The Ultravap® Mistral from Porvair Sciences is designed to remove the traditional laboratory ‘bottleneck’ of solvent evaporation from microplates. Fully automating the dry-down step has always been impossible because it is difficult to interface liquid handling robots with traditional centrifugal-type evaporators. The Ultravap Mistral design, by dispensing with the rotating arm of the centrifuge, overcomes this problem and is much better positioned to link with your robot. With more than 20 years’ experience in producing deep well microplates, Porvair Sciences has thoroughly researched the problems of drying down organic solvents in plates. This has led to the ultimate microplate blow down evaporator – the Ultravap Mistral.

The Ultravap Mistral is the most sophisticated automation-friendly model yet, giving significant throughput advantages to laboratories looking to optimize microplate sample preparation. The new Ultravap Mistral has been designed in close co-operation with the leading suppliers of laboratory liquid handling robots. The result is a fully robot compatible evaporator, suitable for integration directly with the following leading laboratory liquid handling robots:

Hamilton Robotics l Tecan l Perkin Elmer l Beckman Coulter l Agilent

Designed with the demands of linear robots very much in mind, the Ultravap Mistral offers a plate shuttle which can serve and retrieve plates from the deck of most liquid handlers. The color touch-screen controlled dry down station accepts interchangeable 24-, 48-, 96- or 384-needle heads and comes complete with clear safety screens and integral fume management leading to a 4-inch duct adaptor that incorporates a fan for high speed fume removal.
