Porvair Sciences launched the MiniVap Gemini - an entry-level product designed to remove the solvent from two microplates simultaneously.
Using highly efficient evaporator head technology, and an innovative manifold design which directly injects heated nitrogen into each well of two 96-well microplate simultaneously, the MiniVap Gemini enables researchers to remove the traditional laboratory ‘bottleneck’ of solvent evaporation from microplates prior to analysis or reconstitution in buffer.
MiniVap Gemini has been designed to accommodate any ANSI/SLAS footprint 96-well microplate up to 60mm high.
It is simple to operate and maintain, requiring installation via conntection to a gas supply and standard mains socket.
With manual control of the needle depth, gas temperature and flow rate, the evaporator claims to deliver fine control and quicker drying times than other standard evaporation methods.
The CE-marked compact unit fits into all fume cupboards.
