Rotary evaporation for laboratory applications

Achieve precise evaporation and concentration with modular, high-speed rotary technology, tailored for controlled distillation and drying processes in laboratories.

The Rotavapor® R-300 by BUCHI is a sophisticated rotary evaporator designed for laboratory and R&D environments within chemical, pharmaceutical, and academic institutions. Its modular design allows seamless integration into your existing process line, providing options for manual or automated operation. The R-300 effectively executes evaporation and distillation, ensuring optimal solvent recovery and high-precision concentration of liquids, slurries, and powders.

The system supports a range of flask sizes from 50 to 5000 mL and operates within a temperature range of 20 to 220 °C, providing flexibility to accommodate diverse applications, including the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients and botanical extracts. Equipped with the I-300 or I-300 Pro interface, it enables the programming and monitoring of customized distillation methods, enhancing process accuracy and efficiency.

The R-300 employs the BUCHI Cloud Services for remote monitoring and real-time updates, optimizing uptime with smart self-service tools. Its energy-efficient design enhances operational efficiency, while the use of high-grade materials ensures durability and chemical resistance. Maintenance is streamlined with easily accessible components and optional customized glassware for tailored operations.
