Genevac HT-12 Series II systems are designed to provide the ideal solution for evaporation bottlenecks in high throughput and production laboratories.

Drawing upon more than 15 years technological leadership in solvent removal technology the HT-12 Series II represents today's benchmark in high speed, high capacity evaporation systems. The versatile system offers options for integration into automated environments, for handling potentially explosive solvents and a version for use with strong acids.

The HT-12's high performance and high sample capacity make it an ideal workhorse for applications including fast lyophilisation, combinatorial chemistry, parallel synthesis, compound purification, plate re-formatting, and plate replication that require high throughput evaporation. The unique design of the HT-12 multi layer rotor ensures efficient use of valuable laboratory bench space as well as providing high performance and efficient evaporation. Incorporating the latest scroll pump technology the HT-12 Series II does not require any pumping fluid or lubricant in order to operate which increases operational uptime and makes the system ideal for use in harsh chemistry environments.

The HT-12 system accommodates a wide range of sample formats. The strong stainless steel rotors are housed in a cast aluminium vacuum chamber, protected from attack by corrosive vapours by a reinforced perfluorinated coating. The rotors incorporate 12 "sample swings" to accommodate Genevac sample holders for tubes & vials, microtitre plates and custom sample formats.

Proprietary control software allows the HT-12 to automatically detect when the samples are dry and then shut it down - safeguarding valuable samples from potential thermal degradation. Combined with Genevac's VC3000TA continuous running condensers, the 'auto stop when dry' function allows easy unattended operation offering the possibility of significant increases in productivity through use of overnight evaporation runs.

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.
