Genevac Ltd has introduced new technology on its Model HT-4X centrifugal evaporator whereby the system can be used to accelerate lyophilisation of water and water mixtures by as much as 300 per cent.
Lyophilisation traditionally is a lengthy multi-stage process, based upon sublimation, which extracts the water from pharmaceuticals, foods and natural products so that the products remain stable and are easier to store at room temperature. The Lyospeed process combines the company's centrifugal evaporation technology with sample lyophilisation to deliver advances in preparing heat sensitive samples from aqueous solution. Drawing on Genevac's SampleGuard and Dri-Pure technology the HT-4X is able to protect samples that would bump in a traditional freeze drier.
Developed for laboratories where sample purity and speed are important the Model HT-4X offers unmatched speed of evaporation, shorter condenser defrost time, more powerful software and the flexibility to accommodate a wider range of sample formats than any other system in its class.
