The SP Genevac Rocket Synergy 2 is a high speed evaporator for large-volume samples. It dries or concentrates up to six flasks, each holding a maximum of 450 ml of solvent, or 18 ASE vials, with no user intervention or attention. The removable flask rotor can be swapped for a 5 litre 316 stainless steel vessel for batch processing. The manufacturer rates it five times faster than other “intelligent” evaporators, and a single Rocket is capable of replacing several rotary evaporators — reclaiming valuable bench space.
How it works — heat without heating the sample
Using a single, common vacuum pump, the Rocket creates two vacuum environments. A low vacuum causes the solvents in the sample to boil at a low temperature, often below 0 °C. A second vacuum environment boils deionised water to make low-temperature, low-pressure steam. Because the boiling solvent cools the flask, that steam condenses on the cold outer surface of the flask or vessel, releasing energy into the sample to speed evaporation without heating the samples themselves. Condensed steam is thrown off by the rotational force and re-boiled to make more steam.
For the automatic stop, Rocket software compares the coolant temperature entering the condenser with the temperature of that leaving it. The difference (Delta T) is proportional to the flow rate of solvent vapour entering the condenser; as samples approach concentration or dryness, the change is used to determine the auto-stop point.
Key features
- No monitoring or intervention required — load your samples, select the method, press start and walk away
- Eliminates foaming, bumping and cross-contamination
- Auto-draining frost-free solvent condenser collects all solvents as liquids, even volatile organics; plastic-coated glass for safety and visibility
- Strobe viewing window lets each of the six flask positions be watched separately in real time, without stopping to open the lid
- Direct drive motor reaching 500 x gravity or more, to control boiling and help eliminate bumping and foaming
- USB upload of new methods and software, and download of recorded data
Flexible sample holder options
- 450 ml evaporation flasks for drying or concentrating up to 450 ml of solvent.
- 250 ml SampleGenie dries the sample directly into vials from 12 mm to 28 mm diameter and up to 70 mm tall, eliminating manual transfers.
- 400 ml SampleGenie concentrates the sample directly into 2 ml GC autosampler vials. The vial is protected from the steam, so only the solvent in the flask evaporates.
- Puck lets up to 18 ASE vials be dried in one operation, in place of flasks.
- Flip-Flop — a double-ended tube with SampleGenie adaptor and 2 ml GC vial, used with the Puck to concentrate ASE samples directly into a GC vial.
- 250 ml evaporation bottles for drying and storing samples in the same vessel.

SP Genevac Rocket Synergy 2 in Thailand
The SP Genevac Rocket Synergy 2 is a centrifugal vacuum evaporator built for unattended, large-volume solvent removal, and Thai Unique supplies and supports it in Thailand for laboratories running batch drying and concentration work.

Where the centrifugal vacuum evaporator is used in Thailand
Based on the specifications above, the Rocket Synergy 2 suits laboratories that:
- Need to dry or concentrate up to six flasks in one run, each holding as much as 450 ml of solvent, or 18 ASE vials, and want to load the run and walk away.
- Work with larger batches, swapping the removable flask rotor for the 5 litre 316 stainless steel vessel when a single bulk volume replaces individual flasks.
- Want samples taken straight into vials — the 250 ml SampleGenie handles vials 12 mm to 28 mm in diameter and up to 70 mm tall, while the 400 ml version concentrates into 2 ml GC autosampler vials — so no manual transfer step is needed.
- Need thermally sensitive samples protected, since the energy for evaporation arrives as low-pressure steam condensing on the cold outer surface of the flask while the solvent itself boils at low temperature, often below 0 °C.
Service and support in Thailand
An analytical instrument does not end at delivery. Thai Unique supports yours from within the country.
- Installation and calibration — our engineers install the system, run performance verification and calibrate it for your actual workload
- Scheduled preventive maintenance — year-round cover under a Service Contract, with costs you can budget for
- Repairs with genuine spare parts — experienced technicians using original components from the manufacturer
- Operator training — classroom and hands-on training on your own instrument
- Sample testing and method verification — we run your real samples and verify the method before you commit
Frequently asked questions
How does the Rocket Synergy 2 decide when a run is finished?
The software watches the coolant temperature going into the condenser against the temperature coming out; that difference tracks how much solvent vapour is still arriving, and the change as samples approach dryness or the target concentration sets the auto-stop point. Talk to the Thai Unique team if you want this mapped to your own sample types and methods.
Why buy SP Genevac Rocket Synergy 2 from Thai Unique rather than direct from the manufacturer?
Because the people who look after it are here. Installation, calibration, scheduled maintenance, repairs with genuine parts and operator training are all handled by our team in Thailand, without routing every request overseas.
Can we test our own samples before deciding?
Yes. Our sample testing and method verification service runs your real samples so you can see the results this centrifugal vacuum evaporator gives on your workload before you buy.
How much does it cost, and how do we request a quotation?
Pricing depends on the configuration, accessories and the scope of work in your laboratory. Tell our sales team what you need to analyse and how many samples you run per day, and we will propose a configuration together with lead time and service terms.
