In this video we look at the Rotary Evaporator or "Rotovap" for quickly evaporating solvents from products under gentle heating and vacuum. These are used in professional labs for their high speed. But due to their high expense, amateurs almost never encounter them.

This particular unit was very graciously gifted by GWSI labs: https://www.gwsilabs.com/

The vacuum is provided by powerful aspirator vacuum pump and the concept is explored in our own video on an amateur version of the same system:    • Lab Equipment: Aspirator Vacuum Pump
