Labconco RapidVapVacuum Evaporation

Advanced vacuum function

• Microprocessor controls vacuum at preset level; Automatic vacuum release if power fails
• LCD shows vacuum level from 0 to 999mbar
• Rear-mounted vacuum connections: vacuum port, tubing clamps, lid heater receptacle, 30 in.L (76cm) 0.5 in. I.D. tubing for connection to accessory vacuum pump

Safety features

• Lexan™ shield on clear glass lid protects against glass implosion
• Dual lid clamps hold lid securely in place for vacuum-tight seal
• Phenol-free gasket provides complete sealing under vacuum
• PTFE-coated aluminum chamber
• Audible/visual alarm for end point detected by temperature sensors at heater and block

Optional Lid Heater

• 40w heater plugs into electrical receptacle on rear
• Eliminates fogging, increases visibility when evaporating water or other high-boiling-point solvents

Improved control panel

• Easy-to-read LCD display prompts operator to program desired parameters, and displays vortex speed by percentage, actual and set temperatures in C, and total time remaining in minutes. Enter up to nine different protocols into memory for easy repetition of exact test parameters

Advanced heating system

• Contamination- and maintenance-free 1000-watt dry block heating system speeds evaporation rate by supplying a controlled amount of heat from ambient up to 100C
• Heater and sample block move in tandem for more efficient heat transfer
• Alarm signals completion of run, allowing samples to be left unattended while evaporating to desired endpoint

Efficient operation

• Brushless DC motor ensures safe, maintenance-free operation and provides smooth, variable-speed power up to 1000rpm
• Produces no potentially dangerous sparks

Increased durability

• Systems may be used with broad range of strong chemicals
• Powder-coated, aluminum cabinet base with smooth, solvent-resistant acrylic/PVC thermoplastic upper housing
• Aluminum chamber with PTFE coating conducts heat efficiently and resists corrosion
• All mechanical components are isolated from chemical fumes and vapors for longer life
• Chemical-resistant glass lid provides visibility of samples and detaches for cleaning
• Two clamps hold lid securely in place
• Phenol-free gasket provides sealing without potential for phenol contamination
• RapidVap models with optional RS-232 link allow all front panel functions to be performed and monitored from a personal computer (not included)
