Labconco™ RapidVap™ N₂ Evaporation System

Description

Efficient alternative to Kuderna-Danish and rotary evaporators.

• Nitrogen manifold lets operator introduce nitrogen to selected samples. Processes up to eight samples at once; maximum individual volume capacity, 450mL

Choice of two end-of-run signals:

• Timed signal: electric timer pauses system, alerts user when set time has elapsed
• Temperature signal: system monitors temperature difference between sample block and heater caused by evaporative cooling; when evaporation is nearly complete, the two temperatures equalize, causing alarm to sound and PREHEAT/END ALARM light to flash
• Available with RS-232 Link on rear of unit for two-way communication

• Ideal for toxicology testing and environmental analysis
• Speeds evaporation by introducing nitrogen to the sample surface, an efficient alternative to Kuderna-Danish evaporators

Improved control panel

• Easy-to-read LCD display prompts operator to program desired parameters, and displays vortex speed by percentage, actual and set temperatures in °C, and total time remaining in minutes. Enter up to nine different protocols into memory for easy repetition of exact test parameters

Advanced heating system

• Contamination- and maintenance-free 1000-watt dry block heating system speeds evaporation rate by supplying a controlled amount of heat from ambient up to 100°C
• Heater and sample block move in tandem for more efficient heat transfer
• Alarm signals completion of run, allowing samples to be left unattended while evaporating to desired endpoint

Efficient operation

• Brushless DC motor ensures safe, maintenance-free operation and provides smooth, variable-speed power up to 500rpm
• Produces no potentially dangerous sparks

Increased durability

• Systems may be used with broad range of strong chemicals
• Powder-coated, aluminum cabinet base with smooth, solvent-resistant acrylic/PVC thermoplastic upper housing
• Aluminum chamber with PTFE coating conducts heat efficiently and resists corrosion
• All mechanical components are isolated from chemical fumes and vapors for longer life
• Chemical-resistant glass lid provides visibility of samples and detaches for cleaning
• Two clamps hold lid securely in place
• Phenol-free gasket provides sealing without potential for phenol contamination
• RapidVap models with optional RS-232 link allow all front panel functions to be performed and monitored from a personal computer (not included)
