Description
RV 8 FLEX rotary evaporator is the manual base unit among rotary evaporators, intended for versatile use in chemistry, pharmacy and the bioindustry across research and development, production, quality assurance, laboratories and plant engineering. Digital displays for rotation speed and heating bath temperature allow optimal control of distillation processes. The unit is equipped with a 4-litre water-oil heating bath with carrying handles, a key lock for securing bath temperature and a clear black-and-white glass display. Integrated safety elevation of the lift activates automatically in the event of power failure. A Woulff bottle is included in the scope of delivery. The locking mechanism provides a red indication for the unlocked position of the vapour tube. Manual lift enables precise positioning of glassware, with adjustable immersion angle and one-hand operation suitable for left- and right-handed users. Speed range is 5 – 300 min⁻¹. Flask clamping incorporates an integrated push-off device for straightforward flask exchange. Operator safety is supported by 24 V low voltage inside the instrument. Full compatibility with the IKA RV 10 glassware range completes this flexible laboratory evaporator from manufacturer IKA.
This article belongs on Rotary evaporators, in Pumps, vacuum & evaporation.

Questions about RV 8 FLEX, Rotary evaporator
What is this article?
RV 8 FLEX, Rotary evaporator is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes IKA for laboratory use. It sits in Rotary evaporators, inside Pumps, vacuum & evaporation, in Lab instruments.
A rotary evaporator spins a flask under vacuum so solvent boils off a sample at a modest temperature. The flask size, the condenser type and the vacuum the seal can hold are the specification. Bumping is a flask that was too full or a vacuum that arrived too fast.
A vacuum pump lowers the pressure above a liquid so it boils at a lower temperature. That is the point of a rotary evaporator: solvent leaves a sample without cooking it. A diaphragm pump or a rotary-vane pump is chosen by the vacuum it reaches and by whether solvent vapour will destroy it. A peristaltic pump moves liquid by squeezing a tube, so the liquid touches only the tube. A barrel pump transfers a larger volume from a drum. The glassware on the evaporator is indexed under ISO laboratory glassware. Solvent identity is on PubChem.
