Evaporation Temperature
The Multi Position Evaporation Station mVAP is an option for the
GERSTEL Multi Purpose Sampler MPS. mVAP enables automated
and reproducible evaporation of nearly all commonly used solvents
at only slightly elevated temperatures under moderate vacuum.
• 30 °C … 100 °C, adjustable in steps of 1 °C
System Configuration
Evaporation Time
• Automated operation based on the GERSTEL Multi Purpose
Sampler MPS used as a WorkStation or integrated with a
GC/MS or LC/MS system
• to a maximum of 24 h
• Option for GERSTEL SPE or DPX systems
• 250 … 750 rpm
• Includes a precision adjustable vacuum pump with integrated
solvent recovery system
Performance Examples
