Genevac, world leader in solvent removal technologies, has announced a new 20-page technical booklet introducing its HT Series II and Mega Series II centrifugal evaporators. The new booklet is available either as a convenient downloadable pdf document (via the article webpage) or in hard copy format.

The HT-Series II range from Genevac sets the benchmark for flexible, high performance evaporation designed with the specific needs of life science research in mind. From the compact HT-4X to the latest HT-24 system each HT evaporator carries the hallmark of Genevac's 15 years 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. For ultra-high throughput applications using sample formats with a footprint larger than a microplate the Mega Series II uniquely combines the required large sample capacity with ultimate evaporator performance and operational flexibility.

The booklet provides a detailed introduction for all current products ranging from the compact HT-4X series optimised for drug discovery to the HT-8, HT-12, HT-24 and Mega series, providing the ultimate in high throughput evaporator technology. A selection guide helps you to select the most appropriate system for your application. Further information is provided on Genevac's wide range of sample holders, intuitive yet powerful software and options for specialist applications including highly volatile, explosive or acidic samples.

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.
