The miVac concentrator claims to have operational benefits compared to ’blowdown’ evaporation systems.
Blowdown evaporators often have to operate at 50°C or more to concentrate samples in a relatively short space of time.
Genevac claims that for many laboratories dissolution of samples in low boiling solvents is not always an option.
For laboratories looking to concentrate samples that may thermally degrade, the miVac sample concentrator is able to reduce the temperature of the solvents being concentrated therefore your samples are always kept cool and safe.
Unlike blowdown eevaporators that often have no means of preventing sample splashing during concentration - miVac vacuum concentrators eliminate this potential source of sample cross-contamination.
Increasing environmental concerns are making venting of removed solvents to the atmosphere, the method used by blowdown evaporators, unacceptable.
In conjunction with the SpeedTrap the miVac sample concentrator is able to safely recover almost all removed solvents.
The miVac sample concentrator range features capacity from six to twenty stacked shallow-well microplates or 48 to 200 micro centrifuge tubes of 1.5ml size.
