Large Liquid Volume Evaporation to Benefit Medicinal Chemistry

Genevac Ltd, leader in solvent evaporation technology, has announced further additions to its range of large volume sample holders for its EZ-2 and HT series centrifugal evaporators.

With medicinal chemistry departments needing to scale up syntheses to meet the increasing demand of ADME, Toxicology and Safety Testing - the need for safe and efficient removal of larger volumes of solvent has been increasing.

Ingenious sample holder design has allowed the compact, benchtop EZ-2 to accommodate up to six 100ml flasks simultaneously. With larger round-bottomed flasks, a total capacity of 1 litre is possible, for example 4 x 250ml or 2 x 500ml. On the larger capacity HT-4X system - new holders have been introduced that enable simultaneous evaporation from 4 x 500 ml Nalge bottles or 4 x 250 ml Schott media bottles.

The new sample holders allow users to evaporate large volumes, as they would on a rotary evaporator, in a single productive run but with the added sample temperature and bumping protection safety features afforded by the EZ-2 and HT-series evaporators.

Many years of experience in solvent evaporation and sample purification have allowed Genevac to produce high-efficiency sample concentrators that deliver high performance, ease of use, high reliability, and compatibility with most commonly used solvents and acids.
