Denatured ethanol, also known as denatured alcohol, is ethanol (ethyl alcohol) that has been rendered unfit for human consumption by the addition of denaturants. Denaturants are typically chemicals that make the ethanol taste bad or have toxic effects, and they are added to discourage people from drinking the substance. The denaturation process is done to avoid the high taxes and regulations associated with beverage alcohol, as denatured ethanol is intended for industrial, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic uses rather than for consumption. Common denaturants include heptane, methanol, isopropyl alcohol, acetone, and other chemicals. Denatured ethanol is widely used in various industries, such as in the production of paints, solvents, cleaning products, and as a fuel for alcohol burners. Why is Ethanol Denatured? Ethanol is denatured, or rendered undrinkable, for several reasons: Tax Purposes: Denaturing ethanol allows for the imposition of lower taxes on industrial or non-beverage alcohol compared to potable alcohol. Governments often place higher excise taxes on alcohol intended for human consumption. Regulatory Compliance: Denaturing ethanol is a regulatory requirement to discourage the illegal diversion of tax-free industrial alcohol for beverage use. The addition of denaturants makes it unpalatable and unsafe for consumption. Public Safety: Making ethanol undrinkable helps prevent accidental or intentional ingestion of industrial alcohol, which can be toxic. Denaturing agents are chosen to deter people from attempting to use denatured alcohol as a substitute for beverage alcohol. Industrial Use: Denatured ethanol is widely used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and manufacturing. It serves as a solvent, fuel, or raw material in these applications. Common denaturants include substances like heptane, methanol, isopropanol, and various chemicals that make the alcohol unsuitable for human consumption while maintaining its usability in industrial processes. The specific denaturing formulations, such as CDA 12-A mentioned earlier, are defined by regulatory agencies to ensure compliance with safety and tax regulations. What is denatured ethanol used for? Denatured ethanol is used for various industrial and commercial purposes where the alcohol is needed for its properties but should not be consumed. Here are some common applications: Industrial Solvent: Denatured ethanol is widely used as a solvent in industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and manufacturing. It is effective in dissolving a variety of substances. Cleaning Agent: Due to its solvent properties, denatured ethanol is used as a cleaning agent for surfaces, equipment, and machinery in industrial and commercial settings. Fuel Additive: Denatured ethanol is sometimes used as a fuel additive, especially in the blending of gasoline. It can improve combustion efficiency and reduce emissions. Paint and Coating Industry: It is used as a solvent in the formulation of paints, varnishes, and coatings. Pharmaceuticals: Denatured ethanol is used in the pharmaceutical industry for various purposes, including the extraction of medicinal compounds. Laboratory Use: In laboratories, denatured ethanol is often used for tasks like sterilization and as a solvent for experiments. Inks and Dyes: It is employed in the production of inks and dyes due to its ability to dissolve pigments. Adhesives and Sealants: Denatured ethanol is used in the formulation of adhesives and sealants. Window Cleaning: It is used in commercial window cleaning solutions. Automotive Industry: In the automotive industry, denatured ethanol is used for cleaning and degreasing. What can be used to denature ethanol? Here are examples of common Completely Denatured Alcohol (CDA) formulations used to denature ethanol: CDA 12-A To every 100 gallons of alcohol, add either: Five gallons of heptane or 5 gallons of toluene. CDA-19 To every 100 gallons of ethyl alcohol (not less than 160 proof), add: 4.0 gallons of either methyl isobutyl ketone, mixed isomers of nitro propane, or methyln-butyl ketone 1.0 gallon of either kerosene, deodorized kerosene, gasoline, unleaded gasoline, rubber hydrocarbon solvent, or heptane. CDA-20 To every 100 gallons of ethyl alcohol (not less than 195 proof), add a total of: 2.0 gallons of either unleaded gasoline, rubber hydrocarbon solvent, kerosene, or deodorized kerosene, or any combination of these. What does CDA mean? Completely Denatured Alcohol (CDA) is a type of denatured alcohol that has been rendered unfit for human consumption by the addition of denaturing agents. Denatured alcohol is ethanol (ethyl alcohol) that has been intentionally adulterated to make it toxic, foul-tasting, or otherwise undrinkable. This denaturing process is done to exempt the alcohol from excise duty and other taxes, as it's not intended for use in beverages. The denaturing agents used in CDA can vary, but they often include chemicals such as methanol, isopropanol, or other substances that make the alcohol unpalatable and potentially harmful if ingested. The specific formulation of denatured alcohol may be regulated by government authorities to ensure it meets safety standards and legal requirements. CDA is commonly used in industrial applications, as a solvent, fuel, or as a cleaning agent. It's important to note that due to the addition of denaturing agents, CDA should not be used for purposes that involve contact with the human body or ingestion. Safety precautions, including proper ventilation, should be followed when working with denatured alcohol. What is CDA 12A? CDA 12-A is a formulation specified by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) for Completely Denatured Alcohol (CDA). The formula is defined under §21.26 as Formula No. 12-A. The composition of CDA 12-A is as follows: For every 100 gallons of alcohol, add either: 5 gallons of n-heptane or 5 gallons of toluene. This denaturing process renders the ethanol unfit for consumption while meeting regulatory requirements for various industrial applications. CDA formulations, including CDA 12-A, are used to denature ethanol for purposes such as industrial solvents, cleaning agents, and manufacturing processes. Can you remove heptane from CDA 12A? When n-Heptane is added to ethanol it creates an azeotrope between the ethanol and n-heptane. An azeotrope is defined as a mixture of two liquids that have a constant boiling point and composition through distillation. This azeotrope results in the ethanol and n-heptane evaporating at the same temperature, making it extremely difficult to separate the two through distillation. While these azeotropic solvents are still easily recovered from a botanical extract at a relatively low boiling point around 78C/173F using a rotary evaporator or falling film evaporator, it is near impossible to separate the two via distillation. What is an Azeotrope? An azeotrope is a mixture characterized by having identical concentrations in both its vapor and liquid phases. This stands in contrast to ideal solutions, where one component is usually more volatile than the other, allowing for separation through distillation. When an azeotrope forms, the concentrations in both phases remain the same, hindering separation through traditional distillation methods. Azeotropes consist of a blend of at least two different liquids, and this mixture can exhibit either a higher or lower boiling point than either of its individual components. Azeotropes become relevant when certain liquid fractions resist alteration through distillation processes. In typical mixtures, components can be extracted using Fractional Distillation, a process involving repeated distillation stages. The more volatile component vaporizes and is collected separately, while the less volatile component remains in the distillation container, resulting in two distinct, pure solutions.

Industrial Cleaning: Hexane's strong solvent properties make it effective for cleaning and degreasing industrial machinery, equipment, and parts. It is often used in maintenance and manufacturing settings to remove oils, greases, and other contaminants. Adhesive Manufacturing: Hexane is used in the production of adhesives, including those used in the shoe and leather goods industry. It helps dissolve and disperse adhesive components. Paints and Coatings: In the paint and coatings industry, hexane can be found in some formulations, especially in solvent-based paint systems. It can help adjust the viscosity and improve the application properties of coatings. Nail Polish Remover: Some nail polish removers contain hexane as a solvent to help dissolve and remove nail polish quickly and effectively. Hexane as a Fuel: While not a major use, hexane can be used as a fuel in some internal combustion engines. However, this application is less common than its use as a solvent. It's important to note that hexane is flammable and can pose health risks if not handled properly. Exposure to hexane vapor should be minimized, and safety precautions, such as proper ventilation and the use of personal protective equipment, should be followed when working with this chemical. What Is The Structure of Hexane? Hexane is an organic compound with the molecular formula C6H14. It belongs to the class of hydrocarbons known as alkanes, which are characterized by single bonds between carbon atoms. Hexane specifically has a linear or straight-chain structure, meaning that its carbon atoms are arranged in a continuous chain. The structural formula of hexane is as follows: In this structural formula, each "C" represents a carbon atom, and each "H" represents a hydrogen atom. Hexane has six carbon atoms and 14 hydrogen atoms, consistent with its molecular formula (C6H14). The carbon-carbon bonds in hexane are all single bonds, resulting in a saturated hydrocarbon structure. This linear arrangement of carbon atoms is a characteristic feature of straight-chain alkanes. How Is Hexane Produced? Hexane is typically produced from the refining of crude oil, and its production involves several steps, including distillation and fractionation. Here is an overview of the process: Crude Oil Refining: Hexane is derived from the hydrocarbon fraction of crude oil. Crude oil is first refined in a petroleum refinery to separate it into various fractions based on boiling points. Hexane is obtained from one of these fractions, usually the naphtha or distillate fractions, which contain hydrocarbons with six carbon atoms. Distillation: The selected fraction from the crude oil is subjected to a distillation process to separate it further into its constituent hydrocarbons based on their boiling points. Hexane is separated from other hydrocarbons with similar boiling points during this step. Fractionation: After distillation, the fraction containing hexane is further fractionated to isolate pure hexane. Fractionation involves additional distillation steps to separate hexane from any remaining impurities or hydrocarbons with different carbon chain lengths. Purification: To ensure the final product is of high purity, the hexane is subjected to purification processes, such as solvent extraction or adsorption, to remove any remaining impurities, including sulfur compounds and aromatics. Quality Control: The purified hexane undergoes rigorous quality control testing to ensure it meets industry and regulatory standards. This includes testing for purity, composition, and the absence of contaminants. Packaging: The final purified hexane is typically packaged and stored for distribution to various industries and applications. It's important to note that there are different isomers of hexane, including n-hexane, which is a straight-chain hexane, and various branched-chain isomers (isohexanes). The specific isomer produced and its purity level can vary based on the intended use of the hexane. For industrial and laboratory use, high-purity n-hexane is often preferred. The production of hexane is an important part of the petrochemical industry, as it serves as a solvent in various applications, including extraction, cleaning, and as a carrier for certain industrial processes. What Are The Hazards of Hexane? Hexane is a chemical solvent that poses several health and safety hazards. It's essential to handle hexane with care and be aware of its potential risks. Here are some of the hazards associated with hexane exposure: Inhalation Hazard: Hexane vapors can be harmful when inhaled. Breathing in high concentrations of hexane vapor may lead to symptoms such as dizziness, headache, nausea, eye and throat irritation, and in severe cases, unconsciousness. Nervous System Effects: Prolonged exposure to hexane, particularly n-hexane (a common isomer of hexane), can damage the nervous system. This condition is known as "hexane neuropathy" or "peripheral neuropathy." It may cause numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, and coordination problems in the hands and feet. Skin Irritation: Hexane can irritate the skin upon direct contact. Prolonged skin exposure or contact with hexane-containing solutions can lead to skin dryness, redness, and irritation. Eye Irritation: Contact with hexane may cause eye irritation, including redness, tearing, and discomfort. Flammability: Hexane is highly flammable and can form explosive mixtures with air. It should be stored away from open flames, sparks, and heat sources. Environmental Impact: Spills or releases of hexane into the environment can have adverse effects on aquatic life and ecosystems. Hexane is not easily biodegradable and can persist in the environment. Chronic Health Effects: Long-term exposure to hexane may lead to chronic health effects, particularly neurological damage. Workers who are regularly exposed to hexane, such as in industrial settings, should take precautions to minimize exposure. Carcinogenicity: Some studies suggest that n-hexane may have carcinogenic potential, although the evidence is not conclusive. It is classified as a Group 3 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which means it is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans due to inadequate evidence. To minimize the risks associated with hexane, it is crucial to follow safety guidelines and use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when working with hexane-containing products. Proper ventilation, such as using fume hoods or working in well-ventilated areas, can help reduce inhalation exposure. Additionally, employers should provide training to employees on the safe handling and storage of hexane, along with emergency response procedures in case of spills or accidents. How Do I Use Hexane Safely? Using hexane safely requires following proper safety precautions and guidelines to minimize the risks associated with this chemical solvent. Here are some safety tips for handling hexane safely: Use Adequate Ventilation: Always work with hexane in well-ventilated areas, such as a fume hood or with proper exhaust systems. Adequate ventilation helps to reduce exposure to hexane vapors. Wear Protective Gear: When working with hexane, wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety goggles, lab coats, chemical-resistant gloves, and closed-toe shoes. The specific PPE requirements may vary based on the task and the concentration of hexane being used. Avoid Skin Contact: Prevent skin contact with hexane by wearing chemical-resistant gloves and long-sleeved clothing. In case of skin contact, wash the affected area with plenty of water and soap. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. Prevent Eye Contact: Protect your eyes with safety goggles or a face shield. In case of eye contact, flush the eyes with clean, lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. No Eating, Drinking, or Smoking: Do not eat, drink, or smoke while working with hexane or in areas where hexane is used. Contaminated hands or surfaces can transfer hexane to the mouth, leading to ingestion. Handle in Controlled Environment: Perform tasks involving hexane in a controlled environment away from open flames, sparks, heat sources, and ignition sources. Hexane is highly flammable and can form explosive mixtures with air. Label Containers: Ensure that containers holding hexane are properly labeled with appropriate hazard warnings and information. Store Properly: Store hexane containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Use Minimal Amounts: Use the smallest amount of hexane necessary to complete your task. Minimizing the quantity of hexane used reduces potential exposure. Emergency Equipment: Have access to emergency equipment, such as eye wash stations and safety showers, in case of accidental exposure. Know the location of fire extinguishers and fire alarm systems. Training: Ensure that personnel working with hexane are trained in its safe handling, storage, and disposal. Training should cover hazard recognition, first aid procedures, and emergency response protocols. Spill Response: In case of a hexane spill, follow your organization's spill response procedures. This may include containing the spill, using absorbent materials to soak up the liquid, and disposing of contaminated materials properly. Dispose of Hexane Waste Properly: Dispose of hexane waste in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Hexane waste should be collected and disposed of as hazardous waste. Regular Maintenance: Inspect equipment and storage containers regularly to ensure they are in good condition and free from leaks or damage. Medical Monitoring: If workers are regularly exposed to hexane, consider implementing a medical monitoring program to track their health and detect early signs of exposure-related issues. It's essential to familiarize yourself with the specific safety guidelines and procedures established by your organization or regulatory authorities when working with hexane, as they may vary depending on the application and concentration of hexane being used.

Pump Warranty Information: Customers using solvents such as stabilization resins (MinWax™, Gator Venom™ etc.), alcohol and other polar solvents must use the vacuum pumps in conjunction with a cold trap for evacuations in excess of 5 minutes. (Exludes Cactus Juice™) If the consumer is using the pump for prolonged periods of time exceeding 5 minutes we require that a cold trap is used or the pump warranty is void. These stabilization resins have the ability to break down the internal components of the pump that are plastic resulting in a seized motor voiding all warranties. When evacuation exceeds 5 minutes these solvents begin to vaporize and then re-condense in the vacuum pump reservoir. Once enough solvent re-condenses in the pump displacing the oil the plastic internal components may begin to warp, melt or seize. The use of a cold trap will condense the vapors prior to making their way to the vacuum pump preventing pump damage due to excessive use. Furthermore, Minwax Wood Hardener™ is not to be used with any vacuum pumps, EVER. (A seized motor will result within the first use.) To prevent these issues from happening to your process, change the Oil after each vacuum pump use, Even if the use time is only 5min.

Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol or wood alcohol, is a type of alcohol with the chemical formula CH3OH. It is the simplest alcohol, consisting of a methyl group (CH3) linked to a hydroxyl group (OH). Methanol is a colorless, flammable liquid with a slightly sweet odor. It is commonly used as an industrial solvent, antifreeze, fuel, and as a feedstock in the production of chemicals, plastics, and synthetic materials. Methanol can be synthesized from various sources, including natural gas, carbon monoxide, and biomass. It is considered a hazardous substance due to its toxicity when ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Methanol is also used as an industrial and laboratory solvent and as a fuel in some types of racing cars and model engines. One important thing to note is that methanol is highly toxic when consumed, and even small amounts can be lethal. It should never be ingested, and safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance. What Is Methanol Used For? Methanol is used for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and laboratory applications. Some of its common uses include: Fuel: Methanol is used as an alternative fuel in some types of vehicles, particularly racing cars and model engines. It is also used in the production of biodiesel and as a fuel additive. Solvent: Methanol is a versatile solvent that can dissolve a variety of substances, making it useful in industries such as paint, varnish, and ink production. It is also used as a cleaning agent in laboratories and industrial settings. Antifreeze: Methanol is an essential component of some antifreeze formulations, where it helps prevent the freezing of engine coolant in cold temperatures. Chemical Intermediate: Methanol serves as a key building block in the production of various chemicals and materials, including formaldehyde, acetic acid, methyl methacrylate (used in plastics and coatings), and more. Fuel Cell Feedstock: Methanol can be used as a feedstock for the production of hydrogen, which can be used in fuel cells for electricity generation and other applications. Preservative: In the pharmaceutical and personal care industries, methanol is used as a preservative in some products. Denaturant: Methanol is added to industrial ethanol to make it unfit for consumption (denatured). This ensures that the ethanol cannot be used for drinking purposes and is used for industrial applications. Laboratory Reagent: Methanol is commonly used in laboratories as a reagent and solvent for various chemical experiments and analyses. Extraction: It is used in some extraction processes, such as the extraction of essential oils from plants. Energy Storage: Methanol is being explored as a potential energy carrier for energy storage and transportation, particularly in the form of methanol fuel cells. It's important to note that methanol is toxic to humans and should be handled with care. Ingesting or inhaling methanol vapors can be extremely dangerous and potentially fatal. Proper safety precautions and handling procedures are necessary when working with methanol. What Is The Structure of Methanol? Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, has a simple chemical structure. Its molecular formula is CH3OH, which represents one carbon (C) atom, four hydrogen (H) atoms, and one oxygen (O) atom bonded together. Here's the structural formula of methanol: In this structure: The central carbon atom (C) is bonded to three hydrogen atoms (H) and one oxygen atom (O). The oxygen atom is bonded to the carbon atom through a single covalent bond (C-O). The remaining three hydrogen atoms are bonded to the carbon atom, completing its four covalent bonds. Methanol is a polar molecule due to the electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen atoms, which results in a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms and a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom. This polarity gives methanol its unique chemical properties and makes it a versatile solvent in various applications. What are the Hazards of Methanol? Methanol, while commonly used in various industrial and laboratory applications, poses several hazards, primarily due to its toxic and flammable nature. Here are some of the hazards associated with methanol: Toxicity: Methanol is highly toxic to humans when ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. The toxic effects are primarily due to its metabolites, formaldehyde, and formic acid. Methanol poisoning can lead to symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and in severe cases, it can cause blindness, organ failure, and death. Flammability: Methanol is flammable and can form explosive mixtures in the air when its vapor concentration is within certain limits. It has a relatively low flashpoint, making it susceptible to ignition by heat, sparks, or open flames. Proper storage and handling precautions are essential to prevent fire hazards. Irritant: Methanol can be irritating to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Contact with methanol vapor or liquid can lead to skin irritation, redness, and chemical burns. Inhaling methanol vapor can irritate the respiratory system and cause coughing and throat irritation. Environmental Impact: Methanol is harmful to the environment. Spills or releases of methanol can contaminate soil and water, posing a risk to aquatic life and ecosystems. It is important to handle and dispose of methanol responsibly to minimize its environmental impact. Incompatibility: Methanol should not be stored or transported in containers or systems that have previously held incompatible materials, as it can react with some substances and form hazardous compounds. Cumulative Exposure: Prolonged or repeated exposure to methanol vapor or mist over time can result in cumulative health effects, particularly on the central nervous system and the optic nerve. Ingestion Risk: Methanol has a sweet taste and is sometimes mistaken for ethanol (the alcohol found in alcoholic beverages). Accidental ingestion of methanol can occur, especially if it is stored in containers that are not clearly labeled. To safely handle methanol and mitigate these hazards, it is crucial to follow strict safety protocols, use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), store methanol in well-ventilated areas away from open flames, and provide proper training to personnel working with methanol. Emergency response plans and first-aid measures for methanol exposure should also be in place in case of accidents or spills. How Do I Use Methanol Safely? Using methanol safely is essential due to its toxic and flammable nature. Whether you're working with methanol in a laboratory, industrial setting, or other applications, here are some guidelines for safe handling: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear appropriate PPE, including safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves, a lab coat or chemical-resistant apron, and closed-toe shoes. Consider additional protective gear, such as a face shield, when handling large quantities or performing high-risk operations. Storage: Store methanol in well-ventilated areas away from heat sources, open flames, and direct sunlight. Use containers made of materials compatible with methanol, such as glass or approved plastic containers. Label containers clearly with the contents. Ensure proper labeling and hazard signage in storage areas. Handling: Handle methanol in a fume hood or well-ventilated workspace to minimize inhalation exposure. Do not use methanol near open flames, sparks, or heat sources. Avoid skin contact; wear gloves and lab coats to prevent skin exposure. Use a face shield or safety goggles to protect your eyes. Spill Response: Have spill kits and absorbent materials (e.g., spill pads, spill pillows) available for immediate use. In the event of a spill, ventilate the area, and contain the spill to prevent it from spreading. Wear appropriate PPE when cleaning up spills. Follow your workplace's spill response procedures and dispose of contaminated materials properly. Storage and Dispensing: Use safety containers designed for methanol when dispensing or transferring the liquid. Never use glassware or containers that have been used for other chemicals without thorough cleaning. Ensure proper grounding and bonding when transferring methanol to prevent static electricity buildup. Inhalation Exposure: Minimize inhalation exposure by working in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood. If you suspect inhalation exposure, move to an area with fresh air and seek medical attention if symptoms persist. Ingestion Prevention: Do not eat, drink, or smoke in areas where methanol is handled. Avoid using containers or equipment that may be contaminated with methanol for food or beverage storage. Fire Safety: Methanol is flammable; keep it away from open flames, sparks, and heat sources. Use explosion-proof electrical equipment in areas where methanol vapors may be present. Emergency Response: Familiarize yourself with the location of safety showers, eyewash stations, fire extinguishers, and emergency exits. Know the location of first-aid supplies and procedures for methanol exposure. Training and Education: Ensure that personnel handling methanol are properly trained in its safe handling, storage, and emergency response procedures. Waste Disposal: Dispose of methanol waste in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations for hazardous waste disposal.

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.
