The evaporator of choice for evaporation from 96-well plates

The Biotage TurboVap 96 Concentration Workstation is a high speed concentrator designed to work with deep or shallow 96-well plates. It is an efficient alternative to the constant monitoring and long evaporation times that are characteristic of conventional techniques—with the added bonus of unattended operation.







The evaporation process is driven by Biotage’s patented gas-vortex action, further enhanced by a temperature controlled environment and adjustable gas flow rates. This combination saves time, bench space and operating costs while improving the evaporation speed and sample-to-sample consistency.

In genomic and proteomic applications, the evaporation of DMSO from plates is a common application of the TurboVap 96. As is drying HPLC aqueous solvent mixtures of methanol or acetonitrile, TurboVap 96 complements automated 96-well SPE workstations that are widely used for drugs of abuse determination and other pharmaceutical SPE methods.

Main advantages of the TurboVap 96:

  • Patented vortex shearing technology
  • Operators are free to perform more important tasks
  • No “bumping” means no re-working of samples
  • User-friendly displays and diagnostics
  • Convenient bench top size—no hood space
