Accelerating Safe Concentration of Accelerated Solvent Extraction Samples

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

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.

Benefiting from a new patented low temperature, low pressure steam heating technology developed by Genevac - the ASE Compatible Rocket Evaporator is able to uniquely 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.

Offering true unattended operation capability the Rocket Evaporator requires no training, even a beginner can competently use the system in less than 5 minutes. A 2-stage cold trap built into the Rocket Evaporator provides very high levels of solvent recovery, even with volatile organic solvents. Requiring no peripherals for operation the compact Rocket Evaporator fits neatly onto a laboratory bench or into a fume hood. All key components on the robust and reliable system are user serviceable ensuring a low the cost of ownership.
