How can I find a rotary vaccum evaporator that fits my lab's specific needs?

To find a rotary vacuum evaporator that truly fits your lab, start by mapping your specific workflow: what solvents you remove, how much volume per run, and how often you run batches.  2–5 L rotary vacuum evaporator is usually ideal for R&D, while 20 L or larger is better for scale-up . 

Next, match the condenser geometry to your space and sample: a vertical condenser saves bench space, whereas a diagonal one offers faster evaporation . Rotation speed matters too—20–250 rpm covers most protocols, but if you need flexibility for viscous or heat-sensitive samples, look for a rotary vacuum evaporator with a 5–315 rpm range . 

Automation is another key filter: motorized lifts and digital vacuum control reduce operator fatigue during long runs, whereas manual lifts keep costs down for occasional use . 

Finally, confirm that the supplier provides acid-resistant glassware, easy access to spare seals and pumps—this guarantees your rotary vacuum evaporator will deliver safe, reproducible results year after year.
