Distillation – Automatic and Fast

Rotary evaporators have a long established place when it comes to sample preparation in the laboratory. A new system promises significantly improved results with features such as an integrated solvent library and the use of volume controlled distillation processes.

Rotary evaporators were developed around 50 years ago to allow safe, automatic distillation. Things have come a long way since then, particularly in the area of automation. With its new system, the RV 10 control, IKA brings us a high-end model that not only provides fully-automated distillation to ensure a safe laboratory environment, but that can also automatically set all required parameters as soon as the user selects the solvent to be used. This system tops off the RV 10 range of devices, which has been on the market for the last year.
