Amongst the family of IKA Rotation Evaporators, the RV 8 Rotary Evaporator is the most basic and manually-operated model. It has a variety of uses in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, as well as in research and development, laboratories, plant construction, and in manufacturing and quality assurance.
The 1,500 cm² cooling surface is used extraordinarily efficiently by the vertical condenser, courtesy of the specially-designed glass guides. Optimum control of all the distillation processes is enabled by the digital displays for both speed and the monitoring of the bath’s temperature.
