regulator coupled with an electronic relay to provide rapid response to temperature change; temperature con trol is said to be accurate to 0.05° Γ. Other features include a wide tempera ture range and a built-in cooling coil for operation below room temperature. The Temp Trol does not require a con tinuous water supply, since the 2'/ 2 -gal. capacity is ample for continuous circula tion. 16
A Great Forward Stride in Laboratory Evaporation
Corrosion Test Humidity Cabinet
A new humidity cabinet for testing effectiveness of corrosion preventive materials has been announced by Labline, Inc. The cabinet operates at 120° F . and is approximately 28 X 28 X 28 inches deep. It contains immersion heaters, an air manifold with diffusers, and a revolving rack which holds 33 test panels. A dual thermostat provides safety of operation.

C O M P L E T E L Y A U T O M A T I C , ROTOVAP is engineered for t h e safe, rapid and efficient evaporation of solutions— either dilute or concentrated by batch or continuous operation. Because Rotovap incorporates a unique ball bearing assembly which rapidly rotates t h e evaporating flask, frothing and "bumping" of even concentrated solutions is eliminated. The speed a t which Rotovap distills is uncanny. For ex ample, it will evaporate automatically 100 ml of aqueous solu tion a t 55° C in 10 t o 15 minutes under the reduced pressure of an ordinary water aspirator. For low boiling solvents—such as butanol—Rotovap's speed is correspondingly high. For detailed information, write for folder RV.
