]

So how do you get your product our of the ball flask after the solvents been evaporated?...Solvent?

[@bw6329]

Thats what im thinking right now

[@kamsufc]

Yes it depends on what your product is but generally you'd use a warm solvent e.g. Ethyl acetate, which is then cooled to give you crystals that crash out upon cooling

[@pierangelogobbo6786]

It really depends on what you need to do next. If your product is a solid you can scrape it out with a spatula, if is a liquid you pipette it out etc.

how can recovery the compound

[@mbudziszek]

how much is a set up like this?

[@pierangelogobbo6786]

Price varies a lot. It can go up to 20k GBP.

[@406.dabber8]

Nah only like 3k now

[@bussi7859]

No clue

[@bw6329]

Hello beautiful people hahaha

[@nebur85]

no info on the heat temp what a joke
