Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about manually controlled nitrogen blowdown evaporators, specifically the Porvair evaporators designed for microplate sample preparation. These evaporators are intended to optimize laboratory productivity by speeding up the solvent evaporation process.
Specifications: The evaporators are available in two models: MiniVap® and MiniVap® Gemini. They operate on 110v or 220v power supply with a maximum current of 10A. The heaters can be set from ambient temperature to 60°C using TK-32 programmers. The gas inlet sizes are 6mm for MiniVap® and 8mm for MiniVap® Gemini, with a gas pressure requirement of 3 to 7 bar.
Features: The evaporators feature advanced head technology and an innovative manifold design that injects heated nitrogen into each microplate well. They are compact, fitting into standard fume cupboards, and are simple to install and operate. The MiniVap® is designed for low usage, while the MiniVap® Gemini offers two temperature-regulated evaporation positions.
Applications: These evaporators are suitable for low boiling point organic solvents like methanol, dichloromethane, hexane, and acetonitrile. They are not suitable for high boiling solvents such as DMSO and water. The MiniVap® can evaporate 500µl of methanol in less than 6 minutes and is compatible with ANSI/SLAS 96-well plates.
Accessories and Spares: The document lists various accessories and spare parts, including replacement needle heads, vial adaptors, gaskets, and vial holders, each with specific catalog numbers for ordering.
Ordering Information: The MiniVap® Gemini Blowdown Evaporator is available without heads and can be ordered using the catalog number 500234.

Microplate evaporators Porvair evaporators are designed to remove the traditional laboratory ‘bottleneck' of solvent evaporation from microplates prior to analysis or reconstitution in storage buffer. These evaporators give significant throughput advantages to laboratories looking to optimise microplate sample preparation productivity. Faster than centrifugal evaporation, significant increases in sample throughput are achieved through advanced evaporator head technology and an innovative manifold design, which directly injects heated nitrogen into each individual well of the microplate simultaneously....

A two-position nitrogen blowdown concentrator and evaporator for the budget-conscious laboratory Porvair nitrogen blowdown evaporators have for many years been a central resource for sample preparation in the laboratory. The ability to safely and easily remove organic and chromatographic solvents from samples is vitally important. Samples can be dried down and re-constituted in a more suitable solvent, or they may simply be concentrated before analysis to increase sensitivity. The nitrogen blowdown process is ideal for lower boiling point organic solvents such as methanol, dichloromethane, hexane...
