Lab Equipment Turnkey Setups

1L Standard Distillation Turnkey Setup  The Standard Distillation Turnkey Setup includes all the components necessary to successfully perform distillation at an entry level price point. The Standard Turnkey Setup Includes: 1L Distillation Kit 1/4" Flare x 1/4" Barb Adapter BVV™ 5L Heated Circulator BVV™ V9D 9CFM Two Stage Vacuum Pump Distillation Quick Start Guide This guide gives basic quick start instructions for distillation systems. It is intended to provide a starting point for learning the process. Parameters should be adjusted to suit specific needs, Before beginning distillation, ensure the following steps have been taken: Vacuum Pump is in good working order. Pump should be run against dry load to allow internals to warm up. Oil should be clear. Cloudy or dark oil should be changed. All glass components are in good working order and ready to be assembled A winterization and degassing procedure has been done to prepare oil for distillation Once all three of these steps have been completed, you are ready to begin distilling. Begin by placing stir bar in boiling flask and then load your material. This should be done using a funnel. A small amount of alcohol in the oil will give it a thinner consistency making it easier to transfer. Assemble all glassware and ensure each joint is properly greased. Do not use too much, as the vacuum pressure might pull some grease into the system. To ensure a full seal, spread grease in a circular motion by rotating glassware Attach circulator to condenser and set temperature to 50C. Allow circulator to reach temperature before beginning distillation. Connect vacuum pump to manifold. The manifold will allow you to isolate each individual component as well as let atmosphere into and out of the system. Connect receiving cow to cold trap. Connect cold trap to manifold. Connect vacuum gauge to manifold. At this point, ensure all connections are correct. Also ensure receiving cow is positioned to collect the first fraction in the far-left receiving flask. Circulator should be at its set temperature. Turn on vacuum pump to begin process. Turn on heat and set to 60C. Vacuum pump will begin to pull down and temperature will begin to rise. Watch the gauge to monitor vacuum pressure and stability. Start stir slower and increase speed with temperature. Once you are close to 60C, increase the temperature 20 degrees. Continue to raise the heat incrementally in 20-degree steps, increasing the set temperature as you near your set point. Increase temperatures incrementally until you reach 220C. You will see your first fraction somewhere between 180C and 190C or slightly before. This is the “heads” fraction. You will move to your second fraction when you see an increased reaction in the head, a slight color change toward golden, as well as a thickening of distillate. When this fraction hits, allow the distillate to “self-clean” the head for a minute or two then, rotate the cow to the middle receiving flask. Collect your “main body” fraction. You will see temps between 190-220C during this fraction. Continue to increase stirring speed as necessary. Reaction in the head may vary but it should never stop. As fluid level in the boiling flask decreases, increase stir speed. The final “tails” fraction is a mixture of the first and second fractions and should be saved for re-distillation later. Ideally, you want to turn the cow to the final flask before the tails fraction hits. The “tails” fraction has an obvious color change and will be darker than the “main body” fraction. You will see temps between 200-250C during this fraction. As fluid level in the boiling flask decreases even more, set stirring RPM higher (1000+ RPM). You may need to compensate with a bit more heat to finish of the final fraction as well. Once process is complete, stop heat, stop stir, and stop vacuum. Let atmosphere into the system. Be sure to properly store your distillate as exposure to air and light can cause oxidation. ***Note: This entire setup will ship via motor freight.*** *Notice to Customers: All units are inspected for broken glassware or parts before leaving BVV™. If the unit arrives damaged (this does not include minor imperfections or scuffs in glassware), the customer MUST contact BVV™ within 72 hours from carrier delivery to file a claim. If the customer DOES NOT contact BVV™ within 72 hours from carrier delivery, then BVV™ cannot issue any replacement(s) or compensation for the item; a new purchase will need to be made for a replacement.  BVV™ is not responsible for the failure of glassware which must be inspected before and after every use because it may eventually develop imperfections or damage through normal usage, mishandling, and stress caused by temperature variations. If an imperfection or damage is noted while inspecting the glassware DO NOT use the glassware because it can fail, which can cause bodily harm or damage to the surrounding area.

2L BVV™ Rotary Evaporator Turnkey Setup 2L Electric Lift Rotary Evaporator turnkey setup includes all the necessary components to successfully perform solvent recovery via rotary evaporation. A cold trap should always be used inline between your vacuum system and application to protect the pump from volatile vapors. 2L Rotary Evaporator Turnkey Setup includes: 2L Electric Lift Rotary Evaporator 90-day limited warranty (excludes glassware, consumables & moving parts) BVV NEO 1.4 CFM Diaphragm Pump ETL Rated OR. 3.5CFM Dry Floating Scroll Vacuum Pump Polyscience LS -20C to 40C 1/2HP Chiller w/ Turbine Pump OR BVV NEOCISION 20L Chiller (-40C) - ETL Rated 10ft of Vacuum Tubing 20ft of Chiller Tubing 10 Pack of Adjustable stainless steel hose clamps 3/8" Vacuum Manifold Optional add-on : BVV™ CT40 -40°F 300ml x 3 Cold Trap, BVV™ CT80 -112°F 300ml x 3 Cold Trap Optional add-on: J-KEM DVR-200 Digital Vacuum Regulator Optional add-on: Heat Transfer Fluid -- NuTherm PF-50 or Dynalene HC-50 Rotovap Quick Start Guide This guide gives basic quick start instructions for rotovaps. It is intended to provide a starting point for learning the process. Parameters should be adjusted to suit specific needs. Clean and assemble unit. Make sure all pieces are cleaned and sterilized using an alcohol solution. Connect chiller to the condenser and set to 0C (32F). Always fill a rotovap condenser from the top down (chiller output to top of the condenser, chiller input to bottom of the condenser). Connect vacuum pump to cold trap and connect cold trap to the vacuum port on rotovap. Turn on heat bath and set to 40C (113F). Once heat bath, chiller, and cold trap have reached desired temperatures, turn on the rotovap motor and set the speed to approximately 100 RPM (does not have to be precise). Keep in mind, higher RPM’s will increase evaporation power but also increase heat load. Start vacuum pump and allow vacuum to pull down for a few minutes before injection. Once the vacuum has been pulled to a sufficient level (does not have to be precise but should be below 100 Torr), using the injection valve, very slowly inject approximately 500 mL of solution into evaporating flask and then close the valve. Allow this small amount to begin evaporating. You may see the chiller begin to rise in temperature, this is called “priming” the rotovap. Once the temperature stops rising or all liquid is almost completely evaporated, open the injection valve again very slowly so that a small amount of liquid begins to enter the evaporating flask. Do not close injection valve this time but continue to allow the solution to enter the evaporating flask. At this point, you must try to match the input speed to the output speed. What this means is that you should be injecting the same amount of liquid into the rotovap that is equal to the amount of liquid dripping from the condenser into the receiving flask. You will know that the input speed and output speed are matched because the chiller will remain at a stable temperature. If the chiller begins to rise, then you are injecting too much liquid. Dial back the valve until the chiller stabilizes. Once everything is stabilized, you may walk away from the rotovap if necessary. Check every so often to make sure temperatures remain stable and evaporation continues efficiently. ***Glassware Safety Disclaimer: BVV™ is not responsible for failure of glassware which must be inspected before and after every use because it may eventually develop imperfections or damage through normal usage, mishandling, and stress caused by temperature variations. If an imperfection or damage is noted while inspecting the glassware DO NOT use the glassware because it can fail causing bodily harm or damage to the surrounding area.***

The manifold will allow you to isolate each individual component as well as let atmosphere into and out of the system. Connect receiving cow to cold trap. Connect cold trap to manifold. Connect vacuum gauge to manifold. At this point, ensure all connections are correct. Also ensure receiving cow is positioned to collect the first fraction in the far-left receiving flask. Circulator should be at its set temperature. Turn on vacuum pump to begin process. Turn on heat and set to 60C. Vacuum pump will begin to pull down and temperature will begin to rise. Watch the gauge to monitor vacuum pressure and stability. Start stir slower and increase speed with temperature. Once you are close to 60C, increase the temperature 20 degrees. Continue to raise the heat incrementally in 20-degree steps, increasing the set temperature as you near your set point. Increase temperatures incrementally until you reach 220C. You will see your first fraction somewhere between 180C and 190C or slightly before. This is the “heads” fraction. You will move to your second fraction when you see an increased reaction in the head, a slight color change toward golden, as well as a thickening of distillate. When this fraction hits, allow the distillate to “self-clean” the head for a minute or two then, rotate the cow to the middle receiving flask. Collect your “main body” fraction. You will see temps between 190-220C during this fraction. Continue to increase stirring speed as necessary. Reaction in the head may vary but it should never stop. As fluid level in the boiling flask decreases, increase stir speed. The final “tails” fraction is a mixture of the first and second fractions and should be saved for re-distillation later. Ideally, you want to turn the cow to the final flask before the tails fraction hits. The “tails” fraction has an obvious color change and will be darker than the “main body” fraction. You will see temps between 200-250C during this fraction. As fluid level in the boiling flask decreases even more, set stirring RPM higher (1000+ RPM). You may need to compensate with a bit more heat to finish of the final fraction as well. Once process is complete, stop heat, stop stir, and stop vacuum. Let atmosphere into the system. Be sure to properly store your distillate as exposure to air and light can cause oxidation. ***Note: This entire setup will ship via motor freight.*** *Notice to Customers: All units are inspected for broken glassware or parts before leaving BVV™.

The 10L Short Path Distillation Kit features our USA made P10 Distillation Head. Every component in this turnkey is made for precision, throughput, and repeatable results. Also included the Kangaroo digital thermometer which is very rugged and reliable. You will also receive a Ribbed Dewar Style Glass Cold Trap to keep all volatiles and solvents out of your vacuum system. This Kit gives you the basic necessities of a short path distillation system and allows you to add on a temperature control system and vacuum pump to fit your needs. The 10L Neo Kit Includes: 10L Short Path Distillation Kit including glassware, labware, and P10 Distillation Head. 10L Digital Heating and Stirring Mantle. Valved Vacuum Adapter. Ribbed Dewar Style Glass Cold Trap. Kangaroo Digital Thermometer. Distillation Quick Start Guide This guide gives basic quick start instructions for distillation systems. It is intended to provide a starting point for learning the process. Parameters should be adjusted to suit specific needs, Before beginning distillation, ensure the following steps have been taken: Vacuum Pump is in good working order. Pump should be run against dry load to allow internals to warm up. Oil should be clear. Cloudy or dark oil should be changed. All glass components are in good working order and ready to be assembled A winterization and degassing procedure has been done to prepare oil for distillation   The unit's max internal temperature cannot exceed 380C. The recommended max set temperature should not exceed 250C  Once all three of these steps have been completed, you are ready to begin distilling. Begin by placing stir bar in boiling flask and then load your material. This should be done using a funnel. A small amount of alcohol in the oil will give it a thinner consistency making it easier to transfer. Assemble all glassware and ensure each joint is properly greased. Do not use too much, as the vacuum pressure might pull some grease into the system.

10L NEO Rotary Evaporator Turnkey System 10L NEO Rotary Evaporator Turnkey System setup includes all the necessary components to successfully perform solvent recovery via rotary evaporation. A cold trap should always be used inline between your vacuum system and application to protect the pump from volatile vapors. To keep your bath heating properly, this unit should only be used with RO or DI water. 10-50L NEO and ECO Rotary Evaporator Diagram 10L NEO Rotary Evaporator Turnkey System setup includes: 10L Neocision ETL Lab Certified Rotary Evaporator Polyscience 6160T 1HP Chiller 3/8" Gum Rubber - 100ft 3/8" Silicone Tubing - 25ft Welch BTpro100 Diaphragm Pump Adjustable Stainless Steel Hose Clamps This guide gives basic quick start instructions for rotovaps. It is intended to provide a starting point for learning the process. Parameters should be adjusted to suit specific needs. Clean and assemble unit. Make sure all pieces are cleaned and sterilized using an alcohol solution.  Connect chiller to condenser and set to 0C (32F). Always fill a rotovap condenser from the top down (chiller output to top of condenser, chiller input to bottom of condenser).  Connect vacuum pump to cold trap and connect cold trap to vacuum port on rotovap.  Turn on heat bath and set to 40C (113F).  Once heat bath, chiller and cold trap have reached desired temperatures, turn on rotovap motor and set speed to approximately 100 RPM (does not have to be precise). Keep in mind, higher RPM’s will increase evaporation power but also increase heat load.  Start vacuum pump and allow vacuum to pull down for a few minutes before injection.  Once vacuum has been pulled to a sufficient level (does not have to be precise but should be below 100 Torr), using the injection valve, very slowly inject approximately 500 mL of solution into evaporating flask and then close the valve. Allow this small amount to begin evaporating. You may see the chiller begin to rise in temperature, this is called “priming” the rotovap.  Once the temperature stops rising or all liquid is almost completely evaporated, open the injection valve again very slowly so that a small amount of liquid begins to enter the evaporating flask. Do not close injection valve this time but continue to allow solution to enter the evaporating flask.  At this point you must try to match the input speed to the output speed. What this means is that you should be injecting the same amount of liquid into the rotovap that is equal to the amount of liquid dripping from the condenser into the receiving flask. You will know that the input speed and output speed are matched because the chiller will remain at a stable temperature. If the chiller begins to rise, then you are injecting too much liquid. Dial back the valve until the chiller stabilizes.  Once everything is stabilized, you may walk away from the rotovap if necessary. Check every so often to make sure temperatures remain stable and evaporation continues efficiently. **Note: All units are inspected for broken glass or parts before unit is shipped. If unit arrives damaged or glass is broken (this does not include minor imperfections or scuffs in glassware), Customer MUST contact BVV™ within 3 days of delivery to file a claim and receive a replacement part.

5L Neocision Short Path Distillation Kit This unit carries a 2 day lead time. The 5L Neocision Short Path Distillation Kit features our 5L Distillation Kit with P5 Distillation Head and USA made glass. Every component in this turnkey is made for precision, throughput, and repeatable results. You will also receive a Dewar Style Glass Cold Trap to keep all volatiles and solvents out of your vacuum system.  The Premium Turnkey Kit Includes: 5L Neocision Kit with P5 Distillation Head KF-25 x 1/4" Barb Adapter Dewar Style Glass Cold Trap Distillation Quick Start Guide This guide gives basic quick start instructions for distillation systems. It is intended to provide a starting point for learning the process. Parameters should be adjusted to suit specific needs, Before beginning distillation, ensure the following steps have been taken: Vacuum Pump is in good working order. Pump should be run against dry load to allow internals to warm up. Oil should be clear. Cloudy or dark oil should be changed. All glass components are in good working order and ready to be assembled A winterization and degassing procedure has been done to prepare oil for distillation Once all three of these steps have been completed, you are ready to begin distilling. Begin by placing stir bar in boiling flask and then load your material. This should be done using a funnel. A small amount of alcohol in the oil will give it a thinner consistency making it easier to transfer. Assemble all glassware and ensure each joint is properly greased. Do not use too much, as the vacuum pressure might pull some grease into the system. To ensure a full seal, spread grease in a circular motion by rotating glassware Attach circulator to condenser and set temperature to 50C. Allow circulator to reach temperature before beginning distillation. Connect vacuum pump to manifold. The manifold will allow you to isolate each individual component as well as let atmosphere into and out of the system. Connect receiving cow to cold trap. Connect cold trap to manifold. Connect vacuum gauge to manifold. At this point, ensure all connections are correct. Also ensure receiving cow is positioned to collect the first fraction in the far-left receiving flask. Circulator should be at its set temperature. Turn on vacuum pump to begin process. Turn on heat and set to 60C. Vacuum pump will begin to pull down and temperature will begin to rise. Watch the gauge to monitor vacuum pressure and stability. Start stir slower and increase speed with temperature. Once you are close to 60C, increase the temperature 20 degrees. Continue to raise the heat incrementally in 20-degree steps, increasing the set temperature as you near your set point. Increase temperatures incrementally until you reach 220C. You will see your first fraction somewhere between 180C and 190C or slightly before. This is the “heads” fraction. You will move to your second fraction when you see an increased reaction in the head, a slight color change toward golden, as well as a thickening of distillate. When this fraction hits, allow the distillate to “self-clean” the head for a minute or two then, rotate the cow to the middle receiving flask. Collect your “main body” fraction. You will see temps between 190-220C during this fraction. Continue to increase stirring speed as necessary. Reaction in the head may vary but it should never stop. As fluid level in the boiling flask decreases, increase stir speed. The final “tails” fraction is a mixture of the first and second fractions and should be saved for re-distillation later. Ideally, you want to turn the cow to the final flask before the tails fraction hits. The “tails” fraction has an obvious color change and will be darker than the “main body” fraction. You will see temps between 200-250C during this fraction. As fluid level in the boiling flask decreases even more, set stirring RPM higher (1000+ RPM). You may need to compensate with a bit more heat to finish of the final fraction as well. Once process is complete, stop heat, stop stir, and stop vacuum. Let atmosphere into the system. Be sure to properly store your distillate as exposure to air and light can cause oxidation. ***Note: This entire setup will ship via motor freight.*** *Notice to Customers: All units are inspected for broken glassware or parts before leaving BVV™. If the unit arrives damaged (this does not include minor imperfections or scuffs in glassware), the customer MUST contact BVV™ within 72 hours from carrier delivery to file a claim. If the customer DOES NOT contact BVV™ within 72 hours from carrier delivery, then BVV™ cannot issue any replacement(s) or compensation for the item; a new purchase will need to be made for a replacement.  BVV™ is not responsible for the failure of glassware which must be inspected before and after every use because it may eventually develop imperfections or damage through normal usage, mishandling, and stress caused by temperature variations.
