    The document outlines Buchi's 20/40/60 rule for optimal distillation parameters using a rotary evaporator. The water bath temperature should be set to 60°C, the cooling water temperature below 20°C, and the vacuum adjusted according to the boiling point of 40°C for the solvent being used. These guidelines provide temperature and vacuum settings that maximize efficiency during rotary evaporation according to the solvent's properties.

    Buchi 20/40/60 rule for Rotary Evaporators

    Optimal Distillation parameters for a rotary evaporator vary according to solvent in use:
    1. Set water bath temperature to 60oC – It does not need to be higher!
    2. The cooling water temperature should be below 20oC.
    3. Adjust the needed vacuum for a solvent boiling point of 40oC according to list below.
