RapidVap® Evaporation System - Labconco Corporation USA
Labconco Rapidvap® is an effective & efficient alternate to a traditional rotary Evaporators.
RapidVap Evaporation Systems are multiple-sample evaporators that use a combination of gentle forces — vortex motion and heat with either vacuum or nitrogen blow down — to quickly reduce samples to dryness or an end point volume.
The chamber and sample blocks are Teflon coated and all mechanical components such as bearings are isolated from chemical fumes and vapors.
Two distinct RapidVap Systems are offered; to accelerate evaporation, one utilizes vacuum and the other utilizes nitrogen blow down. Exclusive Features :
Microprocessor controlled 1000 watt dry block heating system. Unlike water baths, the dry heating system adds no potential source of contamination and requires no maintenance
Maintenance free microprocessor controlled motor
Phenol free gasket
Alarm signal completion of run allowing samples to be left unattended while evaporating to desired end point
Convenient, easy to set programming
RapidVap® N2 and N2 48 Evaporation Systems
The RapidVap N2 and N2/48 Evaporation Systems offer a more efficient, automatic alternative to Kuderna-Danish and rotary evaporators . In such systems a stream of nitrogen or dry gas is directed downward onto the surface of the sample. Nitrogen blow down reduces the partial pressure directly over the liquid to speed evaporation and help remove the solvent as it evaporates. Nitrogen may be programmed for two, four, six or all eight tube locations.
On the RapidVap N2/48, eight clusters of six ports each allow for up to 48 small samples. Various blocks hold different sample sizes, from 4.5 to 26 milliliters.
