Concentration of Extracted Samples a Time Consuming Process

For environmental, food and agricultural scientists that commonly employ solvent extraction techniques - concentration of extracted samples prior to analysis has traditionally been a time consuming manual process involving exposure to organic solvents.

Genevac (UK) has announced the Puck - a new accessory that extends the sampling versatility of its Rocket Evaporator to simultaneously accommodate up to eighteen 60ml Accelerated Solvent Extractor tubes.

Benefiting from a new patented low temperature, low pressure steam heating technology developed by Genevac – the ASE Compatible Rocket Evaporator is able to achieve the dual goals of very fast evaporation with very precise temperature control thereby accelerating the safe concentration of extraction samples. Evaporation of ASE tubes is fast, safe and provides excellent recoveries of even the most volatile analytes. In addition Genevac’s patented Dri-Pure technology prevents solvent bumping and cross contamination inherent with rotary evaporator and other vacuum evaporation systems.
