So, You Want Total Control Over Your Evaporation? Yamato's Got You Covered!

Let's talk about something exceptional in the Yamato RE202/212 and REV202/212 rotary evaporators – their awesome rotation speed range. We're talking about the widest range on the market right now– from 5 to 315 rpm. Whether you're dealing with a variety of solvents or different volumes, this range gives you the control you need to nail that evaporation process every single time. And the best part? That encoder dial is super user-friendly. Need a tiny tweak? Turn it slowly and adjust by 1. In a hurry? Whip it around faster and jump by 10s. Precision and flexibility in one neat package – that's how we roll.

Choose Your Rotation Style – Because One Size Doesn't Fit All!

Flexibility is the name of the game in any lab, right? Well, the rotary evaporator's rotation modes are all about giving you options. Forward, reverse, auto reverse – pick what works best for your experiment. And if you're working in different lighting conditions, no sweat – the RPM display has 8 brightness levels for crystal clear visibility. It's all about making things easier and more efficient for you.

Ergonomics? Yamato's Got Your Back!

We know every scientist is unique, and that's why this rotary evaporator is designed to suit anyone and everyone. Whether you're a leftie or a rightie, or you've got a specific setup in your lab, the glassware and bath can be positioned on either side. Plus, if you're tight on space, you can fit up to three units of Glassware B in a standard fume hood. Space-efficient and ergonomic? Check and check.

A Condenser That's More Than Just a Pretty Face

Now, let's chat about the glass condenser. This isn't just any condenser; it's a uniquely designed piece that combats liquid stagnation and backflow, boosting the vacuum seal's durability. What does this mean for you? Better operational efficiency and a longer life for your equipment. Yamato isn't just about making things work; they're about making things last.

Tailored for Your Solvents and Temperature Needs

Working with ketone or ether solvents? You know the drill – standard vacuum seals tend to swell up. But here’s the kicker: Yamato's rotary evaporator offers a PTFE vacuum seal as a solution. Talk about being prepared! Plus, you get to pick between water and oil baths, catering to a range of temperature needs. The 5L bath is not only spacious but also decked out with all the safety functions you need, like automatic overheat prevention. It’s all about giving you options and safety in one neat package.

Transforming Lab Efficiency: Real Experiences with the RE202 Rotary Evaporator


Application: Wastewater Sample Prep

In a busy industrial enterprise lab, where time is as valuable as results, the testing for total inorganic phosphate in effluent is a critical task. Traditionally, this process took the team a hefty 40 minutes per run, consuming a significant chunk of their day. But here’s where the RE-202-BWA unit has made a world of difference.

Shaving Off Time Without Cutting Corners

“With the RE-202-BWA unit for pre-concentration of the sample, our FTIR method testing now takes just 15-20 minutes. That’s half the time of our previous method, which is a huge leap in efficiency for us.”

Ease of Use and Practical Design

Assembling the unit was a breeze. The jack for raising and lowering the unit operates so smoothly – it’s a real game changer. Plus, the water bath heats up quickly and maintains a consistent temperature, which is key for our tests.” 

Space-Saving and Convenient Setup

We positioned the condenser vertically to optimize our lab space. It’s great how it connects with a chiller for cooling, eliminating the need to be near a water source. This flexibility in setup is just what our lab needed.” 

Why Choose the RE202?

When asked why the lead chemist would recommend the RE202 rotary evaporator, the response was straightforward yet compelling:

“I would recommend this unit because it does exactly what we need, quickly and effortlessly. It’s not just about getting the job done; it’s about getting it done efficiently and reliably. That’s what the RE202 delivers.”

The Magic of Yamato’s Vacuum Pump

Let's talk about something that's a total game-changer in the world of rotary evaporators – the vacuum pump in models like the RE202-AWA/212-AWA and the REV202M-BWA/212M-BWA. This isn't just any pump; it's the heart of lab efficiency and precision.

Dial in the Perfect Pressure
You know how crucial the right vacuum pressure is, right? Well, Yamato’s got you covered with a pressure setting range that goes from zero all the way to 1013 hPa. Whether your samples are the sensitive type or just plain volatile, this pump lets you tweak the pressure to the sweet spot, ensuring top-notch evaporation every time.

Seamless and Smart
Now, for those model with a vacuum controller, like the REV202M-AWA/212M-AWA, get ready for some smooth sailing. The VR102S vacuum controller is more than just a fancy add-on; it’s the brains behind the operation, sitting right above the jack handle. This setup isn't just about looking good; it's about making your workflow as smooth as butter.

Safety in the lab is non-negotiable, right? Yamato's vacuum pump technology comes loaded with safety features to tackle errors – think communication glitches, pressure sensor mishaps, and more. It's all about keeping your samples safe and your peace of mind intact. 

A Chemist’s Take on the REV-202MA Rotary Evaporator

Industry: Medical Equipment Manufacturing

"Our lab space is quite compact, so the small and sturdy design of the REV-202MA is a big win for us. It's not just about being space-efficient; the unit's metal construction feels more robust than other rotary evaporators I’ve used in the past, like those from Buchi. And honestly, it looks pretty sleek too – clean, modern, and fits right into our lab's vibe.


"The lift mechanism is smooth as silk. It takes minimal effort to raise and lower, and positioning the flask just right in the bath is a breeze."


"I've always preferred a more hands-on approach with manual pressure control and a dial vacuum gauge for that quick, intuitive feel. But the electronic vacuum control on the REV-202MA? It's a game-changer. Easy to use and super effective.


"The wireless connection between the vacuum controller and the pump caught me off guard – in a good way! No cables, no fuss, just turn it on, and it pairs up seamlessly. It’s something I haven’t experienced before, and I'm impressed.

Impressive Vacuum Controller

"Compared to the basic electronic systems I've used before, this one's integration with the pump is top-notch. I love how it automatically adjusts the pump speed and even shuts it off when it hits the set pressure. It's not just about precision; it also brings down the noise levels, making our lab a much more pleasant place to work in."

Summary: A High-Quality, Precise Tool for the Lab

"Overall, the REV-202MA stands shoulder to shoulder with – and in some aspects, outdoes – competitors' equipment. It's solid, efficient, and brings an incredible level of control to our processes. This might seem like overkill for some, but for a lab like ours, where we’re running repetitive protocols, it’s perfect. We can dial in our settings, start the process, and just let it run without a second thought. It’s not just a rotary evaporator; it’s a key tool in our organic synthesis toolbox."

The Vacuum Controller: Your Rotary Evaporation Sidekick

The VR102S vacuum controller is the definition of control and necessity in rotary evaporation. Its color LCD display lets you read the operating status with just a glance. And for those who might be new to this whole rotary evaporation operation, this controller makes the learning curve a lot less steep.

Bumping – the bane of rotary evaporation. But guess what? The VR102S squashes that problem with its three operation modes: Manual, Gradient, and Auto. No matter your sample or solvent, there's a mode that fits.

Yamato is thinking ahead with wireless connectivity for specified vacuum pumps. And with the VR102S, you're not just getting general measurements – you're getting the degree of vacuum from 0 to 1100 hPa. Talk about precision!
