The externally powered device can recover nearly all solvent, improving laboratory sustainability
Fluid management supplier Biotech Fluidics has sold 17 SPR-200 solvent recycler units to a major pharmaceutical supplier.
The SPR-200 is a stand-alone, externally powered device containing a three-way valve directing liquid stream to a solvent bottle either for reuse or to waste.
“Controlled via an integral LED screen and membrane keyboard, the SPR-200’s user friendly software allows you to configure operational parameters and to perform online monitoring and create an audit trail of recovered solvent,” said Biotech Fluidics CEO Fritiof Ponten.
The solvent recycler continuously monitors the analogue output signal from the chromatographic detector.
An operator can set parameters so that the data is converted to a digital signal that influences the directional valve.
Compatible with most HPLC systems, the SPR-200 can recover up to 90% of the mobile phase by redirecting the pure recovered solvent to a dedicated reservoir during isocratic HPLC. This improves the sustainability of the laboratory while recycling as much solvent as possible.
Earlier this year, Biotech Fluidics released its Degasi life science degassing chamber and more recently, its Bioversal column software.
