Laboratory Evaporation & Distillation Systems: Rotovaps, Short-Path & Concentrators

Evaporation, purification, and solvent recovery are some of the most important laboratory processes, especially for pharmaceutical researchers, chemical engineers, and life scientists. At Lab.Equipment, our Evaporation & Distillation Systems category provides you with the most robust and high-quality laboratory products that are designed to accommodate not only the evaporation and purification of your laboratory samples but your laboratory solvent recycle and recovery as well.

We cooperate with reliable laboratory equipment manufacturers to offer complete solutions such as Rotary Evaporators, Short-Path Distillation kits, and Vacuum Concentrators, specifically designed for the challenging needs of research.

Discover Our Separation Technologies:

• Rotary Evaporators (Rotovaps): The gold standard for efficient solvent evaporation. At Assymptots, our rotary evaporators come equipped with high accuracy digital heated baths, ergonomic lifts, and robust condenser units. They are the best tools for many chemical synthesis and extraction processes, as they increase the solvent surface area to accelerate evaporation and prevent the degradation of lab samples.
• Short Path and Molecular Distillation: These are designed for high-purity distillations. In short-path distillation, the evaporator and condenser are close together, which requires the distiller to operate at low pressure and low temperatures. This distillation technique is necessary for distillers of botanical extracts and essential oils, which are often thermally labile.
• Vacuum Evaporators & Concentrators : These are commonly employed within the biological laboratory and are designed by companies such as Benchmark Scientific. These particular types of evaporators are centrifugal concentrators, where the samples are dried by means of vacuum, heat, and centrifugal force. They are particularly well suited for use with numerous small samples.
• Thin-Film and Wiped-Film Evaporators: Designed for continuous operation and optimal heat transfer. These are ideal for use with high-viscosity products and are designed for rapid evaporation, which provides short residence times, thus avoiding heat stress on the material.
• Distillation Glassware and Kits: Made of high quality Borosilicate 3.3, the equipment includes boiling flasks, condensers, and receivers, which are resistant to both thermal shock and chemicals.

Key Features of Our Systems:

• Advanced Vacuum Control Systems - Optimize your operating pressures to reduce boiling points and save costs.
• Resistance to Chemicals: Chemically resistant PTFE-coated seals and borosilicate glassware are designed for
• Safety Devices: Devices such as power failure lift-out and boil dry protection ensure the safety of the operators.
• Turnkey Solutions  Many of our units come equipped as complete packages, which means your entire  system, right down to the vacuum pump and recirculating chiller, will be completely compatible and ready for use.
