Accelerating drying of aqueous or DMSO-based microplate samples
By specifying an evaporator with high power lamps the overall drying times for aqueous or DMSO sample solutions can be cut to just one fifth of that required without heat transfer plates. Consequently more microplates can be safely dried leading to higher throughput, a key goal for busy laboratories.
Traditionally removing solvents such as DMSO or water from microplates has been time consuming because of the poor thermal contact of the microplate with the evaporator sample holder. However Genevac heat transfer plates overcome this problem acting as a snugly fitting insert beneath the microplate facilitating efficient thermal energy transfer from the hot outer surface of the sample holder directly to the walls of the microplate, according to the company.
