Residual solvent vapors can create hazardous and unpleasant odors upon completion of evaporation runs, even when condensers capture the bulk of vapors. This paper explains the mechanism behind odor formation and presents Genevac’s “Reduce Odour” solution. By adding programmed vent-and-vacuum purge cycles at the end of a run, residual solvent concentration is reduced by several orders of magnitude, enabling safe operation outside fume hoods.
