Evaluation of a Novel, Large Volume Evaporative Sample Preparation Technique
26 Jun 2015When introducing any new piece of instrumentation or equipment into a highly controlled environment such as an environmental analysis laboratory, the new unit must evaluated to ensure that it has equivalent or better performance to the existing equipment. Any impact on the testing methods can then be fully understood and the testing methods re-validated if necessary. With regard to sample concentration and evaporation technology the most important issue is sample recovery, especially for very volatile analytes. This application note presents Laboratoire départemental d’analyses de la Drôme’s (LDA26’s) evaluation of the Genevac Rocket and its ability to prepare large volume samples containing volatile analytes.

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.
