Product news

The Model DD-4X from Genevac (www.genevac.com) is an affordable, high-performance centrifugal evaporator system designed to handle the wide range of sample types and formats encountered in Medicinal Chemistry laboratories.

Easily interchangeable rotors enable the Model DD-4X to productively handle a wide variety of sample formats including tubes, vials and microplates.

Difficult or sensitive samples are no problem to the Model DD-4X. Benefiting from a high performance Scroll pump, optimised evaporation chamber and powerful IR lamps the Model DD-4X is able to rapidly remove most routinely used solvents with ease - even higher boiling solvents such as DMSO and NMP. Efficient chamber cooling between runs is particularly useful to protect thermally sensitive samples when run immediately after higher boiling point solvents.

High condensing power and a large capacity waste solvent cold trap enable the Model DD-4X to offer the best overall solvent recovery, shortest run times and lowest condenser defrost times for a solvent evaporator in its price range. Together these factors ensure high productivity and maximum performance throughout the run.

Benefiting from an optimised layout and high quality electronics the Model DD-4X is very reliable and offers simple maintenance access, helping to extend system life and reduce the cost of ownership.

Further information on the Model DD-4X can be obtained by contacting Genevac on telephone +44-1473-240000 or email salesinfo@genevac.com

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. Find the best centrifuges in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Medicinal ChemistryMedicinal chemistry is a broad discipline encompassing the design, identification, synthesis and development of chemicals in drug discovery. It includes a number of techniques covering structural biology, synthetic chemistry and molecular biology. Technologies used in medicinal chemistry include ADME, lab-on-a-chip, high content screening and assay assembly.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.
