Rotavapor® R-180 System

Built to last

Engineered for durability, the Rotavapor® R-180 features a reliable IP42 rating for protection against water splashes. A robust aluminum base guarantees exceptional stability, and its chemical-resistant cover ensures longevity even under harsh laboratory conditions.

Well-suited for daily applications

The R-180 supports flasks up to 3 L and is available with four condenser options, including back-feeding, making it adaptable to a wide range of applications. To save valuable lab space, the instrument can be positioned at an angle for direct access, with the rotatable interface allowing clear visibility.

Safe operation

Experience safety in the lab. The electric lift ensures smooth and precise height adjustments, automatically lifting the flask in the event of a power outage to protect your samples. Additionally, the glassware with Safety Coating prevents sample loss in case of accidental breakage.

Features

  • With the cable and tube holders, you can secure cables on the back of the R-180, making your workspace a tidier and safer place.

  • The compact cordless heating bath ensures hassle-free carrying during emptying and re-filling and can be horizontally adjusted to fit a wide range of glassware. It accommodates flask sizes of up to 3 L and temperatures up to 95 °C.

  • The electric lift ensures smooth operation and automatically lifts the flask out of the bath in case of a power outage.

  • The central user interface is easy to use and facilitates the evaporation process thanks to the navigation control with which all parameters can be adjusted. The user can see and set the bath temperature, rotation speed, and cooling temperature.

  • The multifunctional Combi-Clip with snap lock mechanism allows the evaporating flask to be connected with one hand.

  • Position the instrument at an angle to save space, with the rotatable interface ensuring direct access. Option to mount the vacuum interface I-180 on top.
