Description
The completely revised RV 10 auto is the flagship of the IKA rotatary evaporator product line. Its features include an innovative handling concept with a bright, high-contrast, TFT, color-graphic control panel, an integrated vacuum controller, cooling water monitoring and mature safety standards. The RV 10 auto offer all properties required for efficient, safe, and cost-effective operations. These include automatic control of the vacuum and cooling water volume. Its intuitive handling concept quickly leads its users to their desired results in every application. Thanks to its extended ramp programming capability, the RV 10 auto allows users to carry out customized procedures. Other innovative features, such as smooth start, interval mode, right-left operation in interval mode, or the timer function for time-lapse tests, make everyday work in the laboratory much easier. Safety is ensured by the motorized lift with safety-stop function that automatically lifts the evaporation flask out of the heating bath in the case of power failure. Additional safety for users is provided by individually adjustable temperature safety circuits, protection against boiling dry, adjustable end-point recognition to prevent glass breakage, and a locking function. The receiving flask and the condenser are also available in coated versions. The USB port or the RS-232 interface enable remote control with the IKA “labworldsoft” software package and an update option with the firmware update tool. The device comes complete with vacuum hoses and hose connectors for your in-house cooling water supply. The new IKA Vacstar digital included in the package is controlled directly from the drive unit of the RV 10 auto via the data cable provided.

Questions about RV 10 auto pro FLEX, Rotary evaporator
What is this article?
RV 10 auto pro 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 Instruments de précision.
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.
