founded in 1938 as a manufacturer of precision drive motors and engineering is a manufacturer of high quality laboratory equipment specializing in rotary evaporation shakers overhead stirrers peristaltic pumps and magnetic hotplate stirrers . the organization is headquartered in schwabach a city within close proximity to nuremberg germany . it is there that the development and production of equipment ; as well as the coordination of sales and customer support activities are located . heidolph north america is a subsidiary of heidolph gmbh originally founded as heidolph brinkmann llc in 2008 . heidolph north america supports and services heidolph tuttnauer sterilizers autoclaves heidolph radleys synthesis tools along with their complete line of heidolph products . the organization s headquarters is located just outside of chicago il . 1 product divisions edit rotary evaporators edit hei vap precision heidolph rotary evaporators are used for standard distillation crystallization product concentration powder drying and separation of one or several solvents . rotary evaporators are now being used in more and more laboratory kitchens as well . 2 there is a wide variety of accessories available for the rotary evaporator including vacuum pumps vacuum controllers temperature sensors and glassware . for pilot plants and industrial use most scientists require large scale 20 liter rotary evaporators . the relationship between the pressure and vapor temperature of a selection of solvents should be considered when distilling . 3 the temperature difference between the vapor temperature and cooling medium should be at 20c to result in sufficient condensation . the temperature difference between the heating bath and vapor temperature should be at 20c to reach a sufficient distillation rate . magnetic stirrers edit mr hei tec with pt1000 heidolph magnetic stirrers are used for smooth to intense mixing of low viscosity fluids . 4 depending on the application they are able to mix and heat at the same time . they are the first choice for decomposing organic and inorganic substances . mr hei standard and mr hei end are a few models of the magnetic stirrer line where you can set the amount of heat and speed required for substance manipulation . overhead stirrers edit rzr 2051 control overhead stirrers or laboratory stirrers not to be confused with magnetic stirrers are used for standard mixing of the higher viscosity substances . they essentially are mixers used for suspending gas intrusion and recirculation . companies and scientist alike use these for mixing paint chemicals used on cars to mixing shampoos and conditioner components . the torque stirring capacity and viscosity max should be reviewed when picking out the correct stirrer for your application . shakers and mixers edit promax 1020 this line is used for mixing and heating of small or large wells in biology microbiology medical diagnosis and biochemistry . there are 6 separate motions including vibrating orbital reciprocal wave rocking and overhead . the variety of motions are used for shaking samples cultivation cells to sample separation . accessories may be needed depending on the scientist s application and compound sizes . vortexers edit reax top vortexer vortexers are ideal for mixing samples in eppendorf tubes vials and similar vessels of different diameters at extremely high speed rates . the ridged mixing orbit yields consistnet results and is ideal for product dissolution . the reax top and reax control both have a strong 5mm vibration orbit while having the continuous or regular mode . the multi reax is a unique vortexer in the fact that it can accommodate up to 26 vessels with various diameters instead of doing one at a time . there is a 3mm vibration orbit which allows for excellent mixing results in large and solid samples . peristaltic pumps edit pd 5106 peristaltic pumps are ideal for pumping corrosive viscous and abrasive materials . different tubing sizes and material allow for numerous applications . peristaltic pumps are generally used in the pharmaceutical biotechnology food pilot plant industries and in research laboratories . 5 heidolph tuttnauer sterilizers edit 2540ep 10in chamber autoclave tuttnauer has been designing and manufacturing a wide range of sterilizers for more than 90 years . heidolph north america is the supplier of benchtop vertical hybrid and industrial sterilizers to the laboratory pharma division of the market . with over 50 units to choose from it is very important to match up the correct sterilizer based on company regulations and application . in fiction edit heidolph rotary evaporators can be seen in newly released blockbusters such as the 2012 comedy the 5 year engagement and 2012 epic comic based movie the avengers during the lab scene on the ship . heidolph laborota evaporator and modular concept shaker was shown several times in the 2009 sci fi movie splice . the evaporator can be seen in the lab scene when sarah polley is doing research . in avatar a 2009 american epic science fiction film the heidolph rotary evaporator is used in one of their many laboratories . the rotary evaporator can be seen in the i am legend movie in the basement of will smith s protected home lab . references edit company . heidolph north america . retrieved 12 september
