System Overview
TurboVap

96 Dual is an automated well plate evaporation
system that can process two well plates simultaneously, either
in dual or single evaporation mode.
Each well plate can be heated from above using heated gas and
from below using forced air convection. To ensure consistency
between evaporation runs, both the gas temperature and the
plate temperature can be pre-programmed to prevent cold
starts.
The system software has three different modes,
Manual mode
,
Time mode
, and
Method mode
. Method mode allows for the
time, the gas flow, the gas temperature, the plate temperature,
and the lift height to be specified and ramped.
The system uses manifolds with 24, 48 or 96 nozzles, to allow
for processing of up to 96 samples in each cabinet. The left and
right cabinet can perform simultaneous evaporation runs with
varying size well plates, varying size manifolds and varying
configurations. Alternatively, the same setup can be used in
both cabinets.
Using any of the collection plates or the 12 x 32 mm collection
rack for Extrahera, it is possible to collect samples in Extrahera
and directly run them through the evaporation process in
