Improving HPLC Fraction Pooling Workflow

摘要

Genevac has announced a technical study that illustrates how its innovative SampleGenie~(TM) technology enables removal of steps from a centrifugal evaporator/HPLC fraction pooling protocol thereby significantly improving the workflow. Traditionally HPLC fraction pooling protocols have involved drying multiple fractions in a centrifugal evaporator, re-suspending pooled fractions into a single vial and then re-drying before storage and analysis. Even with modern evaporators such processes typically take 2-3 days to complete. Offering the ability to automatically pool (without robotics) multiple HPLC fractions into a single small sample vial - SampleGenie simplifies the protocol to a single overnight drying step before storage and analysis. Improved speed of evaporation and a reduction in the number of sample transfer steps are highly desirable in a sample preparation method in order to streamline workflow in busy laboratories.
