Porvair Sciences Ultravap® Mistral (fitted with high guard) 500197

The Ultravap® Mistral fitted with High Plate guard (500197) is an automated blowdown evaporator for controlled solvent evaporation from microplates, vials and tubes. It provides a flat-front, robot-compatible platform shuttle for direct interfacing with liquid-handling systems and an integrated gas delivery and heating system (up to 80 °C) to achieve reproducible, clean concentration while keeping the bulk of samples at ambient temperature. Typical use cases include automated plate or vial dry-down in sample preparation workflows requiring walkaway automation and integrated fume management.

Key Features:

• Model: Ultravap® Mistral fitted with High Plate guard, no head (500197)
• Automation-friendly flat-front profile with motorised plate shuttle for robot interfacing
• Supports interchangeable needle heads in 12, 24, 48, 96 and 384 formats (heads ordered separately)
• Programmable gas temperature up to 80 °C and on-board digital flow control
• Holds ANSI/SLAS-format microplates or tube/vial holders up to 50 mm high
• Stores up to 15 evaporation programmes with up to 5 programmable steps per method
• Built-in fume management/duct connector and LED sample illumination

Advantages:

• Enables walkaway automation by robotic integration through a flat-front shuttle design
• Delivers reproducible evaporation via precise gas temperature, flow control and programmable needle-depth steps
• Minimises cross-contamination and preserves sensitive samples by heating only the sample surface
• Integrated fume venting and LED lighting improve safety and sample visibility during concentration
