Sample Concentration (96-gas needles)

Description

This sample concentration unit from BT Lab Systems is configured with 96 gas needles for processing multiple samples simultaneously. It operates as a vacuum concentrator, utilizing a combination of reduced pressure and controlled heating to evaporate solvents from liquid samples. The instrument has a temperature range of 5 to 150°C, allowing for gentle concentration of heat-sensitive materials or faster evaporation at higher temperatures. The gas needle design typically provides an inert gas flow, such as nitrogen, over each sample to aid in evaporation and prevent sample oxidation or degradation. This configuration is suitable for high-throughput applications in laboratories where concentrating many samples in parallel is required, such as in genomics, proteomics, or analytical chemistry sample preparation.
