Situation

The Organic teaching laboratory at the University of Nottingham was due to have a massive refurbishment to repurpose the space into a multi-disciplinary user STEM laboratory.

Objectives

  • New hotplates, chillers, rotary evaporators and pumps.
  • Installation of portable bench set-ups, removing the need for sinks at the main benches.

Results

  • The 16 new Hei-Vap rotary evaporators set up enables enables the University of Nottingham to flexibly arrange their lab.
  • The installation of 8 chillers allows for work where a sink is no longer required.
  • Installation with a trained rep from Radleys provided full training for the users and guidance on the best settings for the pumps and chillers.
The Hei-vap have been a huge success and I would highly recommend them as they require very little maintenance. Laboratory Technical Manager, University of Nottingham
