For cost reasons, the majority of universities purchase solvents of technical quality. These are then distilled by the respective working groups as required for further use for synthesis or other purposes. Often each laboratory is individually responsible for the preparation of solvents, which is inefficient.

One solution for this problem can be the purchase of a Hei-VAP Industrial - Performance Plus package. In this way the technical solvents can be processed centrally in 10 l quantities by a CTA (chemical-technical assistant) and then the analytically pure distillate is bottled and given to the chair.

Hei-VAP Industrial - Performance Plus Package

  • The high performance glassware A1C grants highest evaporation rates.

  • The AutoAccurate function automatically adjusts the vacuum when required, so large quantities can be efficiently prepared unattended.

  • Two collection flasks with drain tap provide immediate access to the purified solvents, if necessary, without disrupting the ongoing distillation process.
