Working in partnership Genevac and Bigneat Containment Technology have provided a safety solution that solves the problem of fume containment in high throughput evaporation. For sometime Genevac has been developing a large high-throughput centrifugal evaporate for a prestige customer in Germany. The customer’s strict H&S requirements did not allow for extraneous solvent vapour to enter the laboratory during loading and unloading of the evaporator. With no walk-in fume hood available at customer site, Genevac turned to fume control experts Bigneat Containment Technology to develop a solution that me the customer’s needs.

A specially designed enclosure that exactly fits the new Genevac HT-24 was the answer. Bigneat Containment Technology and Genevac engineers have created a fume hood that whilst allowing easy access to both evaporation chambers completely minimises the risks from drifting residual fumes from the chambers during loading.

Tough Perspex construction combines wit smart industrial design to create an efficient fume hood for this application that complements the modern design of the HT-24 from Genevac.

The completed construction system was recently delivered to the customer and after acceptance testing, the end users pronounced themselves delighted with their new fume hood and evaporator.
