IKA RV 8, Complete Solution Rotary Evaporators

RV 8 V Starter Solution / RV 8 pro V-C Complete

The RV 8 V Starter Solution and RV 8 pro V-C Complete are cost-effective complete packages for your rotary evaporator setup. Both packages include the HB digital heating bath with a capacity of 4 liters and a heating temperature range of RT to 180 °C, a highly efficient vertical glass condenser set with 1L receiver and evaporator flask, a vacuum pump with VC 10 lite vacuum controller and the RC 2 lite recirculating chiller. All components and connections required for operation are included.

RV 8 rotary evaporator

The RV 8 is the manual basic model in the family of IKA rotary evaporators. It finds a multitude of uses in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries, in research and development, in manufacturing and quality assurance, in laboratories, and in plant construction. Thanks to specially designed glass guides, the vertical condenser makes extremely efficient use of the 1500 cm² cooling surface. Digital displays for speed and heating bath temperature enable optimum control of all distillation processes.

Vacuum pump options

The RV 8 V Starter Solution includes the VACSTAR lite vacuum pump, which is extremely space-saving and achieves a minimum vacuum of 9 mbar. The RV 8 pro V-C Complete is instead equipped with the more advanced VACSTAR digital vacuum pump, achieving a deeper minimum vacuum of 2 mbar for more demanding applications. Both pumps are controlled by the supplied VC 10 lite vacuum controller, which enables manual setting of the vacuum, program-controlled operation, and control of the recirculating chiller.

Glassware options

The RV 8 V Starter Solution includes the RV 10.900 standard vertical glassware set, while the RV 8 pro V-C Complete is supplied with the RV 10.910 coated vertical glassware set, offering enhanced chemical resistance for more demanding distillation processes.

RC 2 lite recirculating chiller

Both packages include the compact RC 2 lite recirculating chiller, which offers a strong 400 watt cooling capacity and a powerful pressure and suction pump (0.35 bar), designed for simple cooling tasks down to -10 °C. The easily accessible and easy-to-clean mesh filter made of stainless steel ensures a consistently high cooling performance for years. Thanks to the natural refrigerant R290, the RC 2 lite is particularly environmentally friendly and well prepared for the future.
