On 9/1/2015, BUCHI, the inventor of rotary evaporators, introduces a ground-breaking laboratory system with the launch of the Rotavapor® R-300. The innovative, modular platform with a plug & play concept enables seamless combinations of components to provide tailor-made solutions, from a basic rotary evaporator to a fully-automated system.
On 4/19/2016, Rotavapor® R-300 has been recognized with the German Design Awards 2016, the RedDot Award 21 and the iF International Forum Design Award. Furthermore, the User Interface I-300 and I-300 Pro for the R-300 received the iF Award in the category “communication”. According to the commitees, the awarded products set a new standard of quality, modularity, flexibility, ergonomics, comfort and safety with a strong, consistent corporate product design language.
A new level of unattended operation will be achieved with integration of an optional central interface. In conjunction with a BUCHI vacuum pump and recirculation chiller, the perfect synchronization of process parameters, such as rotation speed, pressure and temperature opens up new possibilities.
The BUCHI Rotavapor® Configurator app is available to simplify the process of selecting the optimal configuration for any customer’s needs. The Buchi R-300 rotary evaporator meets the highest expectations in convenience and versatility. Its modular design allows extension of the Rotavapor® R-300 to a fully integrated system where a central interface regulates each component.
Ai is now the official dealer of Buchi products. These rotavapor systems are made in Switzerland with two-year warranty directly from Buchi Corporation.

Your safety is important to us! Please use caution when operating. Users of glass reaction equipment must take all necessary precautions to avoid contact with rotating parts, particularly entanglement of loose clothing, hair, necklaces, or other jewelry. Under these circumstances, the winding action of the rotating parts can draw the user(s) into the apparatus, resulting in breakage of glassware, burns, and/or chemical exposure. Extra caution must also be taken when operating with air-reactive materials, especially under vacuum. A leak can draw air into the apparatus and cause a violent reaction to occur.
