The concentrating or complete evaporation of samples, including in the areas of environmental analysis, bioanalysis, forensics, toxicology, and quality control, is often a very time-consuming step.
With the systems of TurboVap series of Caliper Life Sciences, important process parameters are crucial to improve work in this step.
Helical flow of gas
The patented Gaseinströmungsverfahren has proven worldwide for over 10 years in more than 4000 systems, and convinced by its advantages. The principle is to create a helical gas flow, the spiral flow to the wall of the sample containers down onto the liquid surface without hindering the resulting vapor stream. This solvent vapor can rise by no turbulence very quickly to the top ("chimney effect"). The method works well at low temperatures so that heat sensitive and volatile substances can be concentrated without being discharged with the solvent.
Also for the extracts from Caliper's Rapid Trace SPE Workstation ® and workstations are the TurboVap ® ideal for gentle concentration.
This results in high recovery rates, virtually no cross-contamination, and no sedimentation of substances on the vessel walls. The concentration is up to 10 times faster than with conventional systems.
The TurboVap ® systems work without supervision of time and / or sensor and switch in accordance with the user-set parameters automatically with a beep. With the included exhaust hose is the operation of the systems can also be an outside trigger.
The TurboVap ® Series at a Glance
The TurboVap ® LV offers max. 50 places for different sample containers (including Eppendorf caps) is a volume range from 1.5 to 30 ml The direct use of Dionex ASE vessels possible. The nozzles are arranged in 5 rows, each row individually controlled and is the gas consumption reduced.
The TurboVap ® II is working time and / or sensor to 6 seats with 50 ml or 200 ml and 40 ml ASE glasses.Optical sensors monitor the process, so that the evaporation is stopped at a predetermined ml final volume of 0.5 or 1.0. All 6 seats are individually controlled, so that the gas be kept minimal.
The TurboVap ® 500 is an excellent alternative to rotary evaporators dar. 2 parallel evaporation of 500 ml with which are controlled individually, it is also working time and / or sensor controlled. The principle of helical inflow is generated here by means of two Teflon rotor blades that rotate with flexible adjustable speed. Solvent recovery is possible by the system built-in cooler.
The TurboVap ® 96 evaporated from parallel 96-well or deep well plates, and is all in Bioanalysis (DNA, RNA, proteins) used above. The parameters for the two plates can be set independently.
