Re-212-A Rotary Evaporator, Bm-312-A Oil Bath (5L), Glassware A Overview
The Re-212-A Rotary Evaporator, Bm-312-A Oil Bath (5L), Glassware A is a complete RE212A distillation system from Yamato Scientific, supplied by LabSupplies.com as an authorized dealer. This 220V rotary evaporator pairs a 5 L oil bath heated from RT +10°C to 180°C with Glassware Set A and a traditional diagonal condenser for chiller-based recovery.
Each set ships with the RE212A main unit, the BO312A oil bath, and a glassware package built around a double corrugated condenser offering 0.143 m² of cooling surface. Rotation runs from 5 to 315 rpm across forward, reverse, and auto-inversion modes, with evaporation rates reaching 23 ml/min. A manual spring-loaded jack lifts the flask up to 200 mm with stepless, one-touch locking.
Wiring accepts 200–230V single-phase power at 50/60 Hz and 1 A through a round terminal. The system carries a 90 lb shipping weight and a 36 × 36 × 27 in footprint, with exterior surfaces in chromium-free electrogalvanized steel and anodized aluminum. Country of origin is Switzerland (CH). LabSupplies.com ships genuine units from USA inventory.
Key Features
- Wide rotation range: 5 to 315 rpm with forward, reverse, and auto-inversion modes driven by a DC brushless servo motor.
- Manual slide jack: spring-loaded lift reaches a 200 mm maximum height, adjusts steplessly, and holds with a one-touch lock.
- Set inversion design: glassware and bath mount on either the left or right side to suit dominant hand and bench layout.
- High-efficiency condenser: double corrugated tube delivering 0.143 m² of cooling surface, paired with Glassware Set A diagonal condenser for chiller use.
- Digital speed display: control knob with eight brightness levels for clear readout in varied lighting.
- Layered safety: motor overload, over/low-voltage and speed-sensor protection on the drive, plus independent overheat prevention and overcurrent fuse on the oil bath.
How to Choose the Right Rotary Evaporator
Matching a rotary evaporator to a workflow means weighing flask size, heating medium, control style, and site power before purchase. Use the criteria below to confirm this RE212A system fits your distillation needs.
- Capacity: the 5 L oil bath supports evaporation flasks from 50 to 2000 ml and receiving flasks from 100 to 2000 ml, so confirm your batch volumes fall within range.
- Temperature range: the BO312A oil bath spans RT +10°C to 180°C with ±2.0°C accuracy, suiting higher-boiling solvents that exceed a water bath ceiling.
- Control type: digital speed display with a control knob gives repeatable rotation setting, useful where method consistency matters.
- Voltage and power: this unit requires 200–230V single-phase service at 50/60 Hz; verify your bench circuit before installation since it ships with a round terminal and no plug.
- Footprint and orientation: the 36 × 36 × 27 in footprint plus set-inversion mounting lets you align the system to bench space and operator handedness.
- Solvent compatibility: the standard FKM vacuum seal handles general use, while a PTFE seal is recommended for ketone and ether solvents.
