Market and Customer Segments Pharmaceutical Biotech Companies Clinical Laboratories Contract Research Organizations Environmental Testing Faculties Forensic and crime laboratories Drugs of Abuse testing Facilities Food and Beverage companies Agrochemical companies Government and Academic Institutions

The TurboVap LV Concentration Evaporator Workstation provides simultaneous evaporation of up to 50 samples. This evaporation system offers many interchangeable tube racks giving you the flexibility for automated low volume sample preparation ranging in volumes size from 1.5 mL to 30 mL. The microprocessor-control provides monitoring of the timed operation and water bath temperature. It also provides automatic gas shutoff and operational diagnostics.

Applications

Automated rapid evaporation and concentration of samples prior to analysis by LC/Ms/MS and other analytical instruments.
