Discover Prep Hydrolysis
Overview
The Discover Prep™ uses microwave technology to hydrolyze proteins and peptides, resulting in improved control of hydrolysis conditions with better accuracy, reproducibility, speed and robustness. Featuring intuitive software with a 10” touchscreen interface, it is possible to program a method in seconds and achieve reproducible results in as little as 15 minutes.Features
- Fastest Technique Available
- Small Footprint
- Run Acid and Base Hydrolysis on One System
- Automate up to 24 Samples
Microwave Technology
Accurate and fast hydrolysis.
The efficient microwave cavity with true internal temperature reading, and in-situ stirring ensures a rapid and accurate hydrolysis. Rapid hydrolysis times combined with rapid cooling allows for safe handling of vessels in minutes.
Automation Options
Automate up to 24 samples.
Auto samplers for the Discover Prep are available in 6 and 24 position modules, providing fully automated hydrolysis capabilities ideal for high-throughput labs.
Flexible
Hydrolyze all amino acids with one instrument.
Perform either an acid hydrolysis or base hydrolysis with the same system. With programmed methods amino acid hydrolysis is made simple. Liners can be used to protect the vessels.
Compact
Its small size is a big advantage.
The Discover Prep is only 14” wide. That’s about the width of an analytical balance. Take up minimum bench top space and add efficiency.
The Process
Safe and simple hydrolysis.
1. Load Autosampler Prepared 35 mL vessels containing samples, reagents, and stir bars can be loaded onto the 6- or 24-position autosampler, allowing for automated reaction handling and throughput2. Select a Method Select the desired method, program the number of samples, and press “Play”.
3. Microwave Energy is Applied The reaction vessel is pressurized and microwave heating is applied directly to the vessel contents. This results in direct molecular activation and fast and efficient heating. Electromagnetic stirring allows for equal heat distribution and increased reaction homogeneity.
4. iWave Precise Temperature Control iWave technology allows for accurate temperature monitoring of the vessel contents regardless of sample type or solvent volume.
5. Compressed Air Cooling Upon method completion, compressed air cooling is applied, enabling rapid cooling for safe handling and preparation for analysis.
