5 Introduction Genevac evaporators are designed to combine rapid and safe evaporation with high capacity and a wide variety of sample formats. In order to optimise the evaporation performance achieved it is important to select the correct sample holder for your particular application. Genevac samples holders are manufactured from solid aluminium to very precise specifications and are mass balanced to ensure smooth running of the evaporator. This guide will help you make the right choice. New Range This guide covers the new range of Genevac sample holders. These holders are easily identifiable as they are coloured bright blue. Any Genevac sample holder which is coloured blue can be used in both the HT series II systems and the EZ-2 series, this was not the case with the old range. Blue holders are not compatible with the old range of holders, to help you choose the correct new holder a cross referenced list can be found on page 33. Should you require an old design of holder, or a holder for a tube not listed, please contact your local Genevac representative or sales agent. Holders that are only to be used in the EZ-2, are identified in this brochure with the following; EZ-2 ONLY. Holders that are only to be used in the HT Series II, are identified in this brochure with the following; HT Series II ONLY. Some holders may not be used in EZ-2 mk1. The EZ-2 mk1 can be easily identified by the large circular window in the chamber lid, EZ-2 mk2 has a solid lid with a small tear drop window. These holders are identified in the brochure with the following: NOT EZ-2 mk1. Definitions Geometry 1 Tube holder indicates that the sample holder is designed to accommodate a tube with a hemispherical end. 2 A vial or bottle holder indicates that the sample holder is designed to accommodate a vial or bottle with a flat end. 3 Tubes with conical or tapered ends are individually identified Issue 4-9 January 2009 Page 3

6 Factors affecting evaporation performance Heat transfer One of the major factors determining speed of evaporation is the rate at which heat is transferred to your sample. More heat transferred means faster evaporation. These are the ways that the EZ-2, HT series II, DD-4, R-4 and Mega evaporators give you the best heat transfer: 1 High quality aluminium rotors and holders. Aluminium is recommended for its properties of high thermal conductivity and low weight. Genevac systems use aluminium sample holders, which have particularly efficient heat transfer properties. 2 High quality engineering. Genevac samples holders are manufactured to very precise specifications. This means your tubes fit very snugly into the tube holders. Any gaps would slow down the rate of heat transfer. For this reason it is important you send us a sample of your tube when placing orders for sample holders. Protective coatings Sample holders Standard aluminium sample holders are Hard Anodised (naturally unsealed) for protection against all normal organic solvents, including strong acids such as TFA. HCl or Thionyl Chloride When evaporating HCl or Thionyl Chloride it will be necessary to purchase both a HCl/Thionyl Chloride resistant system (comprising of: evaporator, condenser and pump) and HCl/Thionyl Chloride resistant sample holders. In this case the aluminium rotor and sample holders are coated to ensure resistance to attack from HCl/Thionyl Chloride. Maximum Capacity Genevac uses the latest in computer aided design technology to ensure internal capacity is maximised whilst the instrument footprint is kept to an absolute minimum. This means high throughput evaporation is possible from an instrument taking up a small amount of bench top space. Page Issue 4-9 January 2009

7 Minimising Tube Breakage Not only does precision design of Genevac sample holders contribute to excellent heat transfer and superior evaporation performance, it also ensures that tubes have maximum protection from breakage during evaporation. For additional protection against glassware breakage, some flask holders and some tube holders are provided with thermal cushions. Thermal cushions are made from a filled polymer with excellent heat transfer and cushioning properties. Only borosilicate tubes with wall thickness more than 1.2mm should be used in Genevac evaporators. Old, damaged or scratched glassware should not be used. Laboratories that reuse tubes or vials should regularly inspect each tube or vial for damage, and discard scratching or cracked items. For more information and advice on this subject, please refer to our Safe Loading document available to download from our web site. Maintenance Regular inspection and maintenance of sample holders should be performed at least monthly. The following inspection routine is mandatory following tube breakage or solvent spillage. Never use wet sample holders in a Genevac system. Inspection: Visually inspect and sample holders each month. Debris - should be cleaned off, especially any in the sample holder wells as this may lead to glassware breakage. The number one cause of repeat glassware breakage is glass fragments from a previously broken tube. Sometimes the sample sticks the glass to the inside of a sample holder well and it is therefore difficult to remove. Residual solvent / sample - should be cleaned off. Superficial surface damage (e.g. scratches) will not affect the performance of a sample holder. If a sample holder is structurally damaged, (any part of the sample holder bent of deformed) - do not use - contact Genevac for evaluation. Cleaning: Loose dirt / debris can be removed using a brush and / or airline. Adhered dirt / debris or sample / solvent residue should be cleaned off using methanol or acetone, soaking the sample holders if required. The sample holders should then be washed in clean water and fully dried before use Issue 4-9 January 2009 Page 5

8 Custom Design for Special Application As the market leader in centrifugal evaporation, we have already designed holders for the majority of applications. Please examine the list on the following pages, for the correct part number. However, should you have a special application or unusual tube size then we can design a special holder for you. Please note there is a nominal charge to cover design time for this service. Our experienced sales team (or international distributors) will be pleased to advise you of the options available. Rotors For information on our rotors, please refer to the Quick Guide to HT Series Rotors available to download from our web site. Page Issue 4-9 January 2009

25 Microplate Heat Transfer Plates Not only can Genevac offer precision manufactured sample holders providing excellent evaporation results for laboratory glassware, there is a range of sample holders that improve evaporation when using deep well microtitre plates. These holders, Heat Transfer Plates, are designed to support the wells of the plate, to fit precisely to the base of the wells, and where possible, to fit to the sides of each well. Heat transfer plates confer two main benefits: Excellent heat transfer rates, and reduced evaporation times from micro plates by up to 50% - for more details view the study available on the Genevac website using the following link: Support for micro plates when used in open swings, preventing direct heating by lamps that may be harmful, and preventing plates becoming deformed by heat and G-force. Heat transfer plates are available for use in open swings, side bridge swings, and most Fast Stack holders. Heat transfer plates MUST be used when using microtube cluster racks, e.g. Micronics or ABgene racks, in Genevac open swings. If you would like a micro plate evaluated to see if a suitable Heat Transfer Plate exists, or would like further information, please contact your Genevac representative Issue 4-9 January 2009 Page 23

31 Waters Fraction Collection Racks Genevac offer a range of innovative options that help interface your fraction collection system directly to the Genevac HT series evaporator. Currently Gilson 215 and Waters 2767 systems are supported. To interface with the fraction collections system, Genevac provide a simple sample holder carrier which fits directly on to the fraction collection bed. Genevac sample holders fit into the carrier to make up a complete fraction collection rack. Once fractions have been collected, the sample holders can be placed directly into the Genevac evaporator with no need to label, mark or manipulate each tube. Sample holders can be marked to indicate location within the fraction collection rack. There are a range of options, some use standard sample holders, some use specially designed holders which keep the spacing between tubes uniform, and reduce fraction collector reprogramming. Waters 2767 users will require the adaptor plate when using 16mm diameter tubes. A separate range of Genevac designed holders exists for use with Genevac Mega systems (see page 22). A technical article discussing these issues in greater detail is available upon request from your Genevac representative. If you would like further information, please contact your Genevac representative Issue 4-9 January 2009 Page 29
