Available as standard on HT Series II and MEGA systems, SampleGuard™ temperature control from Genevac is a unique capability that protects samples from any possibility of overheating when evaporation is complete.

The heat input into evaporating samples on Genevac HT-Series II and MEGA centrifugal evaporators can be controlled and is switched off automatically by SampleGuard™ before samples are dry, to ensure their integrity. With this critical task automated operators are now freed to work on other tasks rather than watching samples dry.

Comprising two thermocouples and a unique temperature transmitter, attached to the rotor in the evaporation chamber, SampleGuard™ provides real-time feedback, thus allowing more accurate control of actual sample temperature. SampleGuard™ probes can measure temperature at any point in the sample holder. The probes can be used to accurately and reliably determine end-of-run, enabling the evaporator system to be easily set-up for optimal performance and automatic shutdown, making it an ideal productivity enhancing tool for the multi-user environment.

Years of experience in solvent evaporation and sample purification have allowed Genevac to produce a range of high-efficiency solvent evaporation systems that deliver high performance, ease of use, high reliability, and compatibility with most commonly used solvents and acids. In consultation with clients around the world, Genevac focuses on developing real advances in evaporator performance, sample protection, ease-of-use and reduced maintenance.

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.

Thermal analysis equipment includes differential scanning calorimeters (DSC), thermogravimetric analyzers (TGA), thermomechanical analyzers (TMA), dilatometers, thermometers, vapor sorption analyzers, boiling and melting point apparatus. Thermal analyzers can reveal properties such as melting, crystallization and glass transitions or other processes such as oxidation, decomposition, volatilization, as well as coefficients of thermal expansion and modulus.

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.
