Novel rotors double speed of sample concentrator

Genevac has announced the availability of a new brochure describing how a new innovation is enabling solvent removal times in their popular miVac™ sample concentrator to be improved by up to 200% without loss of sample integrity.

The new JetRotors all-aluminium rotors offer efficient conduction of heat energy, giving very high performance concentration compared with rotors made of plastic or of an open construction. This innovation in combination with Genevac's unique Speed Trap refrigerated solvent condenser has facilitated higher throughput, safe sample preparation in applications including plasmid purification, dye terminator removal, cell fractionation, oligonucleotide and protein precipitation.

MiVac JetRotors are available for all common sample tubes, vials, centrifuge and microcentrifuge tubes.

The miVac range was designed to meet the requirements for careful and speedy drying in most biological applications. Special methods for drying aqueous and alcohol-based samples are included in all the miVac models. A range of concentrators feature capacity from six to twenty stacked shallow-well microplates or 48 to 200 micro centrifuge tubes of 1.5ml size. The miVac concentrators feature full LCD display with digital controls and programming of time and temperature. A range of suitable vacuum pumps is also available, including 2-head and 4-head diaphragm pumps and an ultra-low vacuum Scroll type pump.
