The Caliper Life Sciences TurboVap LV Concentration Workstation provide an automated alternative to Rotary and Vacuum-Style Evaporators. Designed to work with tube sizes from 1.5mL to 35mL and evaporate/concentrate up to 50 samples simultaneously. Utilizing a proprietary gas-vortexing action, its fast, unattended operation doubles sample throughput, frees up resources and improvises quality control.
Features and specifications include:
The TurboVap LV Concentration Workstation is a high speed, small volume sample concentrator. It is an efficient alternative to the inconvenient setup, constant monitoring and long evaporation times that are characteristic of conventional techniques – with the added convenience of unattended, automatic operation.
With the TurboVap LV Workstation, you simply “load and leave” your samples. Turn on 1 to 5 manifolds
depending on the number of samples. The automatic timer will alert you when your samples are ready.
The evaporation process is driven by patented gas vortex shearing action, further enhanced by a temperature controlled water bath and adjustable gas flow rates. This combination saves time, bench space and operating costs while improving sample to sample consistency.
The TurboVap LV Workstation offers many interchangeable tube racks giving you the flexibility to process different sample volumes effectively. Most racks can hold up to 50 samples with volumes of 1.5 mL to 30 mL.
Unlike most evaporators, the TurboVap LV system doesn’t need to sit in a hood, wasting valuable space. Solvent vapors are drawn out through an exhaust fan and vented into a hood using the ducting provided.
The evaporator directs the gas flow into the sample tubes at a precise angle. The vortex created by the blowing gas travels down the tube to the solvent surface, where it increases the gas/solvent interface – providing faster evaporation than conventional after methods.
