Genevac, world leader in solvent removal technologies, has announced a new 12-page brochure introducing its miVac concentrator range either in hard copy format or as a convenient downloadable pdf document.

Affordably priced the miVac range sets the standard for careful and speedy biological sample concentration and drying from a variety of sample formats including tubes, microplates and vials. Compact in design, miVac concentrators feature built-in special methods for working with alcohols, water and water mixtures to improve performance and optimise concentration times. Comprising three models of varying capacity each miVac concentrator features full LCD display with digital control and programming of time and temperature to minimise the chances of heat damage to your samples. The miVac pressure controller helps further to optimise concentration through smoothing the onset of concentration and preventing sample splashing. The miVac SpeedTrap is an optional refrigerated solvent condenser that offers more than twice the condensing power of other cold traps as well as being simple to use and empty.

A range of medium and high vacuum pumps is also available. Offering unmatched performance, sample safety, versatility and ease-of-use, miVac is the first biological sample concentrator system with modules designed to work together and also look good.

The brochure provides an introduction to 'what is a centrifugal vacuum concentrator?' and detailed information on all products in the miVac concentrator range. A selection guide helps you to select the most appropriate miVac system for your application. Further information is provided on Genevac's wide range of miVac sample holders, intuitive yet powerful software and range of optional accessories.

miVac Concentrators
Genevac
miVac is a range of centrifugal vacuum concentrators and freeze driers capable of removing water and organic solvents from a variety of sample formats including tubes, microplates, and vials. miVac concentrators come in 2 sizes, the smaller Duo and a larger Quattro. There is a choice of vacuum pump and rotor according to application and sample format. To speed concentration built-in special runs for working with water and water mixtures improve performance, helping optimise concentration time. The addition of the revolutionary SpeedTrap condenser to the system will greatly enhance concentration performance. miVac systems feature unique JetRotors - solid aluminium rotors which speed concentration manifold. An optional pressure control unit provides display of chamber pressure and manual or automatic control of the vacuum level. The miVac SpeedTrap can also be used for freeze drying when configured with a miVac Super vacuum pump, as a combined concentration / freeze drying workstation with a miVac vacuum concentrator or as a stand-alone freeze drier. Applications: Suitable for use with Oligo-synthesis, RNA/DNA prep., peptide prep., sequencing, molecular biology, ADME / toxicology labs, process development, residue analysis, environmental analysis and general academic/life science research.

miVac SpeedTrap
Genevac
Unique frost free cold trap - the miVac SpeedTrap does not need defrosting, all solvents (including water) collect as liquids and can be eaily emptied - collection jar is simply removed by quarter turn. The miVac SpeedTrap is compact, requiring little bench space and suitable for use with a wide range of solvents, from volatile organic solvents through to water and some of the higher boiling point solvents. The SpeedTrap is designed to compliment the miVac series of concentrators, however it can also be used with most of your existing equipment from centrifugal concentrators to rotary evaporators and lyophilisers. The miVac SpeedTrap can also be used for freeze drying when configured with a miVac Super vacuum pump, as a combined concentration / freeze drying workstation with a miVac vacuum concentrator or as a stand-alone freeze drier.
