Product: Heidolph Hei-Vap Precision Rotary Evaporator

Case Study No: CS1050

Situation

The Analytical Chemistry Department at Eurofins UK analyses samples for pesticides. They wanted to upgrade their existing rotary evaporator units, which had been in use for about 16 years, to a model with vacuum control.

Objectives

  • Precise vacuum control
  • Set and save methodologies to improve consistency and ease of use

Results

  • The Heidolph Hei-Vap Precision rotary evaporator enables Eurofins to set a specific vacuum
  • The Hei-Vap Precision can also automatically save methods based on vacuum, rotation speed and bath temperature  to improve consistency and ease of use
  • Six Heidolph Hei-Vap Precision rotary evaporators were successfully installed and connected to an existing chiller and pump unit.
The Heidolph rotary evaporators save us time in removing solvent from samples as we can control the vacuum more accurately now.Analytical Chemist, Eurofins Scientific
