Product news

LaboGene Aps has announced the release of the new ScanVac-HyperVap™ automated evaporation concentrator that compliments their range of ScanVac MiniVac & MaxiVac centrifugal concentrators.

The ScanVac-HyperVap ™ is an efficient, automated "nitrogen blow-down" concentrator that can handle up to 32 samples, from 6-300mls and offers the simultaneous evaporation of different solvents in differing volumes.

Features & Benefits

• Four Independent Timer Settings for Gas Injection Channels, each with 8 nozzles, allows each channel to be controlled separately, allowing different volumes and solvents to be evaporated simultaneously
• Two Step Control of Gas/Air Injection pressure/time, allows both initial and running pressure to be altered on a time base. This allows a gradual change of pressure to prevent “bumping” of the sample on start up
• Semi-helical Gas/Air flow via specially designed nozzles, generates a large sample surface area, to maximize the rate of evaporation
• Temperature control of the water bath from ambient to 99°C
• Status monitoring incorporating “traffic light” indication for heater, ventilation/extract fan and door closure. When all is OK the light is yellow, if there is malfunction or set is incorrect the corresponding light is red
• Blue back-lighting to the sample chamber gives excellent definition for viewing the samples via either front or side windows
• Rear mounted extract/ventilation fan for rapid exhaust of gas/vapors (connection to duct & exhaust via fume hood)
• Tempered Glass panels to chamber front, sides and top lid
• Drain valve + hose for easy replacement of bath water
• Diverse range of sample racks catering for various sample containers

Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.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.Evaporation Concentrator
