High Performance Solvent Trapping
- Posted on 22 September 2009
The SpeedTrap is a cold trap that is developed by Genevac. It provides high performance solvent trapping witha high power compressor running at -50 ºC. All solvents collect in the insulated, plastic coated glass vessel as a liquid, even water.
No time is wasted waiting for the system to defrost. The user can see the progress of evaporation and determine when the trap should be emptied. The collection vessel is removed with a simple quarter turn, allowing users to quickly, easily and safely empty the cold trap.
The trap features a cooled condenser coil, which is efficient, compared to traditional evaporator condenser designs and operates in a novel way. The cold condenser coils are suspended directly in the vapour path. This enables solvent vapours to condense directly onto the coils and run off into the collection vessel below without freezing. This method offers more than twice the condensing power of traditional cold trap systems.
The SpeedTrap technology is available on the latest versions of the Genevac EZ-2 evaporators and as an option with the miVac modular concentrators.
