The Rotary Evaporator – Strike 285 by Wiggens is an indispensable solution for laboratories in South Africa, engineered for high-efficiency separation, concentration, and purification of solvents. This advanced Rotavap delivers outstanding performance, combining precise control, robust functionality, and an ergonomic design—making it ideal for a wide range of laboratory applications.
Intuitive User Interface
With a large touch screen display, the Strike 285 allows for easy monitoring and control of all functions. Parameters can be adjusted using either the touch screen or the turning knob, providing flexibility for quick modifications. By utilizing the integrated temperature and vacuum controllers, users can automate distillation processes, significantly reducing overall time.
Efficient Design and Versatile Features
The evaporation flask connects seamlessly to the vapor tube via a coupling ring, facilitating easy installation and removal. The innovative flask ejector design simplifies the removal of stuck flasks by allowing effortless ejection with a simple turn.
- Sealing System: The unique sealing mechanism ensures a perfect vacuum-tight and corrosion-resistant operation, suitable for various sample types. This system is standard across all Strike models and works with all glassware sets.
- Mechanical Structure: An electric lifting device features an adjustable stroke that can halt at any position. The powerful rotation motor achieves speeds up to 280 rpm, while the angle of the evaporating flask can be customized according to your needs.
Safety and Customization
Safety is a top priority with the Strike 285. It includes a heating bath equipped with overheating and dry running protection, ensuring safe operation. In the event of a power outage, the electric lifting device automatically removes the flask from the heating bath, preventing potential thermal damage to your samples.
- Heating Options: Users can select between water or oil bath fluids, with temperature settings reaching up to 185°C. The high-strength PTFE-coated inner bath ensures durability and safety.
- Programmable Conditions: The Rotary Evaporator supports up to 9 programmable distillation conditions, allowing for tailored processes to meet specific laboratory needs.
