Volatile analyte containing sample concentration using Genevac technology

Genevac’s evaporator systems can be used to safely prepare samples containing volatile analytes in a wide array of food and beverage applications ranging from testing constituents of beverages and gluten levels in whisky to pesticide analysis of fruit and vegetables, as well as determining vitamin levels in cereals.

Concentration technology in Genevac systems has been developed with leading analytical laboratories worldwide. This, with key technologies like DriPure, ensures that samples are concentrated safely and rapidly.

Genevac EZ-2 and Rocket evaporators, used in conjunction with Samplegenie technology, deliver automation of sample transfer and give good sample recovery and inter-test reproducibility with very low standard deviations.

Samplegenie aids concentration because samples can be concentrated directly into the analysis vial. The system detects when the solvent level enters the vial and, once validated, the method will then concentrate the sample to the required level. If a precise volume is required in the vial, then the sample can be overconcentrated and then made up to the desired level with pure solvent.
