Made in Germany manufacturing, deep expertise in brushless motors, and a culture of user safety underpin sustained international growth, supported by a local distribution and technical support network. Heidolph focuses on durability, with long-term spare parts availability and a controlled total cost of ownership.

Expertise and Capabilities

Heidolph is particularly renowned for its Hei-VAP rotary evaporators, engineered for solvent evaporation, concentration and gentle drying in organic chemistry, formulation, botanical extraction and quality control. Precise control of temperature, rotation and vacuum delivers safety, high yield and reproducibility.

Magnetic stirrers and platform shakers (orbital or reciprocating) ensure reliable homogenisation for dissolution, synthesis or cell culture outside incubators. Heidolph overhead stirrers provide constant torque across a wide viscosity range, with built-in safety features and quick impeller/tool changes.

Hei-FLOW peristaltic pumps round out the portfolio for clean, precise fluid transfer, from microflows to higher flow rates, in single- or multi-channel configurations.

Heidolph stands out through durable design, user-centred ergonomics and high safety standards, valued by chemistry, life science and pharmaceutical laboratories.
