Buchi R-124 Rotavapor Rotary Evaporator
Buchi Waterbath B-481
Ace Glass Vapor Duct Tube with 24/40 Joint
Both power cords included.
Includes the round bottom flask and the dry ice condenser.

This unit shows typical signs of wear and tear from prior use such as scuffs and scrapes (see photos).
The Rotavapor works well and the water bath gets to a nice rolling boil topping out between 98 - 99°C.

Everything comes exactly as shown in the photos.

Great to see you, Zephyr. It's been a while.

I am told that a rotovap is something that you don't realise you need until you actually have one. ATM it is outside of my price range: especially with shipping. But it looks like a bargain for the right person.

Pretty much essential if you gotta do something seriously and strip a lot of solvents.

I've managed so far with strong heating bath and overhead stirring. Compared to a standstill distillation, the speed is a least threefold.

That's a great price, you can't even buy a broken one or parts for that on Ebay. Shipping could add about $100 depending on the distance. But still a great price if anyone on the west coast is looking, I would consider it, especaily if you can pick it up.

Thanks, it's great to see SM still alive and well.

It makes a huge difference, turns an an afternoon of distillation into a half hour.
