The Raykol MPE Pro is a fully automated vacuum parallel evaporation system engineered to maximize sample concentration efficiency in the laboratory.
By offering independent control over vacuum levels, temperature, and vortex agitation, the instrument can process up to 48 samples simultaneously. This guarantees excellent recovery rates and total reproducibility, making it the ideal preparation step prior to chromatographic analyses (GC-MS, LC-MS).
The MPE Pro overcomes the limitations of traditional rotary evaporators and nitrogen blowdown systems.
The combination of precise water bath heating and orbital vortexing drastically accelerates the evaporation process without overheating the analytes. Its compact footprint and fully digital interface allow laboratories to optimize fume hood space and free staff from continuous manual monitoring.
Key Features
- High Parallel Capacity: enables simultaneous evaporation of a large number of samples (up to 48 positions), significantly reducing bottlenecks in sample preparation.
- Adjustable Vortex Agitation: programmable orbital shaking speed increases the liquid surface area, accelerating the process uniformly while preventing sample bumping.
- Precise Vacuum and Temperature Control: PID monitoring and regulation of both the water bath temperature and vacuum gradients, protecting thermolabile compounds from degradation.
- Solvent Discharge and Recovery: integrated system for vapor channeling and solvent condensation, minimizing harmful laboratory emissions and ensuring operator safety.
- Touchscreen Interface & Method Storage: built-in color touchscreen for quick creation, storage, and recall of multi-step methods, featuring real-time process parameter tracking.
Applications
The Raykol MPE Pro integrates seamlessly into extraction and clean-up workflows (e.g., SPE, QuEChERS) across various industries:
- Food safety, pesticide residue, and contaminant analysis
- Environmental monitoring (organic micro-pollutants in water and soil)
- Pharmaceutical research and natural product screening
- Forensic toxicology and anti-doping testing.
