Genevac Rocket SynergyHT and EZ-2 series evaporators are designed to be very useful tools for lab scientists wishing to concentrate a sample safely and quickly.

Genevac has remained an industry leader by partnering with customers to understand the obstacles involved in using centrifugal evaporation/concentration systems. This partnership has led to the development of a range of innovations including the Dri-Pure®, SampleGenie™ systems. The incorporation of temperature control and solvent resistant build quality has allowed Genevac evaporators to become the leading tools of choice for sample concentration prior to analysis.

Traditionally protocols for concentration of chromatographic fractions prior to analysis has involved drying multiple fractions in an evaporator, re-suspending pooled fractions into a single vial and then re-drying before storage and analysis. Even with modern centrifugal evaporators this process typically takes 2-3 days to complete. Now fractions can be pooled into a SampleGenie flask and dried directly into a submission vial in one evaporation run. SampleGenie is proven to reduce processing and evaporation times by up to 66% as well as eliminating the attendant risk of sample handling errors.

SampleGuard and SampleShield temperature control are sample protection features included in all Genevac Rocket Synergy, HT and EZ-2 series evaporators. These proprietary technologies monitor and control the maximum temperature of the samples to protect them from any possibility of overheating when evaporation is complete. In addition, Genevac’s patented Dri-Pure® sample protection system prevents cross-contamination and sample loss due to bumping and is fitted as standard on Rocket Synergy, HT and EZ-2 series evaporators.

Evaporators and Freeze DryersCentrifugal evaporation is used for solvent removal from a sample. This is a useful technique for sample concentration or sample drying. Many centrifugal evaporators are modular with a central vacuum pump for generating low pressure. Useful features of evaporators or vacuum ovens include minimal solvent bumping, solvent resistance, computer control, temperature regulation and benchtop design.Laboratory SafetyLaboratory safety is essential to the effective operation of all laboratories and is required to minimize the risk of harm during experiments. Guidelines, regulations, and equipment should be available in all laboratories to ensure that the working environment is safe and secure.Lab EssentialsLab essentials include laboratory consumables that are vital to the operation of all laboratories.Solvent Evaporation
