Extraction for Semi-volatiles
Equipment is very easy to use. Training was excellent. Always get any questions answered promptly. Very Pleased with the product.

Pesticide residues in crops
We love that we are able to evaporate an entire batch of samples at one time instead of our old system of just 6 samples. This has cut our extraction time by at least an hour! It is an extremely versatile system and we would definitely recommend it.

Purification of drugs from human blood and urine
The xcelvap works well for complete dry of samples and managing more complex dry down procedures. The unit does not go below 2psi which makes some application a tougher.

pesticide analysis and all routine evaporation for SPE and other testing
If you have struggled with an older evaporation unit that has tied up fume hood space, I would highly recommend this product. We originally purchased this for participation in the FDA AOAC pesticide residue collaborative study to evaporate SPE clean up but it has become the go to evaporation system for all of our work be it concentration of HPTLC extracts or melamine analysis or any other lab step requiring a concentration or drying step. The intelligent design features we love about this unit are the front quick connect drain for the bath (just drain the bath when done right into a bucket then unclick the hose when done) the ability to use different vessel sizes including EPA vials up to 200mL evap vessels, adjustable racks so you can hold different tube lengths (100mm or 150mm for instance) and the ability to prepare one rack while evaporating another. The quick reference card gives you a rapid layout for various racks on where to put the evap needles and where to put caps. However, even better is that if you only have a few samples, you do not need to cap off all the rows of ports. You just deselect those from the gas flow and run gas on the rows where samples are. Another feature is the ramped gas flow which allows you to start with lower gas flow when the tubes are full and increase it as they dry down avoiding splashing as well as gaining speed and you do not have to sit there tweaking valves and checking tubes. The system has a nice easy open top and a clear sight area to check your samples. Best of all, it has its own vent line system and sits on the bench not in the hood greatly reducing traffic backups in the hoods. I and my entire staff are so happy that we have this unit. It has taken the dread out of evaporation when parallel throughput is needed. We have no complaints and the company was accommodating to our special deadline needs and actively checks in to see if we are having any issues or have any questions. This costs more than some evaporators but we are saving a lot of time and money that more than pays for it.

The XcelVap is a great dry down addition to our laboratory. It is easy to use and is flexible in use of tubes and flow rate adjustment.

The XcelVap® is a compact, benchtop nitrogen blowdown system that provides rapid, gentle evaporation of up to 54 sample extracts ranging in size up to 200-mL each.
Liquid/Liquid, continuous, micro or solid phase extractions of environmental, food, clinical or other matrices still need evaporation of solvent to rapidly reduce sample volumes appropriate for the best analytical instrument sensitivity. Evaporation is accomplished by combining consistent heat, controlled sparge gas, and active venting of the solvent vapors. With the XcelVap®, less time and attention are required to prepare reproducible extracts for chromatographic analysis (GC/MS, LC/MS, GC, LC), which improves laboratory productivity.
XcelVap® Features:
- Automated pressure profiling for optimum speed with the most reproducible recoveries
- Nozzles can be individually changed by the user, simplifying maintenance and reducing operating costs
- Easy water bath management with water level sensor and front draining for best performance
- Accommodates many popular sample tubes, providing flexibility for multiple applications
