How the Rotary Evaporator can be used to accelerate chemical reactions
The rotary evaporator is a laboratory equipment used to carry out the distillation process by which the components of a liquid mixture are separated based on their different boiling points. In addition, we at Kalstein have the right equipment, which consists of a heating unit, an evaporation chamber and a condensation unit. The evaporation chamber is connected to a vacuum source, allowing liquids to evaporate at very low pressure. The condensing unit is connected to a water circulation pump, so the condensed liquid is recirculated and cooled. The heating unit is used to increase the temperature of the evaporation chamber, which makes the liquid evaporate faster.
Ultrasound scan: characteristics and types
Ultrasound scanners feature a device called a transducer, which emits ultrasound waves. These high-frequency sound waves are transmitted to the body area under study and their echo is received. The transducer picks up the echo of sound waves and a computer turns it into an image that appears on the screen….
Advantages and Disadvantages of using a Rotary Evaporator?
A Rotary evaporator is a laboratory equipment, applied in the chemical sector, capable of separating or rescuing substances at very low pressures, to extract from them the various elements that compose it, through distillation processes, and to be able to separate the components from each other.
How is an ultrasound scanner used?
An ultrasound scanner is a specialized medical device that uses ultrasonic waves, i.e. waves with frequencies above the human ear threshold (more than 20,000 cycles per second or 20 kHz) to obtain images of most soft tissues. This instrument provides diagnostic images from the echoes obtained by the emission of these waves…
How can the Rotary Evaporator be used to purify organic compounds?
At Kalstein we have the ideal rotary evaporator, commonly used in the laboratory to distil or purify liquids. Similarly, it can be used to distil pure organic compounds. It is a relatively simple equipment consisting of an evaporation chamber, a vacuum unit and a condenser.
The Rotary Evaporator in the Biology Laboratory
A rotary evaporator is laboratory equipment designed to facilitate the evaporation of liquids at high temperatures. It is an essential tool in the biology laboratory, where it is used to concentrate samples and perform other tasks related to research. The rotary evaporator consists of an evaporation tank, a heating unit, a condensing unit and a vacuum pump. All these elements are connected to each other by a series of pipes and hoses.
Maintenance of Rotary Evaporators: how to extend the service life?
Rotary evaporators are an essential part of laboratory equipment, and their proper maintenance is crucial to ensure optimal operation and extend their life.
It is a device used to remove solvents from mixtures by evaporation. A boiling V-shaped flask with a capacitor above is used. A vacuum is created in the flask which causes the liquid to boil at a lower temperature. This allows the solvent to be withdrawn without damaging the other ingredients in the mixture.
What is an ultrasound scanner?
An ultrasound scanner is a medical device that provides images of most soft tissues through the use of ultrasonic waves. That is, it allows obtaining diagnostic images from the echoes obtained by the emission of ultrasound waves. These waves are produced by an instrument called a transducer, which, in addition to generating the ultrasound…
Why is it more efficient to use a Rotary Evaporator to concentrate laboratory samples?
A rotary evaporator is a very useful and efficient instrument for concentrating samples in the laboratory, since it allows the solvent to be evaporated in a controlled way and leaves the sample in the container without damaging it. This is very important, as it prevents the loss of the sample and ensures a correct concentration.
Ultrasound scanner: What data does it provide?
An ultrasound scanner is medical equipment that provides images of most soft tissues without subjecting patients to ionizing radiation. In other words, it allows obtaining diagnostic images from the echoes obtained by the emission of ultrasound waves (the most common). A small instrument called a transducer, very similar to a microphone…
