Parallel Sample Preparation System for HPLC Vials

25 Jan 2013

Product news

Porvair Sciences has announced a new version of its MiniVap™ Blowdown Evaporator able to quickly and safely remove solvent from up to 48 vials in parallel.

Made from solvent resistant black polypropylene the new MiniVap Vial Holder has been designed to accommodate up to 48 vials in a standard SLAS / ANSI format.

Incorporating advanced evaporator head technology which directly injects heated nitrogen into 48 HPLC vials simultaneously, the MiniVap removes the traditional laboratory ‘bottleneck’ of solvent evaporation from vials.

The MiniVap™ Blowdown Evaporator takes just minutes to remove volatile organic solvents from your samples collected in 24- or 96-well microplates and now HPLC vials.

Compact in design the affordably priced MiniVap™ is simple to install, operate and maintain. Installation just requires connection to a gas supply and standard mains socket. Safety of operation is ensured as the CE marked compact unit fits into all fume cupboards.

UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems.

Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.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.Solvent ExtractionSolvent MonitoringOrganic CompoundsOrganic compounds are carbon-based molecules that form the building blocks of life. These include hydrocarbons, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Understanding organic compounds is crucial in chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmacology. Explore organic compound analysis tools in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Semi Volatile Organic CompoundsSemi volatiles organic compounds (SVOCs) are a groups of compounds that have a low boiling point and evaporate above room temperature. SVOCs include phenols and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).
