Solvent Evaporators: HT Series

The HT Series from Genevac is a range of high-performance centrifugal evaporators designed with the specific needs of life science research in mind. From the compact HT-4X to our HT-24 system, each HT evaporator carries the hallmark of Genevac design:

• Total sample protection
• Flexibility for multiple applications
• Quick results
• Robust build quality
• Easy to Use
• Comprehensive applications support

The principle behind centrifugal evaporators is very simple; as atmospheric pressure reduces, the boiling point of a given solvent also reduces. When the pressure reaches a certain point, boiling will commence. As boiling occurs, the solvent can ‘bump’ out of the container in an uncontrolled way and spoil the sample. To overcome this, samples can be spun in a centrifuge to apply sufficient g-force to keep everything in the tube. Combining these two principles together produces the vacuum centrifuge, or centrifugal evaporator.
