Genevac’s new generation heat transfer plates for centrifugal evaporators enable almost any deep well plate to be dried up to 50% faster than previously possible.
Evaporation from microplates, especially deep well plates, can be extremely slow. The design of deep well plates makes it particularly difficult for an evaporator system to transfer enough heat for rapid drying, especially with higher boiling point solvents such as water or DMSO. In addition, often the wells in deep-well plates are supported above the level of the skirt and need support to prevent the plate from deforming in a centrifugal evaporator...
