Evaporator; RV 10 Digital with coated Dry Ice Condenser, Rotary, IKA, 120 V

Rotating evaporators provide four times the distillation efficiency compared to conventional distillation devices. The rotating function of rotary evaporators increases the surface area of the vessel and speeds up the distillation process. IKA takes this to a higher level by offering variants that widen the breadth of functionality, safety and use of the RV 10 Series. For labs performing complex and demanding distillation processes, there is the RV 10 Digital and the RV 10 Control.

Configurations

• V (Vertical): includes vertical glassware
• V-C: includes coated shatterproof glassware; provides added safety
• Auto Models: automated Boiling Point Detection, Speed Control Pump and 10 program functions
• Dry Ice Condenser (standard and coated): for distilling low-boiling point solvents with an option for a shatterproof coated model (“C”) for added safety
• FLEX: does not include glassware; allows customization of glassware setup for specific applications
