Genevac HT-4X evaporators feature the
following equipment as standard:
Dri-Pure
®
(including
Variable Dri-Pure
)
which eliminates sample bumping and
prevents associated problems of sample
loss and cross contamination.
SampleGuard™
for accurate sample
holder temperature control.
Onboard data logging
– files can be
transferred via a USB data key (not
included).
In addition, the following optional
specifications can be added at the time of
ordering. Consult your Genevac
representative for advice on any other
requirements.
Auto defrost and drain
AD&D
enables the uninterrupted
evaporation of mixtures of solvents with
dissimilar boiling points, including HPLC
fractions. The system facilitates the use of
the Genevac
LyoSpeed™
fast
lyophilisation process.
Condenser flusher
For certain solvent applications, periodic
flushing of the condenser can help to
maintain the performance of the
evaporation system.
All vulnerable parts of the evaporator are
manufactured from inert material. A special
software feature conditions the vacuum
pump by pre-warming before use and
purging harmful vapours after use.
Inert gas purge
Air within the vacuum system is displaced
with inert gas prior to starting the
evaporation run, the system also vents with
inert gas at the end of evaporation. Oxygen
levels within the evaporator are maintained
safely below the minimum concentration
limit for the combustion of solvents.
High power lamps
High power
Coolheat
IR lamps can
significantly reduce evaporation times when
evaporating solvents with high latent heat of
evaporation (such as water, methanol or
ethanol).
Remote door open
For systems installed in fume cupboards,
the evaporator door can be opened to clear
fumes before opening the fume cupboard.
