Process combines high performance centrifugal evaporation technology with sample lyophilisation to deliver a major advance in preparing heat sensitive samples from aqueous solution
Genevac has introduced new technology on its model HT-4X centrifugal evaporator whereby the system can be used to accelerate lyophilisation of water and water mixtures by as much as 300%.
Lyophilisation traditionally is a lengthy multi-stage process, based upon sublimation, which extracts the water from pharmaceuticals, foods and natural products so that the products remain stable and are easier to store at room temperature.
The new Lyospeed process, developed by Genevac, combines the company's high performance centrifugal evaporation technology with sample lyophilisation to deliver a major advance in preparing heat sensitive samples from aqueous solution.
Drawing upon Genevac's proprietary SampleGuard and Dri-Pure technology, the HT-4X is able to protect samples that would bump in a traditional freeze drier.
Developed for laboratories where sample purity and speed are important, the model HT-4X claims unmatched speed of evaporation, shorter condenser defrost time, more powerful software, and the flexibility to accommodate a wider range of sample formats than any other system in its class.
An innovative built-in dual chamber refrigerated condenser, that combines a powerful cryopump and solvent recovery system, together with extra powerful IR lamps, accelerates the speed of evaporation, even for high boiling point solvents.
In addition, efficient chamber cooling between runs is particularly useful to protect thermally sensitive samples when run immediately after higher boiling point solvents.
The system additionally offers an auto-defrosting condenser option and novel functions such as auto shut down and auto-solvent selection, making it easy to use by a wide range of staff.
The HT-4X comes with built-in full colour screen with remote control and data logging.
Comprehensive display of real-time data allows easy methods development for a wide range of applications.
The easy-to-use system provides for up to 99 stored methods, each with a name of up to 20 characters, making it ideal for multi-user environments.
