Product news

Genevac announces the second generation version of its popular miVac centrifugal sample concentrator range that has a sleek new look and is faster, quieter and easier to use than previous models.

Incorporating an improved pressure controller with intuitive programming and graphical display - miVac concentrators are now even easier to use. Featuring solid aluminium JetRotors - second generation miVac concentrators offer unmatched speed of evaporation in an affordable entry level system.

Capable of removing solvents from a variety of sample formats including tubes, microplates and vials - miVac concentrators can also be used to freeze dry aqueous samples. MiVac systems are suitable for use with a wide range of solvents, from volatile organic types through to water and many medium boiling point solvents. There is a choice of three medium to high vacuum pumps and a dedicated DNA system with built-in pump.

Unique to miVac concentrators is SpeedTrap - a novel frost-free, refrigerated cold trap that minimises the traditional time required to dispose of removed solvent. miVac concentrators feature built-in special methods for working with alcohols, water and water mixtures to improve performance and optimise concentration times.

miVac concentrators are extremely quiet when in use and typical results with water show that they are up to 40% faster than comparably priced biological sample 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.

CentrifugesCentrifuges are used to separate particulates suspended in a liquid via the application of a centrifugal force including cells, macromolecules, nanoparticles and precipitates. Centrifuges come in three sizes: microcentrifuges, benchtop and floor-standing centrifuges, depending on the volume and number of samples that require separation. When choosing a centrifuge, consider its maximum separation power indicated by its relative centrifugal force (RCF) value. Low force centrifuges reach a maximum RCF of 8,000 g, high-force centrifuges can reach maximum RCF values of 80,000 g. For extremely high forces, consider ultracentrifuges (up to 800,000 g). Refrigerated and vacuum centrifuges also known as concentrators are available for more specialized applications. A range of volumes are available for centrifuge tubes and microfuge tubes, depending on sample sizes.
