The Ultravap Levante nitrogen blow-down evaporator uses technology from the manufacturer’s Ultravap Mistral series of robot-ready, integration compatible evaporators. The classic single-plate evaporator has been redesigned to make it even easier to integrate an automatic dry-down step into biological sample preparation protocols.
With the needs of LC/MS users in mind, the instrument offers rapid programmable dry-down of samples dissolved in common chromatography solvents such as acetonitrile, dichloromethane and methanol. With 10 stored programs and a full colour screen, it is easy to use and highly productive. The plate stage can be programmed to rise as evaporation proceeds, ensuring faster dry-down. Both gas temperature and flow rate can be programmed for each stage of a dry-down method and stored in instrument memory. RS232 connection allows it to be controlled from a computer or liquid-handling robot in addition to an integral touchscreen. A choice of spiral or straight blow-down needles enables fast results to be achieved with every type of microplate. Porvair Sciences
