LabTech S.r.l.

Concentrators (aka nitrogen evaporators or nitrogen blowdown concentrators) are a valid alternative to rotary evaporation mainly in case of small volumes (under 50 mL) and a large quantity of samples.

Concentrators accelerate the evaporation by decreasing the partial vapor pressure of the solvent just above the surface of the liquid. Blowdown evaporators use a jet of gas to continually force off the layer of air that is saturated with vapor. By immediately removing molecules that enter the vapor state, the molecules do not have a chance to return to the liquid, which increases the evaporation rate. As said blowdown technique is very useful for small sample volumes because with larger samples nitrogen blowdown will take longer and semi-volatile compounds may be lost. Since the samples are immersed in a water bath, with programmable temperatures up to 100°C, the evaporation is further accelerated. LabTech offers 4 models, 3 of them automated and one manual, hosting different tube sizes to satisfy multiple needs.

LabTech offers a complete range of DigiBlock digestion systems to fit any customer need. The DigiBlock heating surface is made of graphite or aluminum alloy protected by PTFE coating and can accommodate as many as 54 graduated tubes and operates from room temperature up to 450°C. The DigiBlock complies with the highest international standards to perform EPA approved methods. The DigiBlock use low cost, disposable digestion tubes to speed up. The LabTech PP digestion tubes contain no detectable background contaminants and do not require washing with acids prior the use. Different sizes and disposable tubes are available to meet any laboratory needs.

Freeze drying, aka lyophilization or cryodesiccation, is a low temperature dehydration process which involves freezing the product, lowering pressure, then removing the ice by sublimation. With 3 models featuring temperatures from -110°C to -55°C and ice condensing capacity from 3 to 8 kg all goals of a lab can be virtually achieved.

Water may be a source of problems in many compounds and products that have to undergo tests and analysis and as a consequence it has to be removed and since time is a crucial issue it has to be done as quickly as possible. The undisputed advantages of freeze drying vs/ other techniques are the high quality of the final product due to the low temperature used during the process, the original shape of the product maintained and the quality of the d/rehydrated product that is simply excellent.

Make your own high-quality liquid nitrogen, anywhere, anytime. On site liquid nitrogen generation is extremely easy. Experience first-hand the convenience of having the generator in your lab without delivery hassles. Never run out of liquid nitrogen.

Vapors released by liquid nitrogen, due to its very low boiling point (-196,79°C) that instantly transforms it into gaseous state in contact with air, attract everyone’s curiosity but you must not be tricked as it can be very dangerous if not properly handled.

The technology has huge implications for industrial, medical and laboratory applications, removing the need for liquid nitrogen tanker deliveries, which as well as being inconvenient, drive up costs and create potential problems with evaporation and contamination. The control system used gives operators all the information necessary to ensure an efficient and consistent supply of liquid nitrogen and nitrogen gas are always available.

Solid-phase extraction, commonly referred to the acronym SPE, is an extraction technique that uses the affinity of a solid substance (solid phase), generally packed in columns or disks, with one or more substances present in a more or less complex matrix.

Differently than any other systems, the LabTech WSPE vacuum manifold features a patented valve system able to grant precise fl ow control through each cartridge. The WSPE vacuum manifolds allow to process up to 12 (WSPE12) or 24 (WSPE24) samples simultaneously.

The Extrapid manual SPE system is the ideal partner when treatment of large volume samples is required. A unique and fl exible extraction solution for standard and routine SPE needs in environmental analysis.

The Sepaths UP is designed for both cartridge and disk applications to treat samples with different volumes. It automatically treats from 1 to 12 same or different samples, through the whole treatment process, including condition, sample loading, rinsing, elution and concentration.

The SepLine-S automated solid phase extractor is the result of the latest liquid-solid extraction techniques and mass chromatography highest requirements in terms of sensitivity and reproducibility.
