TurboVap® 500 Evaporation System
Overview
The TurboVap 500 Concentration Evaporator Workstation is a closed cell evaporation system that provides automated sample concentration and solvent recovery using a helical gas flow and sensor endpoint detection technology. The “helical flow” of air is created by a motor-driven fan. The solvent vapors rise and enter the condenser, condense on the side walls, then run out the drain into a suitable waste or reclamation container. The two position unit accommodates 500mL vessels with either 0.5 mL or 1.0 mL endpoint stems.TurboVap Family of evaporators.
Applications
Automated rapid evaporation and concentration for sample preparation prior to analysis by LC/Ms/MS and other analytical instruments.
