Product news
The new SuperCool 75 is a state-of-the-art condenser which can be combined with the Genevac HT-12 Evaporator for enhanced evaporation and lyophilization results. The SuperCool 75 chills to -75ºC and operates at higher power than any other commercially available condenser. This greatly improves results with the Genevac LyoSpeed fast lyophilization process for preparing powdered samples from HPLC fractions.
Customer trials have shown that the Genevac HT-12 Evaporator / Supercool 75 combination produces powdered lyophilisation samples using the LyoSpeed methodology from even the most difficult to handle aqueous / organic solution, with a success rate as high as 95%.

Refrigerators Freezers and CryogenicsRefrigerators, Freezers & Cryogenics can be used for preservation or experimental purposes. Types of freezers include deep freeze, -80C°C, ultra-low temperature, explosion proof, cryogenic and controlled rate freezers. Freezing is also used in freeze-drying equipment for dehydration processes. Feature to consider in freezers include temperature control and recorders, failure alarms and self-closing mechanisms.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.Lyophilization
