Essex, UK-based firm Radley's has launched the GreenHouse Blowdown Evaporator, for the safe removal of solvents from samples in tubes, vials and microplates.

The environmentally friendly design of the evaporator maintains all of the evaporating solvent and vapours in an enclosed system, allowing trapping and collection with a high performance glass condenser.

Using a precisely controlled flow of inert gas channelled through a multi-pin blowdown plate and digitally controlled heating, the system can remove solvent from up to 24 parallel samples. These aspects, Radleys says, combined with operation at atmospheric pressure, minimises the possibility of sample damage and cross-contamination due to solvent bumping or splashing that can occur with other vacuum or blowdown evaporators.
