Porvair Microplate Evaporators

Porvair microplate evaporators are designed to remove the traditional laboratory ‘bottleneck’ of solvent evaporation from microplates prior to analysis or reconstitution in storage buffer. These evaporators give significant throughput advantages to laboratories looking to optimise microplate sample preparation productivity.

Faster than centrifugal evaporation, significant increases in sample throughput are achieved through advanced evaporator head technology and an innovative manifold design, which directly injects heated nitrogen into each individual well of the microplate simultaneously.

The evaporators have been designed to be simple to install, operate and maintain. Installation requires only connection to a gas supply or cylinder and mains electricity. Safety of operation is ensured as the CE marked compact units fit into all fume cupboards.

Porvair offers different instruments that range from an entry level manual system that is ideal for the occasional user, to systems that are more automated and can be built into lab automation systems for higher throughput of samples.

MiniVap is designed for low usage research and development departments where low numbers of individual plates or vials need drying. Manual control of the needle depth, gas temperature and flow rate, it allows fine control and quicker drying times than other standard methods.

Minivap Gemini enables you to dry down two 96 well plates simultaneously on the same instrument. Each evaporator head has its own temperature controller and heater manifold to give you excellent control over the drying process.

Ultravap Levante brings you many of the benefits associated with our flagship evaporator, the Ultravap Mistral, in an affordable, automation-ready package.

Ultravap Mistral is the most sophisticated automation-friendly model yet, giving significant throughput advantages to laboratories looking to optimise microplate sample preparation.
