RapidVap Vacuum Models
The following tables show the approximate time to
evaporate various solvents in 75mm and 16mm sample
tubes when the sample block is fully loaded. Other sample
blocks are available for different size tubes. If they are
used or if a different number of samples is run at one time,
the evaporation times can be estimated from these charts or
determined experimentally.
