The Genevac Rocket
TM Evaporator is
a powerful tool proven to accelerate traditionally difficult and time consuming
chiral separation and natural product sample preparation tasks.
The Genevac Rocket Evaporator is widely used by researchers seeking to extract
functional molecules from natural sources. Typically investigations
involve a primary solvent extraction of natural products that result in a large
volume of crude extract. The crude extract is then often concentrated
before being fractionated to isolate each component. The time consuming
concentration task has been revolutionised by the unique large volume parallel
processing capabilities of the ROCKET evaporator. The process of natural
product fractionation typically produces many samples from a single
extract. These samples need then to be evaporated before storage or
analysis.
In recent years there has also been considerable interest in the synthesis and
separation of enantiomers of organic compounds especially because of their
importance in the natural products, biotechnology and pharmaceutical
industries. Frequently the methods used for the separations, for monitoring
the progress of an asymmetric synthesis or optical purity are
chromatographic. In preparative syntheses the chiral analytes of interest
are typically separated in large volumes of solvent. Often concentration
or drying of these samples using a rotary evaporator is both time consuming and
may risk thermal degradation of valuable separated chiral products.
Benefiting from a patented low temperature, low pressure steam heating
technology - the Rocket Evaporator is uniquely able to achieve the dual goals
of very fast evaporation with very precise temperature control thereby
accelerating the safe production of chiral separation samples. Able to
dry or concentrate as many as six large volume flasks or 18 ASE tubes
simultaneously - the Rocket Evaporator is fast, safe and provides excellent
recoveries of even the most volatile analytes. In addition Genevac's
patented Dri-Pure® technology prevents solvent bumping and cross contamination
inherent with rotary evaporator and other vacuum evaporation systems.
