Why Smart Evaporator

DMSO / DMF / water Evaporator
Bump Free Technology
In Vial Evaporation
DMSO DMF Water Evaporator
The Smart Evaporator enables efficient evaporation of high boiling point solvents. With the inert gas purging feature (ex. nitrogen), it’s great for drying down solvents such as DMSO, DMF and water.
(inert gas recommended).
The novel Spiral Plug technology generates a helical flow of air or inert gas over the surface of your solvent, thereby increasing the surface area. Since the vial isn’t under high vacuum, there is no risk of bumping or splashing.
The Spiral Plugs come in various sizes for compatibility with many different sample tubes, flasks, and vials. Coupled with a quick release, the Spiral Plugs are easily exchangeable between different sizes.

Why can DMSO be removed?

Smart Evaporator's VVC method, Vacuum Vortex Concentration, makes it possible to remove DMSO. The spiral airflow created by the special concentrator plug "Spiral Plug" supports rapid solvent removal.

Principle of Vacuum Vortex Concentration

1. Vacuum suction with a pump

Vacuum suction is initiated by a vacuum pump in the same way as in conventional rotary evaporators.

2. Gas influx through a spiral slit on a Spiral Plug

The Spiral Plug has a special groove (slit) carved on it.  When the vacuum pump starts suctioning, the gas from the surrounding air passes through the slit and flows into the container.

3. Generating spiral air flow

The inflowing gas spirals inside the vessel, creating an airflow inside the vessel.

4. Increasing the contact surface area between liquid and gas

The generated spiral air flow agitates the sample in the vessel. Then the surface area of the agitated sample increases.

5. Promoting solvent volatilization

This is a special technique in which volatilization is promoted by the increase of surface area caused by the spiral airflow.

Evaporation speed chart

The following is an example of the evaporation speed at which 5 mL of DMSO or DMF is evaporated in a 20 mL vial. DMSO, which is difficult to evaporate easily, can be evaporated in just over 3 hours. (*Data obtained with gas replacement)

Solvent / Quantity Suction Flow Rate 40ºC 70ºC
Water / 5 mL (20 mL vial) 29-30 L/min 49 min. 28 min.
DMF / 5 mL (20 mL vial) 20-30 L/min 43 min. 24 min.
DMSO / 5 mL (20 mL vial) 23-30 L/min 195 min. 69 min.
NMP / 5 mL (20 mL vial) 25-30 L/min N/A 71 min.
