An alternative solution to rotary evaporators for solvent evaporation

15 Sep, 2025

Concentrators (nitrogen blowdown concentrators) are becoming increasingly used as an alternative to rotary evaporators due to both the speed of evaporation and space saving in the laboratory. The systems use a nitrogen purge plus heat to provide high speed evaporation. 

A range of four LabTech laboratory concentrators is available from Analytix that provide solvent evaporation from 6, 10, 64 samples up to a system for 96 well plates. The mid-range 10 position MultiVap system supports simultaneous evaporation with 50 and 200ml cups with an automatic detection of liquid endpoint. Most of the systems support a multiple range of vial sizes and have a touch screen terminal for easy programming.
