Robotic centrifugal evaporator is designed to help accelerate compound purification, plate re-formatting and plate replication.
Genevac has begun delivery of a new robotic centrifugal evaporator designed to help accelerate compound purification, plate re-formatting and plate replication.
The Auto HT-12 is a robot-ready version of Genevac's HT-12 large-scale solvent evaporator, a system widely used by drug discovery departments of pharmaceutical companies worldwide.
The new high productivity system incorporates remote access doors and an indexing rotor to ensure that sample holders always line up with the robot arm.
In addition, full remote control and data logging via the built-in RS232C interface makes it easy to integrate the Auto HT-12 with most laboratory automation systems.
The new Auto HT-12 is customised to individual requirement by Genevac to provide seamless integration with all commercial robots.
New proprietary control software allows the Auto HT-12 to automatically detect when the samples are dry and then shut itself down - safeguarding valuable samples from potential thermal degradation.
To allow unattended operation for extended periods, the waste solvent condenser unit is continuous-running and automatically defrosts when full.
The Auto HT-12 is ideal for drying large numbers of samples of broadly similar mass and format, such as microplates and HPLC autosampler vials.
The systems triple deck rotor has capacity to accommodate 48 shallow-well plates simultaneously. The small footprint of this automated high capacity evaporator allows it to be sited in any standard fume hood enhancing laboratory health and safety.
Robustly built, the Auto HT-12 also boasts highly reliable mechanics and electronics ensuring minimal operational downtime and routine maintenance.
