From Peak to Powder: Streamlining Chromatography, Solvent Evaporation, & Lyophilization

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) workflows depend on efficient sample preparation, yet solvent removal, concentration, and drying steps often create bottlenecks. This presentation explores how Heidolph’s Automated Rotary Evaporators, SP’s parallel sample evaporators, and lyophilization technologies support HPLC workflows. Together, these solutions streamline sample preparation, improve consistency, and reduce turnaround time from sample processing to HPLC analysis.

Nathaniel Kunzer is the Process team west’s application specialist, covering Heidolph industrial evaporation, Genevac centrifugal evaporation, and Radleys glass jacketed reactors and synthesis stations. He has spent eleven years working evaporation and synthesis tools in both discovery and process scale. He is based out of Rolling Meadows, IL at the Heidolph North America’s headquarters.

With 27 years of experience in the freeze-drying industry, Jenny Sprung has built extensive expertise in lyophilization technologies, product management, and customer-focused solutions across research, pilot, and production applications. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside and is passionate about advancing freeze-drying innovation through technical knowledge, market insight, and collaboration.

Julio Cruz is the US East and Canadian Sales Manager of the Process Team covering the (same products as Nate). He has spent the last 8 years hands on with Technical Equipment and aiding workflow optimization in the Pharma/Biotech space with discovery and process tools. Based remote out of Philadelphia.
