FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 20, 2005. For laboratories looking to safely and efficiently concentrate samples in 96- and/or 384-well microplates a range of affordable and high-speed evaporator systems is available from Porvair Sciences Ltd. Safe & efficient microplate sample concentration .. For laboratories looking to safely and efficiently concentrate samples in 96- and/or 384-well microplates a range of affordable and high-speed evaporator systems is available from Porvair Sciences Ltd.
For R&D laboratories whose main need is to dry individual plates the budget priced 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. Where laboratories require 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. Porvair Sciences Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Porvair plc.
