RE-212-A Rotary Evaporator, BO-312-A Oil Bath (5L), Glassware B Overview
The RE-212-A Rotary Evaporator, BO-312-A Oil Bath (5L), Glassware B pairs the Yamato Scientific RE212A main unit with a 5 L oil bath and vertical-condenser Glassware Set B. Distillation runs from room temperature to a 180°C bath ceiling at speeds of 5 to 315 rpm. LabSupplies.com supplies this complete system as an authorized Yamato Scientific dealer.
Exterior panels use chromium-free electrogalvanized steel with a baked-on finish, anodized aluminum, and fiberglass-reinforced polybutylene terephthalate resin. A DC brushless servo motor drives rotation, while the double corrugated-tube condenser delivers 0.143 m² of cooling surface. Manual spring-loaded jack lifts the flask up to 200 mm with stepless adjustment and one-touch lock.
Power draws 200–230V single-phase at 50/60 Hz through a round terminal without a plug. Packed for shipping it measures 36 × 36 × 27 in at 90 lb. Manufactured in China, the unit includes motor overload, over-/low-voltage, and speed-sensor-error protection as standard.
Key Features
- Rotation control: forward, reverse, and auto-inversion modes with a digital speed display and control knob offering 8 brightness levels.
- Slide jack lift: manual spring-loaded mechanism raises the flask to a 200 mm maximum height with stepless, one-touch locking.
- Condenser insulation kit: supplied as standard to suppress condensation on the condenser surface.
- Evaporation throughput: capacity up to 23 ml/min, accepting evaporation flasks from 50 to 2000 ml and receiving flasks from 100 to 2000 ml.
- Solvent-ready sealing: FKM vacuum seal fitted as standard, with PTFE recommended for ketone and ether solvents.
How to Choose the Right Rotary Evaporator
Matching a rotary evaporator to your workflow comes down to bath capacity, temperature reach, control style, and site power. Weigh each axis against the solvents and flask sizes your lab runs most.
- Bath capacity and flask range: a 5 L oil bath supports evaporation flasks from 50 to 2000 ml, so confirm your typical batch volume fits the working range.
- Temperature range: this oil bath spans RT +10°C to 180°C, covering higher-boiling solvents that a water bath cannot reach.
- Voltage and power: verify your bench supports 200–230V single-phase, 50/60 Hz before ordering, since the terminal ships without a plug.
- Footprint: Packed for shipping it measures 36 × 36 × 27 in at 90 lb.
- Solvent compatibility: choose the PTFE vacuum seal upgrade when distilling ketones or ethers; FKM covers general-purpose use.
