Fast Unattended Concentration of Environmental Samples
11 Oct 2015
The Rocket Synergy Evaporator from Genevac is proven to provide fast, unattended operation that significantly improves environmental laboratory productivity.
Developed as a result of users’ demands for an evaporator that could quickly process large-volume environmental samples in parallel without supervision, the Rocket Synergy Evaporator can concentrate or dry 18 ASE tubes or up to 6 large-volume 450 ml flasks. This enables the user to focus on other tasks, confident that the Rocket Synergy Evaporator will achieve reproducible evaporation with excellent recovery rates.
In addition using Genevac’s proprietary SampleGenie™ technology in conjunction with the Rocket Synergy evaporator enables samples to be concentrated directly into an autosampler or storage vial, eliminating the need for manual sample transfer. To automate transfers from ASE® vials the Genevac Flip-Flop™ system can be used. This elimination of manual transfer steps and the automation of the evaporation / concentration process deliver significantly improved environmental laboratory workflow, better reproducibility of results and maximizes sample recovery.
To achieve the dual goals of very fast evaporation, with precise temperature control to protect environmental samples, the Rocket Synergy Evaporator uses a patented low temperature drying technology to directly heat the sample flasks. By pulling a vacuum on the samples, solvent(s) boil at a low temperature, which is determined by the pressure. The Rocket Synergy Evaporator is equipped with the advanced performance features, such as automated end point detection, Dri-Pure® anti-bumping technology, and accurate temperature regulation to further protect the integrity of your samples.
A two-stage cold trap is built into the Rocket Synergy Evaporator, providing high levels of solvent recovery, even with volatile organic solvents. Under the control of the evaporator, the cold trap automatically drains to ensure that high solvent recovery is maintained, no matter what mix of solvents are being removed. The compact Rocket Synergy Evaporator fits neatly onto a laboratory bench or into a fume hood.

Sample Genie
GenevacSampleGenie technology, in conjunction with Genevac Rocket Synergy, HT and EZ-2 series evaporators, enables large sample volumes to be dried directly into vials, eliminating a number of time-consuming sample handling steps and the attendant risk of errors. Traditionally protocols for concentration of chromatographic fractions has involved drying multiple fractions in an evaporator, re-suspending and pooling fractions into a single vial and then re-drying before storage and analysis. Even with modern centrifugal evaporators such processes typically take 2-3 days to complete. Using SampleGenie pooled fractions can be dried directly into the final submission vial, reducing the process time by up to 66%. Available for starting volumes of up to 60ml, 125ml and 250ml, SampleGenie is compatible with a wide range of HPLC, GC and storage vial sizes.
Rocket Synergy Evaporator
GenevacRocket Evaporators use patented vacuum technology to evaporate solutions to dryness, or a concentrate, rapidly and safely. The latest Synergy series offers integrated, flexible solutions for processing a wide range of sample volumes. Interchangeable rotors will accommodate tubes, flasks and batch volumes of up to 100L. Rocket Synergy is designed primarily to quickly process larger volumes of solvent in parallel and without supervision. The Rocket Synergy Evaporator will accommodate six flasks, each containing up to 450ml of solvent, as well a variety of innovative Genevac sample holders such as the SampleGenie. The removable rotor may also be replaced with a 5L 316 stainless steel vessel for batch processing. Now you don't need to choose between flask or batch/feed evaporation. The Rocket and Rocket 4D Synergy evaporators will accommodate your process, whatever the volume. Each is capable of replacing several rotary evaporators and saving valuable bench space.
