Economical way to simplify sample
preparation
Tool transforms an ordinary laboratory rotary evaporator into a productive tool that can evaporate up to 33 samples simultaneously without breaking the budget
Available from Advanced ChemTech the new ActEvap transforms an ordinary laboratory rotary evaporator into a productive tool that can evaporate up to 33 samples simultaneously without breaking the budget The ActEvap comes with a series of interchangeable racks that will accommodate all common laboratory vial sizes (4, 7.4, 20, 22 and 40ml.) facilitating most scales of evaporation

Publication of the 2003-2004 edition of popular Handbook of Combinatorial, Organic and Peptide Chemistry is announced, and copies are available free to researchers
ACT will also provide if necessary custom manufactured racks to fit vials of other sizes.
ActEvap is manufactured from an advanced composite material chosen for its robustness, chemical resistivity and high thermal conductivity.
When the unit is immersed in a hot water bath it responds quickly to reach an equilibrium temperature.
In conjunction with a rotary evaporator or a hot plate attached to a vacuum source the ActEvap can remove a wide range of solvents including volatile liquids such as trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and very high boiling liquids such as dimethylformamide (DMF).
With ActEvap vials can be transferred directly from an Advanced ChemTech cleavage module, eliminating the need for liquid transfer and with it the potential for introducing contamination.
Each ActEvap vial has a patent pending anti-bump cap and closure further minimising the chances of sample loss or cross-contamination.
The ActEvap also delivers the benefit of parallel sample processing to samples that are prepared by lyophilisation.
