Optimising Drug Discovery and Development

Barnstead Genevac (www.genevac.com) has announced that it will show its latest innovative products optimising drug discovery and development at the forthcoming Drug Discovery Technology® & Development World Congress 2005 in Boston, USA.

At this important meeting Barnstead Genevac will exhibit a new range of affordable centrifugal concentrators for molecular biology applications. Benchmarked to provide best-of-class performance in all aspects the miVac range allow scientists working with DNA, RNA, peptides, oligonucleotides and proteins to safely and swiftly concentrate or dry their samples. The new range of concentrators feature capacity from six to twelve stacked shallow-well microplates or 64 to 200 micro centrifuge tubes of 1.5ml size. Special methods for drying aqueous and alcohol-based samples are included in all the miVac models.

Also on display will be the miVac Speed Trap - a new unique design of refrigerated solvent condenser for vacuum concentrators. The Speed Trap has been designed to considerably improve the performance of any vacuum concentration system by condensing vapours back to liquid, helping to pull a vacuum and speeding up the concentration process considerably.

Based on booth 618, Barnstead Genevac will show its popular EZ-2 Personal Evaporator system. The EZ-2 now accommodates a wide selection of sample holders enabling evaporation from most common sample container formats including round-bottom flasks up to 500ml, tubes up to 160mm long, custom reaction blocks and shallow or deep-well microplates. To meet the need of the many pharmaceutical companies switching their compound generation programmes from serial chemistry to parallel synthesis, the EZ-2 is also able to take tubes, flasks and vials directly from the synthesis process, eliminating a manual handling step, increasing recoveries and removing the chance of cross contamination.

Other products on display will include the Model HT-4X. Developed for pharmaceutical laboratories where sample purity and speed are important the Model HT-4X offers unmatched speed of evaporation, shorter condenser defrost time, more powerful software and the flexibility to accommodate a wider range of sample formats than any other system in its class.

Genevac's knowledgeable applications and sales staff will be available to discuss with customers the best way to meet their requirements for solvent removal.
