OPTIMIZING LAB OPERATIONS TO INCREASE FINANCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND STAFFING EFFICIENCY
Explore how equipment selection improves daily operations
Choosing the right lab equipment can reduce costs, energy and water consumption, use of materials and reagents, space required, and staff time needed to deliver results. This will result in a more efficient and profitable lab that is up to the task of today's unique challenges.
THE BENEFITS OF IMPROVED LAB INFRASTRUCTURE
One-size-fits-all approaches to lab activities cost labs money. Modern lab equipment can address some of the challenges labs face today.
Efficiency
The best way to reduce operational costs for the lab is to reduce staff time and the materials required by streamlining workflows:
Simplify the workflows by combining activities when possible
Reduce walk time by placing equipment used together near each other
Upgrade software to to better manage data, speed up decisions, monitor outcomes, and seamlessly share information with other applications
Automate repetitive tasks
Take advantage of parallel processing
These activities can save staff time enabling them to do other, higher value work in the lab. Some estimate that the savings can be in the order of 30 - 40 percent of staff time.
Accuracy and precision
Many labs face bottlenecks in quality review of results, so reducing the scope of the quality reviews increases throughput for the lab and reduces the amount of rework required to fix issues that old lab equipment can contribute to.
Environmental sustainability
Modern lab equipment can help labs meet their sustainability and environmental goals with lower consumption of energy, water, and materials to achieve
even better technical results than previous generation tools. Investing in new equipment can enable the lab to meet organizational sustainability expectations and help the lab be a better neighbor to its community.
Some modern lab equipment can even help recover valuable chemicals for the lab, resulting in less expense in buying new materials, less cost to properly dispose of waste, and less impact on the environment.
Choosing the right lab equipment can reduce costs, energy and water consumption, use of materials and reagents, space required, and staff time needed to deliver results."
Reimagining space
Using modern equipment to reduce footprints and increase throughput enables even more technical results with less space and less staff time, enabling fewer staff to focus on these tasks and deliver higher quality data.
Added safety measures for staff
Safety incidents cost labs in many labs, starting with injured people, lower morale, time, and money. Modern lab equipment helps labs improve safety and reduce risks to staff with features like automatic shut-off settings.
THE BENEFITS OF AN EXPERIENCED INDUSTRY PARTNER
Nothing can replace the expertise of an industry partner who knows your story. They can advise you of the best equipment for your unique situation and needs, improving your lab work substantially.
For example, Heidolph's new hot plates are compatible with stirrers, capable of mixing low-viscosity media, with a maximum capacity of 20 liters. The hot plate's small physical footprint increases efficiency while also acting as a replacement for oil baths, enabling parallel reactions, and can be used for reflux reactions. Paired with a 10 year warranty, Heidolph hot plates enable labs to invest in their science with high-quality equipment.
Addressing many lab challenges, Heidolph's Hei- VOLUME Distimatic system can reduce operating costs, optimize functional sequences, and enable multiplexing of samples, reducing time and reagents required.
Automating long evaporation processes reduces heating and cooling times, lowering electricity usage.
Eliminating the need for a flask change increases the distillation rate, drastically reducing the time required compared to manual operation. Automating
evaporation processes means less downtime and more productivity during the day, as the apparatus can be left unattended while running.
For labs facing mounting costs of repair, maintenance, and upkeep for their rotary evaporators, Heidolph's roto- vap systems come with a multi-stage quality check guarantee. Reducing costly repairs and downtime positively impacts both staffing and financial costs and reduces the added environmental and financial cost of repair technician visits. The HEI-VAP series in particular won the Most Innovative Laboratory Equipment award, Red Dot Design Award, and IF Design Award in 2019 for its groundbreaking design.

OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES FOR MAGNETIC STIRRING WITH HEAT
THE OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF PATIO HEATERS
Heating hoods are semicircular electrical radiators for round bottom flasks. Depending on the flask size, heating hoods dispose of 1 or 2 heating zones. For use with an external magnetic stirrer, specific heating hoods with a bottom hole are commercially available.
The flexible material of the heating mantle boasts even heating due to even distribution of the reaction liquid.
The heating rate of worked heating hoods cannot keep up with a powerful magnetic stirrer with heating function. An internal comparative measurement of
a heating hood and a Heidolph Mix n' Heat Core+ magnetic stirrer model showed that the heating hood needed 31 minutes to heat 800 mL of water in a
1-l-round bottom flask to 100 °C, whereas the magnetic stirrer with heating function only needed 17 minutes.
Note: Heating hoods should only be used in combination with an additional temperature control for chemical reactions. If the
heating temperature is not carefully set and monitored, the heating elements may heat substances past their boiling point, potentially reducing reproducibility, or resulting in glass breakage. Make sure to pay close attention to the available safety features of heat conductors, residual current devices, and insulation of the heat conductors against liquids when selecting a heating hood.
Heat accelerates the speed of chemical reactions and solution processes. Today, electrically heated devices are used due to safety concerns, replacing the open flames of the past.
THE OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF A MAGNETIC STIRRER WITH HEATING FUNCTION
Stirring and heating of low-viscosity solutions as well as of liquids with a low solid content using magnetic stirrers is a necessary component of most laboratories. Under the plate of the magnetic stirring device, there is a permanent magnet which is set in rotation by a small speed-controlled electric motor, generating a rotating magnetic field. In the reaction vessel, there is the magnetic mating portion, the stirring bar which is kept on the bottom of the vessel by the magnetic forces and
which is set into a rotating motion at the same time. The solution gradually mixes in the resulting water vortex.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL ACCESSORIES FOR MAGNETIC STIRRERS WITH HEATING FUNCTION
Synthesis, extraction, distillation, sublimation, crystallization and reflux reactions are common
applications of magnetic stirrers with heating function. For approximately 80 percent of these applications, accessories are used to securely, precisely, and properly control the temperature of the solution in the reaction vessel.
Direct heat input | Indirect heat input |
Typical application: Production of solutions (salts and other soluble solids) or agar-agar solutions while stirring and heating in the open beaker or Erlenmeyer flask. The reaction vessel (e.g., Erlenmeyer flask or flat- bottomed beaker) is placed on the heating plate. The heat input is directly against the glass and contained solution. Uneven temperature distribution and resultant poor temperature control in comparison to indirect heating is a limitation of this method. | Typical application: Heating under reflux, refluxing and dropping, extracting, reactions with water separator or distillation. Liquid baths are the most common method used to transmit heat indirectly to a reaction vessel. The benefits of this method are high thermal conductivity, a high level of control, and a good temperature distribution. Water has a high heat capacity but is only suitable as a heat transfer medium for temperatures above 70 °C because of its low boiling point. If higher temperatures higher than 250 °C are necessary for the reaction, then water-soluble polyethylene glycol and silicone oil can be used for open heating baths. The most important advantages are the low evaporation rate and toxicity, the high heat resistance in the air as well as a low chemical reactivity. |
Direct vs. indirect heat input
Note: The most important disadvantages of indirect heating are the slow heating rate, risk of burns and equipment damage, the high operating costs (e.g., oil has to be changed regularly), and costly disposal. Oil bath liquid can drip down from the round bottom flask, causing contamination. Further, if it settles on the reaction vessel, the vessel must be thoroughly cleaned so future experiments are not
compromised. If water drips down from the cooling liquid tubes above the oil bath, an explosive evaporation can occur. A burning oil bath has to be extinguished with a special cover, rather than water or CO2.
INDIRECT HEATING ACCESSORY OPTIONS
Crystallization cup for water baths
Crystallization cups, like all reaction vessels, are made of water-resistant, chemical-resistant and temperature- resistant inert borosilicate glass.
The high temperatures of the bath liquids carry the risk of serious burns or injuries. When crystallization cups
are used in oil baths, the oil often reaches the outside as it expands while heating. Heating baths are usually placed on a lab jack to separate the reaction flask quickly from the heat source. When lowering the lab jack, the oil bath can slide down from the top plate of the magnetic stirrer and can break. Spilled bath liquid also increases the risk of slippage, and the residues must be absorbed with tissue papers and solvent or an oil absorbent and must be properly disposed of.
The heating bath/bath pot
The secure alternative to the crystallization cup is a heating bath or heating pot. These means carry no risk of slipping, glass breakage and possess side
handles for easy transport. Heidolph bath attachments are available from a capacity of 1 to 4 liters. They
are compatible with all Hei-PLATE magnetic stirrers with heating function, fit perfectly on the top plate, preventing slippage. In the standard version, they are made of the material aluminum, known for its high thermal conductivity. They are available with a high- temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant, non-stick coating and are then universally suitable as heating and oil baths.
Heat-On™ metal reaction block attachments
Metal reaction blocks can replace the oil bath as heat transfer media for almost every application. They have one or more semicircular, custom-fit recesses for a large number of vessels such as standard
round-bottom flasks, necked flasks, vials and multiple sizes of test tubes. The reaction blocks are placed
on the heating plate of the magnetic stirrer and transmit the heat to the reaction vessel. Most of the commercially available reaction blocks are made of anodized aluminum, which is a thermal conductor and not ferromagnetic, so it will not interfere with the magnetic stirrer.
Improved safety
Heat-On™ attachments are safer to use than oil baths. The attachments reduce the risk of serious burns considerably, and the risk of evaporation due to dripping water is completely eliminated. There is
also no risk of slipping on spilled oil or water. Because of the specially shaped deep wells, there is no risk
of glass breakage. For safe removal of the heating plate, using the optional safety lifting handles, which can be inserted in two openings at the edge of the Heat-On™ attachment or of the Multi-Well holder, is recommended.
Easier cleaning
When using oil baths and while removing the test tubes, bath liquid can drip, contaminating the surrounding laboratory environment. This risk can be eliminated by using a dry Heat-On™ attachment. The nonstick coating of the attachments and Multi-Well inserts enables easy cleaning of the devices.
Faster heating and processing times
All Heat-On™ blocks are low in material and weight, meaning they heat up quickly and evenly, without heat islands. The wells enclose every flask tightly and provide maximum surface contact. This ensures the lowest heating times and minimizes the temperature difference between the block and the reagent liquid.
For measuring the temperature outside the medium, an external PT 1000 temperature sensor can be inserted in an opening of the Heat-On™ wall.
Improved economical design
Compared to conventional heating baths, the design of Heat-On™ reduces the heating times by more than 60 percent, resulting in both energy and financial savings for the laboratory. The safety covers can reduce the energy consumption during long-term operation by an additional 15 percent because they function as a thermal insulation of the Heat-On™ reaction blocks. Finally,
the lack of potentially expensive heating bath liquid makes the Heat-On™ attachments more economical, sustainable and greener because there is no need to buy heating bath liquid, pay to dispose of it, or generate additional garbage by using cleaning supplies.
The StarFish Workstation
The compact and flexible StarFish system has been developed for parallel execution of applications such as heating, refluxing, extracting and the Soxhlet extraction. Compared to the Heat-On™ attachment, this accessory for magnetic stirrers offers three other advantages
for daily stirring tasks in the laboratory: improved process efficiency, space-saving setup and flexibility for different vessel sizes. On Heidolph magnetic stirrers, up to 45 samples can be placed simultaneously in common reaction vessels from 10 mL to 250 mL. The recommended maximum temperature for continuous use is up to 260 °C.
Space-saving, compact design
The StarFish system creates order in the laboratory fume hood because it contains interlocking parts. Whether the
desired task is a complex setup with reflux condensers or simple stirring tasks in small reaction vessels, the lateral space requirement is marginally wider than the aluminum base plate lying on the magnetic stirrer and transferring heat to the reaction vessels.
Flexibility increases sample throughput
The system parts can be combined individually, depending on the requirements. MonoBlocks, as the name suggests, are one-part reaction blocks with 5 to maximum 40 recesses for uniformly sized reaction vessels. With PolyBlocks, up to 5 reaction block segments can be combined for different vessel sizes.
Apparatuses for Soxhlet extraction, distillation, and stirring under reflux can be installed in a fast, secure and space saving way with additional accessories such as the support rod, the 5-way telescopic clamp as well as the gas or vacuum or water manifold. The flexibility and the wide range of equipment mean higher acquisition costs compared to the Heat-On™ attachments.
Health and safety are of utmost importance in the laboratory. With ever-increasing sustainability and energy eficiency requirements for laboratories, careful selection of equipment can help today's scientists meet their environmental sustainability goals. Heidolph accessory parts for magnetic stirrers with heating function offer the possibility to reduce process times, to work more productively while also increasing the sample throughput.
REFLUX DISTILLATION 101
Increased safety and sustainability requirements for laboratories have prompted the development of new reflux condensers without water cooling. Heidolph offers an efficient, air cooled reflux system as a solution.
WHY REFLUXING?
Refluxing is one of the most common working methods for organic synthesis. Many chemical reactions
only take place under heat or are accelerated by an increased reaction temperature. Reflux condensers are used to prevent the solvent of a reaction mixture from evaporating even when it is heated for extended periods of time.
AIR COOLED OR WATER COOLED: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
The refluxing principle is as simple as it is ingenious: The boiling vapor from the solution in the flask rises vertically upwards in the glass column, condenses on the cooling surfaces and drops back into the flask as liquid condensate. Cooling inside a reflux condenser takes place according to the heat exchanger principle.
Water cooled: Tap water is often used as coolant. Like a water sheath, it flows around the reflux column on the inside of which the boiling vapor rises. Convexities on the inner side walls of the column or cooling coils enlarge the cooling surface.
Air cooled: In some reflux condenser systems, heat exchange with the ambient air takes place only on the outer surfaces of the glass column. Thus, the column must be accordingly high to be able to dissipate heat to the environment. Conversely, the Findenser™ reflux condenser system is equipped with a finned aluminum jacket, which multiplies the heat exchanger surface in a compact way.
SAFETY IN THE LABORATORY HAS MANY FACETS
If you have ever witnessed how fast a hose can come off a water cooled reflux condenser
and the immense damage caused by a flood in a laboratory, you will appreciate an air cooled laboratory condenser as a true alternative. Laboratory equipment worth thousands of dollars can be destroyed overnight because roughly 2.5 liters per minute flow through a water cooled reflux system. In addition, the lack of
any tubing in air cooled reflux condensers means that there is no risk of the tubing coming into contact with hotplates (leakages).
WATER CONSUMPTION AND COOLING COSTS
An average of 150 liters of water flow through a water cooled reflux condenser per hour. Many laboratories have installed recirculating chillers or central water recirculating systems to reduce the enormous water consumption during refluxing. However, even cooling the coolant requires energy.
A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS
Traditional air cooled reflux condensers have a low cooling capacity, making them unsuitable for highly volatile, low-boiling solvents. This applies to the vast majority of common solvents used for syntheses.
Although the Findenser™ is also air cooled, it offers an excellent cooling capacity thanks to its highly thermally conductive aluminum cooling fins and is suitable for around 95 percent of all chemical syntheses. These common solvents are already successfully used with the Findenser™ for chemical synthesis without any appreciable volume loss:
Hydrocarbons: e.g. pentane, hexane, cyclohexane, heptane
Chlorinated solvents: e.g. dichloromethane (DCM), chloroform
Alcohols: e.g. methanol, ethanol, isopropanol
Aromatic hydrocarbons: e.g. toluene, xylene, benzene
Miscellaneous: Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), acetone, tetrahydrofuran (THF), ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, dimethyl furan (DMF) and others
IT'S BEST TO TEST SOLVENT VOLUME
The volume of solvent being used is a determining factor for solvent loss during refluxing. Traditional, air cooled reflux condensers are usually not efficient
enough for larger volumes. At high volatility, too much,
if not all, of the solvent is lost relatively quickly. Even the air cooled Findenser™, despite its significantly higher cooling capacity, sometimes reaches its limits. To be safe, carry out a test under real conditions with highly volatile solvents like ether before the actual test (always work in the fume hood while doing so).
THE NEED FOR ACCURATE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The control temperature set at the hotplate of the Findenser™ should be 10 - 15 °C / 50 - 59 °F above the boiling point of the solvent used. If it is too high or strongly fluctuates, the solvent can boil over, damaging the sample.
SUITABLE FOR ALMOST ALL AMBIENT CONDITIONS
The higher the ambient temperature, the worse the performance. Compared to water cooled models, the ambient temperature plays an important role in air cooled reflux condensers. For this and safety reasons, refluxing in a fume hood is recommended.
When deciding which reflux condenser to purchase, you should always weigh the running expenses for water and cooling energy against the purchase price.
CASE STUDIES IN SUSTAINABILITY
Learn how today's laboratories are improving their sustainability
SUSTAINABLE ACETONE RECYCLING
Universities have an important role to play in promoting sustainability. As centers of research and learning, universities are uniquely positioned to advance the development and implementation of sustainable practices across a wide range of disciplines. This includes developing new technologies and processes that reduce environmental impact, as well as promoting sustainable practices in areas such as food systems, transportation, and energy use.
Furthermore, many universities have a tight budget, which brings about another problem: the rising costs of raw materials. Especially since the Covid-19 pandemic, solvents like acetone, ethanol, hexane, have increased in price. Additionally, long delivery times made working in laboratories dependent on solvents a challenge.
Lee Hibbett, a Technical Manager of the Pharmacy School at the University in Nottingham, was facing those problems. Students and other end users are using acetone as a solvent to remove chemical residue from glassware before the actual cleaning process. Lee discovered a few problems that go together with that practice:
The rising costs of raw material (acetone)
Large volumes of acetone were being used for cleaning purposes
Disposal of acetone was not environmentally friendly
During his research for a solution, he discovered the Hei-VOLUME Distimatic, which is a system for
automated solvent recovery and evaporation. The new system was installed quickly and since 2022, Hibbett and his team are steadily optimizing the right flow rate in order to get the best possible outcome.
The team can now recycle around 6 bottles of acetone per week, which equals to around 15 liters. Additionally, the cost of one bottle of clean, new acetone increased from £4.37 (2018) to £9.15 (2023). Hibbett and his team were able to generate around 12 2.5 liter bottles of clean recycled acetone in only 6 days of first testing that system. This shows how financially beneficial the solution is for saving some budget already a couple
of days after the installation. Finally, to produce one tonne of acetone, around 2000 kg of CO2 are produced, whereas the recycling process reduces the amount of CO2 per tonne by 1.600 kg.
Therefore by implementing an automated module, the Hei-VOLUME Distimatic, Hibbett was able to tackle
all upcoming problems surrounding rising costs of raw materials, long delivery times for chemicals and reducing the overall carbon footprint of the University.
Hibbett's passion to implement sustainable approaches at work, not only got him recognition at the University he works for, but also the Green Gown Award.
"Old ideas are not always the best - new ways of thinking can make a big difference." - Lee Hibbett
GREATER SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH THE RECYCLING OF CLEANING FLUID IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
Before measuring and testing test engines and prototypes in automotive manufacturing, the workpieces are cleaned. This cleaning process produces several liters of contaminated cleaning fluid every day. Recycling these fluids for reuse not only pays
As centers of research and learning, universities are uniquely positioned to advance the development and implementation of sustainable practices across a wide range of disciplines."
off in terms of production sustainability, but also leads to long-term cost savings.
To recycle the cleaning fluid, one German car manufacturer uses the Distimatic Platinum 5 Package. The automatic module allows any quantity of the cleaning fluid, however large, to be distilled with minimal effort.
In the car manufacturer's plant, batches of 30 liters each are distilled in this way at a very high evaporation rate, with only a 2 percent loss of cleaning agent for every 10 liters. The Hei-VOLUME Distimatic is operated in TIME MODE to ensure low losses and the fastest possible distillation at the same time. Once the process is complete, the recycled cleaning liquid is left in the
collecting vessel, with the dirt particles remaining in the evaporation flask in the form of residues.
RECYCLING OF SOLVENT MIXTURES FROM MANUFACTURING PROCESSES
The recovery of solvents from mixtures is part of many chemical manufacturing processes. Depending on
the process or the size of the operation, enormous quantities of used solvent may be produced. These mixtures are often disposed of after the process, although they could be purified and reused by means of an evaporator.
For example, the materials research center at a university in southern Germany, which deals with basic and contract research of new materials, recycles their solvent mixtures for reuse. With the Hei-VAP Industrial
- Performance Plus Package, solvent mixtures are efficiently recovered. Since then, there has been almost no need to purchase new solvents and disposal costs have been reduced considerably.
