Application of Rotary Evaporator in Pharmaceutical Pretreatment

Application of Rotary Evaporator in Pharmaceutical Pretreatment

May 10, 2023

Innova rotary evaporator is widely used in the scientific research and production process of pharmaceutical, chemical, biological products, and other industries. It is an indispensable instrument and equipment for evaporation, concentration, crystallization, drying, separation, solvent recovery, and so on. The concentration of traditional Chinese medicine extract is a typical application of the rotary evaporator. The heating bath of the rotary evaporator is used to heat the solution to vaporize it, and the condensing tube condenses the steam to remove part of the extraction reagent, so as to increase the concentration of the solute in the solution.


In the process of pretreatment of traditional Chinese medicine preparations, purified water or a certain concentration of ethanol is used for extraction, such as licorice extract, rhubarb extract, Angelica extract and so on, the solvent can be recovered by rotary evaporator. The rotary evaporator works under vacuum conditions, the bath is heated at a constant temperature, and the evaporating flask rotates at a constant speed. The drug is not easy to form dirt in the flask to affect the heat transfer effect and the material forms a large area film on the flask wall, which greatly improves the evaporation efficiency of the solvent. Because the water temperature of the constant temperature bath is low, it will not lead to the decomposition and denaturation of the drug. Therefore, the rotary evaporator is especially suitable for the refining and concentration of traditional Chinese medicine preparations which are easy to decompose and denature at high temperatures.


Innova rotary evaporators provide excellent separation, concentration, and purification solutions.
