Optimised Systems for Concentration or Removal of Solvents

Genevac Ltd chose Analytica 2010 to launch new capabilities for its ROCKET Evaporator and to display SP Industries high productivity AdVantage Plus Freeze Drying system. Product specialists from Genevac were available to discuss and propose solutions to optimally concentrate or remove solvents from almost any sample safely and productively.

Visitors saw the Puck - a new accessory that extends the sampling versatility of the Rocket Evaporator to simultaneously accommodate up to 18 Accelerated Solvent Extractor (ASE®) tubes. This new development makes the system ideally suited to environmental, food and agricultural scientists that commonly employ solvent extraction techniques and require concentration of extracted samples prior to analysis. Benefiting from a patented low temperature, low-pressure steam heating technology - the ASE Compatible Rocket Evaporator is able to uniquely achieve the dual goals of very fast evaporation with very precise temperature control thereby accelerating the safe concentration of extraction samples. Evaporation of ASE tubes is fast, safe and provides excellent recoveries of even the most volatile analytes. In addition proprietary Dri-Pure® technology prevents solvent bumping and cross contamination inherent with rotary evaporator and other vacuum evaporation systems.

Also on display was the fast and efficient AdVantage Plus Freeze Dryer. AdVantage Series Freeze Dryers incorporate proven freeze drying technology in the smallest possible footprint. These compact, affordable units are loaded with functions that enable materials to be processed quickly, efficiently, and conveniently. As user friendly as they are sophisticated, an animated synoptic display provides operational status including alarm information at a glance. An optional Wizard workstation enables all aspects of the lyophilisation cycle to be precisely controlled, monitored, recorded and presented in graphic format.
