Biotage TurboVap LV Evaporation System

The evaporator of choice for clinical, food and forensic laboratories

The TurboVap LV Evaporation System is an automated high speed, low volume sample concentrator. It is an efficient alternative to the inconvenient set-up, constant monitoring and long evaporation times that are characteristic of conventional techniques. With the TurboVap LV system, you simply “load and leave”. A water bath gives an even temperature and gas flow is delivered over a set time period. Turn on 1 to 5 manifolds depending on the number of samples and the timer will alert you when your samples are ready.







The TurboVap LV is commonly used for evaporation of solvents following solid phase extraction clean-up of drug samples, pesticide extracts, etc. It is ideal for sample volumes of 1 to 30 mL that need to be evaporated in GC vials, microcentrifuge tubes, conical bottom tubes or test tubes. It offers a high throughput solution with 50 sample positions.

TurboVap LV can be used in conjunction with the RapidTrace+ Automated SPE Workstation that collects extracts in 12 x 75 mm, 13 x 100 mm, or 16 x 100 mm test tubes. For acidic solutions, Biotage offer PTFE coated nozzles to prevent corrosion. For volumes greater than 30 mL, an ASE compatible version of the TurboVap LV is available for use in conjunction with Dionex ASE 200 columns.
