  • Page 10: Introduction

    Figure 1. TurboVap 96 Gas Vortex Shearing Action The TurboVap 96 uses a patented “gas vortex shearing action” to maintain high evaporation rates under mild thermal conditions. When you close the cover, 96 gas nozzles in the manifold align with each well of the microplate or deepwell plate.

  • Page 11: Microplate Heating

    Vapor Removal The solvent vapors are removed by a blower at the front of the TurboVap 96 that blows air across the top of the microplates and through the exhaust port at the back of the workstation. From the exhaust port, the venting hose must be routed to a suitable outside ventilation system.

  • Page 12: Requires No Exhaust Hood

    Deepwell plates are placed directly on the surface of the locator plate. Microplates use the supplied adapter to position the top of the microplate at the same level as the top of a deepwell plate. P/N 128097 Rev. 00 TurboVap 96 User’s Manual Biotage AB...
