JP Selecta rotary evaporators
JP Selecta laboratory rotary evaporators enable efficient solvent evaporation under reduced pressure and controlled temperature.
As official distributors in Spain (Comecta) of the prestigious German firm Heidolph, alongside our own JP Selecta manufacturing line, we cover from 1-litre analogue models for teaching to advanced digital systems with vacuum control of 5 and 20 litres.
All units are backed by our own specialised technical service, ensuring fast preventive maintenance, traceable calibrations and guaranteed supply of original factory spare parts.
Our rotary evaporator range
Our instrumental line offers versatile solutions for laboratory vacuum distillation, adapting analytical performance to every operating budget.
Analogue rotary evaporators
Designed for 1000 ml and 2000 ml flasks. They simply regulate rotation speed and analytical bath temperature.
- Models: the compact JP Selecta RS 3001-V rotary evaporator and the basic German Hei-VAP Core series with manual lift.
- Technical advantages: The RS 3001-V model integrates a vacuum-break valve with air filter as standard, while the Hei-VAP Core offers an intuitive control with visual residual-heat warning. Both are suited to routine bench and teaching tasks.
Digital rotary evaporators with vacuum control
They support flasks up to 5000 ml with electronic speeds of 10–280 rpm driven by a quiet synchronous motor (<50 dB).
Available models: advanced Hei-VAP Expert, Hei-VAP Ultimate series and their automated Expert Control and Ultimate Control versions.
The Control versions integrate touchscreens and a smart digital vacuum controller with the AUTOaccurate (DAA) automated system, which autonomously identifies the boiling point of multiple analytical solvents, optimising processes in the pharmaceutical industry under GMP standards.
Components of the rotary evaporator
To prevent splashing and ensure stable solvent evaporation, every modular component of your analytical station is configured to measure.
Heating bath
The RS 3001-V model operates up to 100 °C with a treated bath. The Heidolph Hei-VAP series, by contrast, reaches 210 °C (±1 °C) in AISI 316L stainless steel free of exposed resistors, easing decontamination.
Condenser (vertical and oblique)
We offer standard NS 29/32 and NS 24/29 glassware. The vertical condenser (G3/G3 XL) is compact and ideal for limited spaces, while the diagonal oblique (G1) optimises recovery of volatile solvents thanks to its large cooling area. The G5 set enables the use of dry ice.
Evaporation and collection flasks
We supply evaporation flasks (100 ml to 5000 ml) in borosilicate 3.3 and spherical collection flasks with safety anti-fall plastic coating. For multiple serial distillation we support Spider-type systems with up to 20 tubes.
Vacuum pump (optional)
We supply chemical diaphragm pumps free of lubrication such as the Rotavac Valve Tec series or the Rotavac Vario Control with digital regulation. Optimal vacuum is adjusted according to the sample solvent (e.g., water ~72 mbar or ethanol ~175 mbar).
Lift motor
They integrate an ultra-smooth manual or programmable motorised lift to remove the flask from the hot bath in emergencies, with a removable control panel for remote regulation up to 1.3 metres.

What is a rotary evaporator and how does it work?
A rotary evaporator combines flask rotation, vacuum and heating to evaporate solvents quickly and efficiently at temperatures below their boiling point. It is used in chemical synthesis, extraction and sample concentration.
What is the difference between an analogue and a digital rotary evaporator?
Digital models offer precise control of rotation speed and temperature with display, memorable programs and greater reproducibility. Analogue ones are more economical and suitable for routine applications where exact precision is less critical.
What vacuum pump do I need for a rotary evaporator?
A chemical diaphragm pump with vacuum control is recommended for most applications. The required vacuum pressure depends on the solvent: water requires ~72 mbar, ethanol ~175 mbar, dichloromethane ~460 mbar at 40 °C bath.
Vertical or oblique condenser?
The vertical condenser is more compact and suited to solvents with high boiling points. The oblique one offers a larger condensation surface and better recovery of volatile, low-boiling-point solvents.
Are they compatible with equipment from other brands?
JP Selecta rotary evaporators (distributed as COMECTA/Heidolph) use standard NS 29/32 and NS 24/29 joints, compatible with universal laboratory glassware and accessories from most manufacturers.
