Sample Concentrator Provides Efficient Preconcentration of Protein Solutions

For laboratories looking to preconcentrate protein solutions before separation (size exclusion chromatography, electrophoresis) or analysis (X-ray crystallography), a new sample concentrator provides a highly efficient, cost-effective alternative to traditional membrane centrifugation techniques.

Using membrane centrifugation, valuable sample is frequently lost due to protein binding to the membrane. By comparison, using a miVac sample concentrator, developed by from Genevac, Ltd. (Ipswich, UK), ensures complete sample recovery even when taking proteins to very high concentrations. For protein laboratories that handle large numbers of protein samples, the miVac also offers the benefit of greatly reduced spending on consumables.

The miVac range has been designed to meet the requirements for fast, yet careful biologic sample concentration. Each miVac sample concentrator is designed to provide very high performance, precise temperature control, and ease of use--all within a small benchtop footprint. miVac sample concentrators are capable of removing water and organic solvents from a variety of sample formats including tubes, microplates, and vials. Built-in stored methods for drying aqueous and alcohol-based samples improve performance and optimize concentration time.

Genevac, an SP Industries company, offers a comprehensive range of evaporators to suit almost any solvent removal application, purchasing budget, or productivity requirement.
