Control software allows large-scale solvent evaporator to automatically detect when samples are dry and shut itself down - safeguarding samples from thermal degradation
Genevac has announced major enhancements to its HT-12 large-scale solvent evaporator for the drug discovery market.
Ideal for use in compound purification, plate re-formatting, and plate replication, the new HT-12 has been re-engineered to improve performance, enhance ease of use and minimise cost of ownership. New proprietary control software allows the HT-12 to automatically detect when the samples are dry and then shut itself down - safeguarding valuable samples from potential thermal degradation.
Combined with Genevac's VC3000TA continuous running condensers, the 'auto stop when dry' function allows easy unattended operation offering the possibility of significant increases in productivity through use of overnight evaporation runs.
This is ideal for drying large numbers of samples of broadly similar mass and format, such as microplates and HPLC autosampler vials, as the HT-12 triple deck rotor will take 48 shallow-well plates simultaneously.
The new HT-12 also boasts improved mechanics and electronics to further minimise operational downtime and routine maintenance.
The small footprint allows this high-capacity evaporator to be sited in any standard fume hood or on a dedicated trolley, ideal for application sharing and contract laboratory work.
