Porvair Sciences has launched a video introducing the Ultravap Mistral.
The next generation robot-compatible dry down station is designed to remove the ’bottleneck’ of solvent evaporation from microplates.
Drawing on Porvair’s experience in nitrogen blow down evaporation, the UltraVap Mistral offers a simple, turnkey solution for integrating an automatic dry down step into automated liquid handling protocols.
The UltraVap Mistral is fully optimised to work with robotic liquid handling systems from suppliers including Beckman, Hamilton and Tecan and features a ’shuttle’ design capable of serving and retrieving microplates to and from the robot deck without further need for off-deck handling.
Offering faster drying than centrifugal evaporation for single plates, significant increases in sample throughput are achieved through advanced evaporator head technology.
An innovative manifold design directly injects heated nitrogen into each individual well of the microplate simultaneously.
Installation requires only connection to gas supply and mains electricity. Safety of operation is ensured as the CE-marked unit fits into all fume cupboards and boasts full integral fume management.
