Beyond Rotavap: How Smart Evaporator™ Takes Your Lab to the Next Level
1. Reliable Evaporation for Hard-to-Remove Solvents
In many conventional evaporation methods, concentration of challenging solvents like DMSO and DMF is a time-consuming and risky process. The Smart Evaporator ensures these solvent removal tasks are performed efficiently and without the risks typically associated with traditional techniques. By volatilizing solvents under atmospheric pressure, it eliminates the possibility of solvent bumping, which often results in loss of sample integrity or contamination. This innovative approach guarantees that evaporation can be conducted in a stable, controlled manner, enabling more reliable and safer solvent removal.
2. Prevention of Solvent Bumping
Solvent bumping can lead to unpredictable outcomes in traditional evaporation processes, risking sample contamination and instability. The Smart Evaporator prevents this by utilizing a controlled vortex environment, ensuring that evaporation occurs gradually without bumping. This advanced technology ensures that the process remains stable, providing a safer and more reliable solution for researchers.
3. Enhanced Workflow Efficiency
The Smart Evaporator reduces the need for constant oversight during the evaporation process. Unlike traditional methods, which require frequent monitoring and manual adjustments, the Smart Evaporator allows researchers to initiate the evaporation and focus on other tasks without having to watch the process continuously. This not only saves time but also minimizes the potential for human error, making the overall workflow more efficient and reducing interruptions in lab operations.
4. Safer and More Efficient Lab Operations
The Smart Evaporator is designed with safety and simplicity in mind, offering a more reliable solution compared to traditional, complex evaporation systems. Its straightforward design reduces the risk of mechanical failure and minimizes the need for frequent maintenance, saving time and resources typically spent on repairs and upkeep. In addition, its intuitive operation makes it easy for researchers, even those with limited experience, to operate the system without extensive training. This ease of use not only reduces the time required for new team members to become proficient but also ensures a smooth transition for successors.

Innovative Features of Smart Evaporator
A powerful tool for laboratories when used in conjunction with a rotary evaporator, the Smart Evaporator provides a versatile and efficient solution for evaporation operations in a variety of research fields.
1. Innovative DMSO Evaporator
The Smart Evaporator is the only reasonably priced device capable of efficiently evaporating high boiling point solvents, such as DMSO, DMF, and water, without the risk of solvent bumping. By utilizing the Spiral Plug and the VVC method, high boiling point solvents can be efficiently removed under atmospheric pressure without the risk of solvent bumping. Additionally, the inert gas purging feature (e.g., nitrogen) further enhances the evaporation process, eliminating the need for complex setups or vacuum reduction. This feature makes the Smart Evaporator the go-to tool for handling solvents that are otherwise challenging to evaporate with traditional methods.
2. Bump Free Technology
Unlike traditional evaporators that require vacuum systems to reduce pressure, the Smart Evaporator operates under normal atmospheric pressure, which inherently eliminates the risk of solvent bumping. This simple yet effective design ensures that researchers can safely concentrate their samples without worrying about unpredictable bumping. The technology provides a safe, stable, and straightforward approach to solvent evaporation, making it ideal for labs seeking a reliable and easy-to-use solution.
3. In Vial Evaporation
The Smart Evaporator offers unmatched flexibility by allowing evaporation in a variety of sample containers, unlike traditional evaporators that often have limitations on the types of containers that can be used. The Spiral Plugs come in multiple sizes, ensuring compatibility with different sample tubes, vials, and flasks. This feature eliminates the need for sample transfers between different containers, reducing the risk of contamination. Additionally, it saves time by minimizing the need for cleaning and preparing specialized containers. This makes the Smart Evaporator an efficient and convenient solution for labs that need to handle various sample types and sizes.
