Genevac miVac centrifugal sample concentrator range

Genevac has announced the second generation of its miVac centrifugal sample concentrator range.

The product incorporates an improved pressure controller with intuitive programming and graphical display, making it even easier to use. It also features solid aluminium JetRotors, enabling high-speed evaporation.

The concentrators are suitable for use with a wide range of solvents, from volatile organic types through to water and many medium boiling point solvents. Capable of removing solvents from a variety of sample formats, including tubes, microplates and vials, they can also be used to freeze dry aqueous samples. There is a choice of three medium to high vacuum pumps and a dedicated DNA system with built-in pump.

The concentrators feature built-in special methods for working with alcohols, water and water mixtures to improve performance and optimise concentration times. They also feature SpeedTrap — a frost-free, refrigerated cold trap that minimises the traditional time required to dispose of removed solvent.

The concentrators are quiet when in use and are said to be up to 40% faster than comparable biological sample concentrators.
