Genevac Dri-Pure evaporation technology

Genevac’s Dri-Pure technology, available on Series 3 HT, EZ-2 and Rocket Synergy evaporators, enables scientists to rapidly dry their samples without foaming, cross-contamination or loss of sample due to solvent bumping.

The technology works by reducing pressure in the evaporation chamber in combination with an increase in rotor speed to achieve greater g-force and carefully controlling heat flow to the sample during the pressure ramping stage. Embedded in the company’s evaporator software and hardware, it works automatically without need for user intervention, eliminating solvent bumping or foaming and enabling controlled ‘sample safe’ solvent removal in the minimum time.

The technology has been shown to eliminate cross-contamination during parallel evaporation in EZ-2 and HT evaporators. Used on the Rocket Synergy evaporator, it has been more recently demonstrated to prevent foaming often seen in batch evaporation of large volumes such as are generated by natural product extractions.

Combining Dri-Pure with the auto-stop-when-dry capability, Genevac evaporators offer unattended evaporation, enabling scientists to perform other tasks while confident that their samples will be dried without cross-contamination or thermal damage.
