Abstract

The present invention provides a rotary evaporator capable of accurately quantifying concentrated liquid and/or distillate. A distillation flask is improved into a structure having a liquid discharge opening formed at the bottom, and/or a spherical collecting flask is improved into a structure having a liquid release opening formed at the bottom. Concentrated liquid and/or distillate can be discharged without dismounting the distillation flask and/or the collecting flask. In addition, fine metering scale tubes and quantitative capacity increase units are disposed at the liquid discharge opening and/or the liquid release opening, there is a valve on the top and another valve on the bottom of each tube, so that the constant subtle changes of the amount of concentrated liquid and/or distillate can be observed, and an accurate amount of concentrated liquid and/or distillate can be discharged.
