User Warning WARNING Failure to follow all warning and instructions could result in serious injury. Your safety is very important to us, we urge you to take the following precautions when using this product. We are not responsible for injury or damage caused by misuse. •... - Page 3 Purpose Rotary Evaporators are used to distill solvents from compounds with precise evaporation. These are especially useful when trying to separate organic compounds from ethanol, or any other low boiling point solvents. Boiling points can be lowered by pulling a vacuum on the system. The evaporating flask rotates with variable speeds, allowing you to spin the solution into a thin film around the flask.
