Vacuum-Free, Closed-System Drying of Radioactive
and other Toxic Compounds
The
Centrifan PE
enables reliable, sample-safe drying of radiolabeled
compounds, diagnostic isotopes, and other toxic solutions. The
lab-scale evaporator
produces its own drying gas flow within a closed system, thus
eliminating potential sample loss and radioactive contamination.

The
system’s novel,
self-generating blow-down technology evaporates solvents
without vacuum. Sample vials are carried in the center of a
centrifugal fan which produces the blow-down gas flow which is
directed at the sample to cause evaporation. The Centrifan PE
also passes some of the recirculating flow carrying evaporated
solvent vapors through a cold trap where solvent vapor is
condensed and collected. In this way, the system condenses the
solvent that it evaporates, and the same recirculating volume of
gas never leaves the confines of the system.
With its
closed system design, the Centrifan PE is ideal for preparing
radiolabeled compounds for mechanism of action studies in drug
discovery and diagnostic isotope preparation of injectable
solutions. It is also useful to synthetic and medicinal
chemists investigating the environmental fate of new compounds
and the toxicology and metabolism of various organisms.
With a small 8 x 12 inch footprint and only 18 inches high, the
self-contained Centrifan PE requires little space and will fit
in a hotcell.
