Webinars

Webinar #49 Optimising Reaction Evaporation OD
Optimising
Rotary Evaporation

Join Ravi Hosein (Radleys) and Ed Gill (VACUUBRAND) as they explore the importance of vacuum control in lab applications. They discuss vacuum pump types, best practices, and how vacuum affects rotary evaporation, including ways to reduce bumping and foaming. Plus, get expert tips to optimise your evaporation processes for greater efficiency.

Why you dont need a bigger rotary evaporator - On Demand
Why you don’t need a bigger rotary evaporator

Join Ravi and Jurgen to learn how the Heidolph Distimatic Pro automates rotary evaporation processes on industrial scale (>20 L), completely eliminating the need for users to manually refill and empty flasks, for complete automated evaporation. And see how the new Distimatic Pro and Reactor-Ready Pilot work in tandem for automated operation.

Hei-VAP Best practices - On Demand
How to get the most out of your Rotary Evaporator

Rotary evaporators are a ubiquitous tool in chemistry labs. Used for removing solvents post reaction or extraction of compounds from a homogenous solution. In this webinar we explain the principles behind rotary evaporation, the basics of using one, how to make your evaporation’s more efficient and also how to maintain your rotary evaporator.
