The TurboVap 500 Concentration Evaporator Workstation is a closed cell evaporation system that provides automated sample concentration and solvent recovery using a helical gas flow and sensor endpoint detection technology. The “helical flow” of air is created by a motor-driven fan. The solvent vapors rise and enter the condenser, condense on the side walls, then run out the drain into a suitable waste or reclamation container. The two position unit accommodates 500 mL vessels with either 0.5 mL or 1.0 mL endpoint stems. Biotage delivers the most efficient and rapid solvent evaporation systems for chemistry laboratories around the world.

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

Features

• Patented vortex shearing technology
• Unique sensor endpoint detection
• Operators are free to perform more important tasks, further improving lab productivity
• No “bumping” means NO re-working of samples, saving hundreds of dollars weekly
• Solvent vapor recovery system –laboratory emissions can be greatly reduced
• Reduce facility costs by eliminating the need for a fume hood
• User Friendly Displays and Diagnostics
• Convenient Benchtop Size - no hood space required
