Savant SpeedVac Plus Concentrator with 40 x 1.5ml Rotor

The Savant SC110A SpeedVac Plus Concentrator is a centrifugal vacuum concentrator designed for the rapid evaporation of liquids to concentrate or dry solutes, analytes, and residues in both aqueous and organic solvents. It's a compact benchtop instrument that uses a combination of centrifugal force, vacuum, and heat to perform this function efficiently.

This concentrator is designed for optimal analyte recovery and to prevent sample loss. As the rotor spins, the centrifugal force keeps samples from foaming or bumping, a common problem during solvent evaporation. The unit is equipped with a chamber heater that offers three temperature settings—ambient, 43°C, and 65°C—which helps counteract evaporative cooling and speeds up the drying process. Unlike the standard SC110 model, the SC110A SpeedVac Plus model features an automatic bleeder valve that ensures the vacuum is applied at the appropriate time without user intervention, simplifying the operation.

The SC110A connects to an external vacuum pump (not included) via a 0.5-inch OD fitting. It's compatible with a variety of rotors, and included in the present listing is a 40-place rotor that accommodates 1.5ml / 2.0ml centrifuge microtubes. The vacuum chamber is made from chemical-resistant, impregnated aluminum with a fluorocarbon coating, and the cover is a transparent acrylic. This robust construction makes it suitable for typical applications including drying DNA precipitates, concentrating protein hydrolysates, or preparing samples for analysis by HPLC or GC/MS.
