The Master Science Compact Rotary Evaporator is a space-saving rotavap with a maintenance-free brushless DC motor, suited to routine solvent removal and concentration in research and QC labs. Flasks from 50 mL to 3000 mL can be used, with a 1000 mL evaporating flask fitted as standard.
A separate 5 L bath switches between water and oil heating and can work on its own as a heating bath. Manual lift with an auxiliary stroke allows precise flask positioning, and a USB port enables PC control and data transfer.

Key Benefits
- Low maintenance drive: the brushless motor in the Master Science Compact Rotary Evaporator needs no brush replacement.
- Efficient condensing: a double-helix condenser with central arc speeds liquid flow and cooling.
- Safe heating: boil-dry protection and a 220 °C cut-off prevent overheating.
- Small footprint: fits benches and fume hoods with limited space.
- Remote operation: USB connection allows PC control and data logging.
For larger flasks and electric lift, see the Master Science 3 L rotary evaporator.

Common Laboratory Problems and How This Evaporator Helps
How the Master Science Compact Rotary Evaporator helps with daily evaporation:
- Motor brush wear: brushless drive removes this maintenance.
- Bath running dry: boil-dry protection cuts power.
- Leaking vacuum seals: PTFE double-spring seals hold vacuum.
- Limited space in fume hoods: compact design fits easily.
- Manual logging: USB transfers run data to a PC.
