Horizon Technology, Inc. Announces a New Solvent Recovery System

Horizon Technology is pleased to announce the SolventTrap_svoc Solvent Recovery System. The SolventTrap_svoc can recover solvents evaporated during the concentration step prior to injection into the GC or HPLC. The SolventTrap_svoccomes coupled with the DryVap^® In-line Drying and Evaporation System for a complete dry-evaporate-trap solvent system, consistent with the workflow and environmentally friendly.

"The system can recover 95% dichloromethane (DCM) evaporated from 6 180-mL samples simultaneously, using vacuum and an auxiliary chiller" says Robert Johnson, Founder and CTO.

Recent enforcement of environmental air regulations has shown laboratories that compliance is a must and anything that can reduce the solvent emitted into the air is a valuable laboratory addition. Additionally, there is less chance of operator exposure to solvent vapors making the workplace safer.
