Vacuum Concentrators

Vacuum concentration is a common technique used in laboratories to remove solvent from a solution, effectively concentrating the solute (the dissolved material). It works by exploiting the relationship between pressure and boiling point, namely lower pressure, lower boiling point. When you reduce the pressure in a container, the boiling point of any liquid inside also decreases. Among its benefits, we find therefore a faster evaporation but also the fact that conducting the process at lower temperatures helps protecting heat-sensitive components in the sample. Among all these advantages, LabTech MVP Vacuum Concentrators grant also the possibility of solvents recovery, offering therefore an environmentally friendly solution for your lab.
