The Science behind Rotary Evaporators and Their Role in Lab Efficiency
Rotary evaporators are essential tools in laboratories, designed to efficiently remove solvents from samples through evaporation. They work on the principle of reducing the pressure inside a rotating flask, which lowers the boiling point of the solvent. This allows the solvent to evaporate at lower temperatures, preserving the integrity of heat-sensitive compounds. The rotating motion increases the surface area of the liquid, enhancing the rate […]
