Overview
The Shanghai Yarong RE-6000AA Rotary Evaporator is a high-performance, benchtop-to-pilot-scale purification system engineered for reproducible solvent removal under reduced pressure. It operates on the principle of rotary evaporation—where simultaneous rotation, heating, and vacuum application lower the boiling point of solvents, enabling gentle, efficient concentration or recovery of heat-sensitive compounds. Designed for robust daily use in regulated laboratory environments, the RE-6000AA integrates precise thermal and rotational control with an integrated vacuum management system, supporting both water- and oil-bath heating modalities. Its architecture complies with fundamental mechanical safety standards for Class I electrical equipment (IEC 61010-1), and its operational parameters align with common method requirements in pharmaceutical process development (e.g., USP , ICH Q5C), natural product isolation, and fine chemical synthesis workflows.
Key Features
- Integrated built-in vacuum controller with adjustable setpoint range from –0.01 to –0.095 MPa and calibration traceability within ±0.2–0.5% full scale—eliminating reliance on external vacuum pumps for routine operation.
- PID temperature regulation with real-time LED digital display and ±2 °C thermal stability across the full 20–180 °C operating range; compatible with both water and silicone oil baths for broad solvent compatibility.
- Stepless speed control from 0 to 150 rpm via digital interface, ensuring optimal film formation and evaporation kinetics for low- to high-viscosity samples.
- Dual-path reflux condenser featuring 0.22 m² effective cooling surface area, optimized for high-efficiency vapor condensation and minimal bumping or carryover during extended runs.
- Motorized升降 water/oil bath with programmable height adjustment and timer-based auto-lift functionality—enabling unattended batch transitions and improved operator ergonomics.
- Full-color LCD touchscreen interface supporting real-time monitoring of temperature, rotation speed, vacuum level, and elapsed time; supports user-defined protocol storage and recall.
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The RE-6000AA accommodates standard ground-glass jointed evaporating flasks (ISO 2955 / DIN 12345 compliant) ranging from 500 mL to 6 L, including pear-shaped, round-bottom, and short-path configurations. Its sealed glass train and PTFE-coated stopcocks ensure compatibility with acidic, basic, and moderately polar organic solvents (e.g., ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, methanol, toluene). All wetted parts meet USP Class VI biocompatibility criteria. While not certified to ISO/IEC 17025 for metrological validation out-of-the-box, the system supports GLP-compliant documentation when paired with external audit-trail-capable data loggers and calibrated reference thermometers (e.g., NIST-traceable Pt100 probes). Vacuum and temperature profiles are fully recordable for internal SOP adherence and regulatory review.
Software & Data Management
The embedded firmware enables local storage of up to 20 user-defined evaporation protocols—including ramp rates, hold times, vacuum thresholds, and lift sequences. Data export is supported via USB 2.0 port in CSV format for integration into LIMS or ELN platforms (e.g., LabArchives, Benchling). Though the unit does not natively support FDA 21 CFR Part 11 electronic signature or audit trail functionality, its deterministic control logic and non-volatile parameter memory provide foundational traceability required for GMP-aligned pilot-scale process mapping and tech transfer documentation.
Applications
- Pharmaceutical intermediate purification and API crystallization support during Phase II–III process development.
- Concentration of botanical extracts, fermentation broths, and peptide solutions without thermal degradation.
- Solvent exchange in polymer synthesis and nanomaterial dispersion preparation.
- Removal of residual solvents from lyophilized intermediates prior to vialing.
- High-throughput sample prep for GC-MS and LC-MS analysis where consistent analyte recovery is critical.
FAQ
What flask sizes are supported?
The RE-6000AA accepts standard 24/40 and 29/32 ground-glass joints, accommodating 500 mL, 1 L, 2 L, 3 L, 5 L, and 6 L rotating flasks.
Is the vacuum controller programmable?
Yes—the built-in controller allows setpoint definition, ramping, and hold functions over the –0.01 to –0.095 MPa range, with real-time feedback displayed on the main screen.
Can it operate continuously with feed and discharge?
It supports continuous feed via optional peristaltic pump interface and gravity-fed inlet; bottom valve discharge enables controlled batch release without breaking vacuum.
Does it meet CE or UL certification requirements?
The unit conforms to IEC 61010-1 for laboratory electrical safety but is not CE-marked or UL-listed; users should verify regional import compliance through authorized agents.
What maintenance intervals are recommended?
Vacuum seal inspection every 200 hours; condenser cleaning after each solvent class change; annual calibration of temperature sensor and vacuum transducer using traceable standards.
