Increases in sample throughput are achieved through evaporator head and manifold design, which directly injects heated nitrogen into each individual microplate well simultaneously
Available from Porvair Sciences is a range of affordable and high-speed evaporator systems for concentrating samples in 96 or 384-well microplates.
For laboratories requiring the flexibility of concentrating samples in both 96 and 384-well microplates the Ultravap is the system of choice.
Targeted to remove the traditional laboratory bottleneck of solvent evaporation from 96- or 384-well microplates prior to analysis or reconstitution in buffer, the Ultravap provides the edge to laboratories looking to optimise microplate sample preparation productivity.
The system is proven to remove even the most stubborn solvents in just minutes.
For heat sensitive and thermally labile samples the Ultravap may be operated in a unique two-stage mode combining rapid initial dry-down with carefully controlled final solvent evaporation.
Onboard software permits nine different drying programmes to be retained in the memory eliminating the need for skilled operators to set-up the system when changing from one experiment to another.
An RS232 interface allows remote control via a PC and specialised software.
The ability to upload and download methods allows the Ultravap to be fully integrated into robotic automation systems.
For research and development laboratories whose main need is to dry individual plates the MiniVap represents the state of the art in 96-well microplate sample evaporator units.
Compact in design, the affordable MiniVap takes just minutes to dry down a plate, replacing traditional techniques that typically take hours to remove solvents from a 96-well microplate.
The MiniVap is simple to operate and maintain.
Installation just requires connection to a gas supply and standard mains socket.
Safety of operation is ensured as the CE marked compact unit fits into all fume cupboards.
The versatile MiniVap has been designed to accommodate both shallow and deep 96-well microplates
