Beyond chemicals, a well-equipped laboratory needs reliable hardware. This guide covers three essential pieces of lab equipment — rotary evaporators, magnetic stirrers and chemical reactors — and what to look for.
Rotary evaporators
A rotary evaporator (“rotovap”) gently removes solvents from samples under reduced pressure by rotating the flask in a heated bath. Essential for concentration, purification and solvent recovery.
Magnetic stirrers with heating
A magnetic stirrer with heating (hotplate stirrer) combines controlled stirring and temperature for sample preparation, dissolution and reactions — a lab-bench staple.
Chemical reactors
Jacketed chemical reactors (available from 10L to 100L) provide controlled heating, mixing and reaction conditions for laboratory and pilot-scale synthesis and process scale-up.
Choosing equipment
Consider capacity, temperature range, the chemical compatibility of wetted materials, and the scale of your work — bench research vs pilot production.
