GreenHouse Blowdown Evaporator
Move away from processing samples one at a time by streamlining your post-purification evaporation with GreenHouse Blowdown. Perform parallel evaporation of samples in either 8 or 24 vials, tubes or microtiter plates.
This compact evaporation system allows you to either upgrade your existing GreenHouse Plus Parallel Synthesiser to perform parallel evaporation, or to purchase as a separate stand alone benchtop evaporator.
GreenHouse Blowdown Evaporator
Environmentally-friendly parallel evaporation of chemistry samples and HPLC fractions
Be productive
Perform parallel evaporation on multiple samples simultaneously. Evaporation is directly from your sample vial.
Be green
Trap your solvent and prevent release into the atmosphere.
Be precise
Digital temperature control offers precise management of evaporation rate and temperature; protecting sensitive samples.
Be compatible
Microtiter plate footprint fits your automated process or robotic platform.

- Precise control of inert gas flow combined with digital control of heating carefully evaporates your samples
- Interchangeable pin plates with either 8 or 24 hollow blowdown pins deliver an equal flow of gas to each tube, vial or well
- The absence of a vacuum avoids bumping, protecting the sample during evaporation
- Nickel plated aluminium offers excellent chemical resistance
- Easy viewing of samples during evaporation
- Optional flowmeter precisely controls flow of inert drying gas

Accommodates GreenHouse tubes, vials and microtiter plates
- GreenHouse reaction tubes can be evaporated directly in the standard GreenHouse reaction block without the need to load or reload the block
- A selection of vial racks are available to hold the most popular vial sizes in 6 x 4 and 4 x 2 arrays

Compatible with:
- 0.5 ml to 7 ml GreenHouse tubes
- 8 or 24 position vial racks
- 13 mm, 13.8 mm, 15 mm, 24.3 mm & 27.8 mm ø vials
- 8 or 24 well microtiter plates

GreenHouse Blowdown Systems
Insert the blowdown adaptor into the Greenhouse Base to accept vial racks or titer plates.

Or you can use the dedicated, low profile, Blowdown Base.
- Enclosed design contains evaporating solvent, allowing subsequent trapping and collection of solvent via a high performance glass condenser.
- Precise heat control and the absence of a vacuum protects your sample and avoids bumping.
- Safety relief valve on inlet prevents over-pressure during operation.
- Removable head features quick-release handles for easy exchange of Blowdown pin plates.
- Select the appropriate Blowdown pin plate. Interchangeable plates with either 8 or 24 hollow pins deliver an equal flow of gas to each tube, vial or well.
- Digitally controlled heating from the hotplate gently adds energy to the sample to speed the evaporation process.
