Genevac explains how its latest technology allows large sample volumes to be dried directly into vials helping cut down on both time and errors
SampleGenie 4 is the latest version of Genevac’s technology for direct concentration of large sample volumes into vials, designed for use in the Rocket Synergy Evaporator. SampleGenie technology enables large sample volumes to be dried directly into vials, eliminating a number of time-consuming sample handling steps and the attendant risk of errors. The latest generation SampleGenie is designed to enhance the exceptional capabilities of the original design.
Accommodating sample volumes of up to 250ml, and featuring a new vial adapter insert to suit a range of vials from 12mm to 28mm diameter and up to 70mm tall. SampleGenie 4 has been precision engineered to reduce the risk of vial breakage.
Traditionally protocols for concentration of chromatographic fractions has involved drying multiple fractions in an evaporator, re-suspending pooled fractions into a single vial and then re-drying before storage and analysis. Even with modern centrifugal evaporators such processes typically take two to three days to complete. The development of SampleGenie technology has, said Genevac, revolutionised this process enabling samples in Genevac Rocket Synergy, HT and EZ-2 series evaporators to be dried or concentrated, directly into a single vial eliminating the need for reformatting of samples after drying.
This, and the automation offered by Genevac evaporators simplifies the protocol before storage or analysis. SampleGenie has been designed to remove time consuming manual steps as well as lowering labour costs and improving data reliability.
SampleGenie technology, in conjunction with Genevac evaporators, is finding widespread use in applications including chemical / life science research.
