Genevac centrifugal evaporators have become sample preparation tools of choice for laboratories that seek to analyse complex samples using hyphenated mass spectrometry [MS] techniques.

Many laboratories still rely upon the use of a rotary or nitrogen blowdown evaporator to perform the evaporation part of their sample preparation protocol prior to LC-MS or GC-MS analysis. While rotary evaporator methods often give good recoveries, they can only handle a single sample, as well as requiring continuous monitoring to control the process and to ensure that no foaming or bumping occurs.

Sample Preparation for Metabolite Profiling – The Genevac evaporator provided the optimal balance between speed and minimal compound degradation during the evaporation step, and eliminated interferences with mobile phase buffers from the LC solvents.
