Available
from Porvair Sciences Ltd., specialists in microplate technology,
are a range of affordable and high-speed evaporator systems for
concentrating samples in 96 or 384-well microplates.

For
laboratories requiring the flexibility of concentrating samples
in both 96 and 384-well microplates the Ultravap™ is the system
of choice. Targeted to remove the traditional laboratory bottleneck
of solvent evaporation from 96- or 384-well microplates prior to
analysis or reconstitution in buffer, the Ultravap provides the
edge to laboratories looking to optimise microplate sample preparation
productivity. Significant increases in sample throughput are achieved
through advanced evaporator head technology and an innovative manifold
design, which directly injects heated nitrogen into each individual
well of the microplate simultaneously. The system is proven to remove
even the most stubborn solvents in just minutes. For heat sensitive
and thermally labile samples the Ultravap may be operated in a unique
two-stage mode combining rapid initial dry-down with carefully controlled
final solvent evaporation. Onboard software permits nine different
drying programmes to be retained in the memory eliminating the need
for skilled operators to set-up the system when changing from one
experiment to another. An RS232 interface allows remote control
via a PC and specialised software. The ability to upload and download
methods allows the Ultravap to be fully integrated into robotic
automation systems.
For
research and development laboratories whose main need is to dry
individual plates the MiniVap™ represents the state-of-the-art in
96-well microplate sample evaporator units. Compact in design, the
affordable MiniVap takes just minutes to dry down a plate, replacing
traditional techniques that typically take hours to remove solvents
from a 96-well microplate. The MiniVap is simple to operate and
maintain. Installation just requires connection to a gas supply
and standard mains socket. Safety of operation is ensured as the
CE marked compact unit fits into all fume cupboards. The versatile
MiniVap has been designed to accommodate both shallow and deep 96-well
microplates.
