Savant Vapornet Vacuum Controller 120 V

Thermo Scientific Savant VaporNet Vacuum Controller, 120 V (VN100DDA-120)

The Thermo Scientific Savant VaporNet Vacuum Controller (VN100DDA-120) is a specialized laboratory vacuum regulation module designed to optimize solvent evaporation, sample concentration, and vacuum system efficiency. Engineered specifically for integration with Thermo Scientific Savant SpeedVac centrifugal concentrators, refrigerated vapor traps (RVT), and diaphragm or rotary vane vacuum pumps, this controller actively monitors and manages internal system pressure. By dynamically controlling vacuum levels, the VaporNet controller increases solvent vapor dwell time within cold traps, maximizing solvent condensation and preventing volatile chemical carryover into downstream vacuum pumps. Operating on a standard 120 V electrical supply, this unit helps preserve pump oil integrity, extends pump service life, and ensures reproducible drying times for sensitive biological and chemical samples.

Technical Performance & Operating Principles

• Automated Vapor Retention Control: Regulates system vacuum to optimize the residence time of organic and aqueous solvent vapors inside the refrigerated vapor trap, achieving high recovery efficiency.
• Vacuum System Diagnostics & Monitoring: Serves as an inline diagnostic tool to verify vacuum tightness, detect system leaks, and track the progression of the centrifugal concentration process.
• Vacuum Pump Protection: Significantly reduces solvent vapor bypass, protecting oil-sealed rotary vane pumps from contamination, oil degradation, and premature mechanical failure.
• Solvent Versatility: Designed to handle both low and high-boiling point solvents, as well as aggressive chemical vapors commonly used in DNA/RNA purification, protein concentration, and HPLC fraction drying.
