Introduction
The TurboVap 96 Concentration Workstation is a microprocessor-
controlled instrument that provides simultaneous, automated
concentration of multiple samples, unattended operation,
convenience, and speed. The TurboVap 96 can simultaneously
process one or two 96-well microplates or deepwell plates.

Gas Vortex Shearing Action
The TurboVap 96 uses a patented “gas vortex shearing action” to
maintain high evaporation rates under mild thermal conditions.
When you close the cover, 96 gas nozzles in the manifold align with
each well of the microplate or deepwell plate. A helical flow of air is
created by the stream of gas directed into each well. The helical
flow sets up a vortexing action that provides for sample
homogeneity and continuous rinsing of the well wall. The TurboVap
96 enables you to independently control the gas flow rate for
Position 1 and Position 2.
