R-215 Rotavapor – Precision Rotary Evaporator for Efficient Solvent Removal
The Buchi R-215 Rotavapor is a state-of-the-art rotary evaporator designed to meet the high demands of modern laboratories, including those in chemical synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and analytical research. This advanced evaporator is engineered to optimize the distillation process, offering uncompromising safety, precision, and ease of use.
At the core of the R-215 is its composite PTFE vacuum seal, ensuring a long lifespan and effective sealing, essential for maintaining vacuum integrity during distillation. This system, combined with a compact modular design, allows for easy integration of additional components such as vacuum controllers, enabling users to efficiently manage predefined time and pressure gradients.
A standout feature of the R-215 is its rapid-action motorized lift, which allows for precise and effortless elevation and lowering of the glassware, reducing manual handling and the risk of accidents. The 4L PTFE-coated heating bath (model B-491) offers a wide temperature range of 20 to 180°C (68 to 356°F), making it suitable for both oil and water applications. The digital temperature display allows for accurate monitoring, while the insulated bath and plastic-coated glassware enhance laboratory safety.
The Rotavapor R-215 is highly customizable, available in basic, advanced, and professional configurations. Advanced models come with the V-850 vacuum controller, offering features such as pressure regulation, a solvent library, and a USB interface for data transfer. Professional models include the V-855 vacuum controller, which adds automatic distillation functions and pressure gradient programming, making it ideal for complex and repetitive distillation tasks.
Designed with user convenience in mind, the R-215 features continuous vapor ducting to prevent cross-contamination, and its wireless power supply simplifies the filling and emptying process of the heating bath. The ergonomic design ensures that all controls and parameters are easily accessible and visible at a glance, improving workflow efficiency and reducing operator fatigue.
The R-215 also supports various condenser configurations, including diagonal, vertical, and dry ice condensers, to accommodate different laboratory environments and distillation needs. Whether for confined spaces or specific cooling requirements, the R-215 offers a flexible solution that adapts to your laboratory setup.
Safety is a priority with the R-215, offering options such as a safety shield, remote control, and enhanced protection against mechanical damage with plastic-coated P+G glass components. These features, combined with Büchi's proven quality, ensure that the R-215 not only meets but exceeds the safety and performance standards expected in a laboratory environment.
The Buchi R-215 Rotavapor is an indispensable tool for any laboratory requiring precise, reliable, and safe distillation processes. Its combination of advanced features, modularity, and ergonomic design makes it an ideal choice for both routine evaporation tasks and complex operations.
