Safe preparation of samples with volatile analytes


Evaporator systems safely prepare samples containing volatile analytes for a wide array of food and beverage applications. Applications range 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.

 

Quality and safety testing of food and beverages is an area of considerable importance where accurate analytical results are critical. In common with many other applications, careful sample preparation is critical, especially when the analyte of interest is volatile.

 

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. The Genevac EZ-2 and Rocket evaporators, in conjunction with Samplegenie technology, provide automation of sample transfer along with a high degree of sample recovery and inter-test reproducibility with very low standard deviations. Samplegenie allows samples to 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 over concentrated and then made up to the desired level with pure solvent. Genevac
