GENEVAC has launched a new website to expound the benefits of its Rocket high speed evaporation system over alternative rotary evaporators when drying natural product extractions.
Genevac’s microsite for the Rocket evaporator
Rotary evaporators have commonly been used for this operation, but Genevac says the result is slow and prone to contamination issues caused by solvent bumping and foaming samples. Even when successful, this technique may leave scientists to scrape out their samples from the walls of the rotary evaporator flask.
The company says the Rocket system solves all these problems. It can evaporate up to six flasks in parallel, and dry these directly into a vial.
Rocket runs automatically and eliminates bumping and foaming, leading to a ‘transformation’ in productivity. Genevac’s proprietary SampleGenie technology boosts the Rocket further, enabling samples to be concentrated directly into a vial and so eliminating flask scraping and consequent sample losses.
