SpeedVac Vacuum Concentrator
The SpeedVac Vacuum Concentrator, combined with a cold trap and pump, utilizes advanced centrifugal, vacuum, and heating technologies to remove solvents and concentrate samples while preserving sample integrity. Choose from nine different models to meet your specific requirements—whether for biological or non-biological samples, or low to high sample volumes.
Product Details
Vacuum accelerates solvent evaporation within the SpeedVac chamber. Throughout the concentration process, samples remain in a liquid state below ambient temperature, preventing loss of activity or damage to heat-sensitive substances. By applying a controlled vacuum, the boiling point of solvents is reduced to a level where liquid evaporates with minimal heat, avoiding sample oxidation during drying. A high-performance vacuum pump ensures the low pressure required for faster solvent removal.
Heating the sample further accelerates the evaporation process. The SpeedVac Vacuum Concentrator is equipped with a built-in chamber heater. Select models feature radiant lamps on the lid to provide additional heat and prevent solvent condensation.
