Porvair Sciences announced a new version of its MiniVap Blowdown Evaporator able to safely remove solvent from up to 48 vials in parallel. Made from solvent resistant black polypropylene the new MiniVap Vial Holder has been designed to accommodate up to 48 vials in a standard SLAS / ANSI format. Incorporating advanced evaporator head technology which directly injects heated nitrogen into 48 HPLC vials simultaneously, the MiniVap removes the traditional laboratory ‘bottleneck’ of solvent evaporation from vials. The MiniVap Blowdown Evaporator removes volatile organic solvents from samples collected in 24- or 96-well microplates and now HPLC vials. Installation requires connection to a gas supply and standard mains socket.
