Product news

Genevac has announced the publication of a new 20-page catalogue that provides a detailed description of its HT Solvent Evaporator Series - the centrifugal evaporators of choice for life science laboratories worldwide.

A detailed introduction is provided for all current products ranging from the compact HT-4X that sets the standard for bench-top solvent evaporation to the HT-8, HT-12 and HT-24, the pinnacle of very high throughput evaporator technology.

Each product section comprises technical description and basic specifications, photograph of the system, available options and key feature / benefits. Further information is provided on Genevac's wide range of sample holders, intuitive yet powerful software and options for fast lyophilisation and specialist applications including handling highly volatile, explosive or acidic samples. A selection guide helps you to select the most appropriate HT system for your application.

Technology at a glance features describe HT-Series innovations including Dri-Pure® that eliminates the unwanted effects of solvent bumping; SampleGuard® that prevents heat damage to samples while ensuring rapid evaporation and Auto-Defrost & Drain that enables volatile solvents to be collected and safely disposed of.

The HT Series high-performance evaporators benefit from Genevac's 20 years of experience in solvent removal with leading edge features that provide superior sample protection, flexibility for multiple applications, consistency of results, robust build quality, ease-of-use, rapid high-throughput results and low maintenance.

Preparative ChromatographyPreparative chromatography equipment is used for purification purposes, separating and collecting compounds eluted from a mixture which can then be subsequently used for further purposes. This can be done in large quantities or small. Preparative chromatography systems are usually low to medium pressure liquid chromatographs that are semi-automated. Explore a range of preparative columns and fraction collectors. Find the best preparative chromatography equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.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.

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.Bioprocessing / FermentationBioprocessing is the use of biological materials to perform commercial, scientific or medical research processes. Biological materials used include cells, enzymes and organisms. Usually bioprocessing requires a batch or continuous bioreactor such as a fermentor or cell culture system. The advantages of using a reactor include high productivity, easy configuration, adjustable values and automation.
