Rocket beats rotary when evaporating natural products
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. Rotary evaporators have commonly been used for this operation, but Genevac says the result…
Lyophilisation webinars for autumn 2012
A NEW programme of free educational webinars on lyophilisation and freeze drying has been announced for August, September, and October 2012. On 23 August 2012, Yves Mayeresse, director of manufacturing at GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals, discusses ‘Challenges and Opportunities When Scaling Up…
Evaporator protects samples and increases productivity
GENEVAC’s HT Series II evaporators are equipped with the company’s proprietary SampleGuard temperature control technology to automatically detect when samples are dry, initiating the shutdown of evaporation and thereby protecting valuable samples from potential thermal degradation. Combined with the company’s…
Maintaining charpy impact specimens at precise temperature
A LOW temperature bath that provides metallurgists and testing laboratories with precise temperature control when cooling specimens for impact testing has been launched by SP Scientific. The new CharpyCool has one of the smallest footprints on the market, the company…
Freeze drying course goes back to basics
A NEW four-part online training course to help scientists acquire a basic understanding of freeze drying – a prerequisite for those working on lyophilisation processes – has been announced by SP Scientific. The training course is presented by industry expert…
Drying of aqueous HPLC fractions made faster and easier
A HIGH throughput method for drying high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fractions containing water is described in a new white paper from Genevac. Many lab workers experience difficulty in drying HPLC purification fractions. While the more volatile acetonitrile and methanol…
Evaporators optimised for environmental research
MONITORING substances that are potentially harmful to health is a core activity for many organisations, including government agencies and private firms checking they are not harming their staff or the environment. Atmospheric, water, soil, and vegetable samples are routinely monitored…
How to evaporate solvents from DNA and other specimens
THE REMOVAL of water and organic solvents from samples of DNA, RNA, and other biological specimens is a slightly more delicate task than the average laboratory evaporation procedure. Samples are typically of low volume and are heat-sensitive, and so may…
Faster sample prep for sports doping tests
IN THIS Olympic year the issue of sports doping is high on the agenda, and just this week the London Olympic organisers provided a preview of the anti-doping laboratory in Essex, UK, which will be charged with testing athletes’ urine…
