Genevac autostop when dry control software

The latest version of Genevac’s autostop when dry control software allows the company’s EZ-2, Rocket and HT-Series evaporators to automatically detect when the samples are dry and then shut down, safeguarding valuable samples from potential thermal degradation. Combined with Genevac’s continuous running condensers, the software allows easy unattended operation offering the possibility of significant increases in productivity through use of overnight evaporation runs.

Evaporator users previously had to constantly monitor or estimate the drying time for a given sample. The autostop when dry control software overcomes this problem by using one of two methods to determine when dryness has been reached and then automatically shutting down the evaporator without further user intervention.

With Genevac evaporators, the software detection of sample dryness is determined either by the rate of heat flow into the sample or by temperature convergence using prepositioned probes in the sample holder and sample. Either method offers significant time savings over traditional manual methods, as well as freeing up operator time for other more productive tasks.
