Environmentally Friendly 'Greenhouse Effect'
26 Jun 2007The GreenHouse Blowdown Evaporator from Radleys sets the standard for safe and productive removal of solvents from samples in tubes, vials and microplates.
Unlike traditional blowdown evaporators the environmentally friendly design of the GreenHouse Blowdown Evaporator maintains all of the evaporating solvent in an enclosed system, allowing subsequent trapping and collection via a high performance glass condenser.
Using a precisely controlled flow of inert gas channeled through a multi-pin blowdown plate, combined with digitally controlled heating the system is able to productively remove solvent from up to 24 samples in parallel. Precise heat control and operation at ambient pressure minimises the possibility of sample thermal degradation and cross-contamination due to solvent bumping found with some vacuum evaporators.
The GreenHouse Blowdown system can be used as a stand-alone bench-top personal evaporator as well as offering the upgrade flexibility to perform parallel evaporation post synthesis when integrated with a Radleys GreenHouse Parallel Synthesiser.
