What is a Rotary Evaporator " RotaVap " ?

A rotary evaporator is a device used in chemical laboratories for the efficient and gentle removal of solvents from samples by evaporation. When referenced in the chemistry research literature, description of the use of this technique and equipment may include the phrase "rotary evaporator", though use is often rather signaled by other language (e.g., "the sample was evaporated under reduced pressure").
Rotary evaporators are also used in molecular cooking for the preparation of distillates and extracts.

A simple rotary evaporator system was invented by Lyman C. Craig.[2] It was first commercialized by the Swiss company Büchi in 1957. In today's market there are several other brands that manufacture Rotary Evaporators such as Buchi, Scilogex, IKA and etc.
