Affordable Single Plate Evaporator Launched Porvair Sciences has launched its new generation Ultravap®
Levante nitrogen blowdown sample evaporator. The second generation system offers the many benefits associated with Porvair’s flagship evaporator, the Ultravap® Mistral, in
an affordable, easy-to-use package. This state-of-the-art single microplate evaporator is designed to meet the current needs of most chromatography laboratories whilst providing the future option of fully automating sample dry-down in applications such as LC/MS analysis, dry recovery or reconstitution.
The compact, standalone Ultravap® Levante is fully programmable and easy to control from a robot liquid handler. Its advanced
head technology enables delivery of evaporation temperatures up to 80°C for faster solvent evaporation rates. If required the system has the option to be fitted with ducted fan fume extraction.
Operated via an intuitive graphical colour LED touchscreen, software features includes up to 5 stored alphanumerically named programmes and multi-step evaporation programmes. This functionality combined with real-time run displays showing actual gas temperature, gas flow rate and stage height means the Ultravap®
Levante puts you in full control of the evaporation process. A removable acrylic splash guard safeguards the
operator and also ensures efficient removal of the solvent vapour from the evaporation table. The Ultravap®
Levante is supplied with an evaporator head of your choice, which may be interchanged quickly and easily with a head of a different
pattern as your workflow demands. The precision engineered mechanism uses a standard ANSI/SLAS plate nest to accept most microplate formats and tube racks. It can accommodate tubes up to 50mm in height in a variety of configurations to allow the use of 2 Dram vials, 1.5ml HPLC vials, bar-coded tubes in racks and many other common formats. Evaporator heads are available for efficient dry down of 24-, 48-, 96- and 384-well microplates at temperatures up to 80°C.
The Ultravap® Levante can be operated from both a gas cylinder and an in-house supply of nitrogen or clean dry air. The blow-down evaporation
technique is well proven for efficiently removing chromatography solvents such as dichloromethane, acetonitrile, methanol and hexane. More information online:

54995pr@reply-direct.com Caring for the Environment one Flame Photometer at a Time
BWB Technologies, known for its industry leading blue flame photometers, is going green with environmental action. The company is proud to be the first flame photometer manufacturer to be actively giving back to the environment, not only through a comprehensive environmental protection policy, but in addition to committing to plant at least 50 trees for every flame photometer they sell internationally, with a further commitment of planting 1000 trees for every company employee by 2025.
Hozan Edwards, Managing Director, said: “The time has long passed for companies to start taking responsibility for their carbon footprint. Considered as industry leaders within the sector, we hope that others will now follow suit and take action to minimise their impact on our natural resources.”
The announcement came on World Earth Day as the company rolled out its latest generation of Flame Photometers boasting a wide range of operational upgrades from previous systems, and building upon the award winning core platform that continues
to push the boundaries of possibility from flame photometric analysis. More information online:

New SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Reference Material Kit Launched LGC has released ACCURUN®
55271pr@reply-direct.com
SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Reference Material Kit, a new quality measurement tool to
support SARS-CoV-2 antigen testing. It is formulated for use with test methods that detect the nucleocapsid (NP) protein of SARS-CoV-2 virus - the target for the majority of the SARS-CoV-2 antigen assays currently on the market.
The product comprises purified recombinant SARS-CoV-2 NP protein in simulated viral transport media. Offering both positive and negative materials, the kit is designed to support assay installation and monitoring of day-to-day assay performance, providing a complete quality solution for SARS-CoV-2 antigen testing.
Clinical laboratories are increasingly adopting antigen tests as a first line SARS-CoV-2 screening tool. While less accurate than amplification-based molecular tests, most antigen tests offer high specificity paired with a less complex, cost-effective design - making them more amendable to rapid, repeat testing of large populations in a point-of-care environment.
Bharathi Anekella, Executive Vice President and General Manager, LGC Clinical Diagnostics, stated, “We anticipate the demand for SARS-CoV-2 antigen testing to continue to be strong for the coming year, as it has become a preferred testing method for rapid large-scale screening, including back-to-work and back-to-school programs. Adding a quality solution like ACCURUN SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Reference Material Kit to the testing workflow offers a way to increase confidence in the results produced by these types of rapid diagnostics.”
