Double your evaporation speeds
Available from Genevac is a range of innovative solid aluminium heat transfer plates precision engineered to fit closely to a wide range of microplates
Evaporation from microplates and microplate sample formats can be extremely slow Their design makes it difficult to transfer enough heat for rapid evaporation, especially with slow drying solvents such as water or DMSO

Optimal drying of microplate samples
Heat transfer plate acts as an insert beneath the plastic microplate facilitating efficient thermal energy transfer directly to the walls of the microplate
Genevac heat transfer plates overcome this problem.
Each transfer plate acts as a snugly fitting insert beneath the plastic microplate facilitating efficient thermal energy transfer from the hot outer surface of the Genevac sample holder directly to the walls of the microplate.
This tight fit ensures maximum heat transfer into the samples for very rapid evaporation rates without the risk of overheating fast drying samples.
By specifying an evaporator with high power lamps, overall drying times for aqueous samples can be cut to just one fifth of that required without heat transfer plates.
Consequently more plates can be dried leading to higher throughput, a key goal for busy laboratories.
Available for microplates from manufacturers including Axygen, Greiner, Nunc, Whatman, Beckman, Corning Costar, Micronic, Polyfiltronics, MultiChem, Matrix, and ABGene these low cost tools have been found to markedly increase laboratory productivity. Request a free brochure from Genevac ...
