The miVac SpeedTrap cold trap can now be used for freeze drying or configured as a combined concentration / freeze drying workstation with a miVac vacuum concentrator.
Utilizing the updated cold trap with continuous chill mode in conjunction with the miVac super vacuum pump, up to 250ml of water, or other solvents such as 1,4- dioxane, may be freeze dried in a single operation. Samples to be dried are simply placed in the rotor of the concentrator and dried at full vacuum. The vacuum boils the samples at below their freezing point, therefore the samples freeze and the ice sublimes away, leaving the sample as a dry powder. To reduce drying times, a pre-concentration step, at a controlled vacuum, can be easily incorporated.
Being just 212 mm wide, the cold trap offers a compact and cost-effective solution for low-volume freeze drying. As a combined system, it provides a versatile concentration and freeze drying tool for busy life science labs. Genevac
