Porvair Ultravap® Mini
The Ultravap® Mini from Porvair Sciences is a compact, bench-top solvent evaporator specifically designed for low-throughput applications, making it particularly well-suited to research and development settings where limited numbers of microplates or vials require controlled and efficient drying. With user-friendly manual control of needle depth, gas temperature, and flow rate, the system enables precise adjustment for optimised evaporation and reduced drying times. Installation is simple, requiring only a gas supply and a standard mains socket, while its lightweight, space-efficient design fits within all standard fume cupboards.
Fully compatible with ANSI/SLAS standard microplate formats, the Ultravap® Mini offers a high degree of flexibility through interchangeable evaporator heads suitable for 12, 24, 48, 96, and 384-well plates. It provides a practical, reliable solution for laboratories requiring low-volume solvent evaporation, combining operational simplicity with reliable performance.
