The GERSTEL Multi-Position Evaporation Station (mVAP) performs solvent evaporation enabling automated sample concentration for lower detection limits as well as solvent exchange for improved chromatography and LC/MS ionization. Concentration is performed at user defined temperature, agitation and vacuum for best possible protection of the samples.
Many combinations option
Concentration in the mVAP can be combined with a wide variety of sample preparation and clean-up techniques such as SPE, dispersive SPE (DPX), liquid/liquid extraction or filtration with the significant benefit of automated injection of the concentrated sample into a GC/MS or LC/MS system. Every step is controlled using the MAESTRO PrepBuilder. Just one method and one sequence table are needed for the entire process including GC/MS or LC/MS analysis.
mVAP features and benefits:
Efficient concentration of extracts and solutions under controlled conditions, user defined temperature, vacuum and agitation levels
