Thermo Fisher SPD1010-115 Integrated SpeedVac Concentrator

Thermo Scientific Savant SPD1010 SpeedVac Integrated Vacuum Concentrator System, 115V (SPD1010-115)

The Thermo Scientific Savant SPD1010-115 Integrated SpeedVac Concentrator is a fully integrated, compact benchtop solvent evaporation system designed for rapid, efficient removal of volatile and non-volatile solvents from biological and chemical samples. By combining a vacuum concentrator, an oil-free PTFE diaphragm vacuum pump, and a digital controller into a single unified chassis, the SPD1010 streamlines sample processing while conserving critical laboratory bench space. Engineered specifically for medium-capacity applications involving aqueous solutions and mild organic solvents (such as ethanol, methanol, and acetonitrile), this system utilizes centrifugal force, vacuum, and precise chamber heating to prevent sample bumping, eliminate solvent foaming, and maximize sample recovery across DNA, RNA, peptide, and drug discovery workflows.

Technical Performance & Key Attributes

• Fully Integrated Plug-and-Play Design: Consolidates the centrifugal chamber, maintenance-free PTFE diaphragm pump, and digital control module into one self-contained unit, eliminating external hose hookups and oil pump maintenance.
• Anti-Bumping Centrifugal Force: High-speed rotation holds samples firmly in place at the bottom of tubes or microplates, preventing cross-contamination, boiling over, or sample loss during vacuum drawdown.
• Chemical-Resistant PTFE Diaphragm Pump: Oil-free internal pump features non-corrosive fluoropolymer fluid paths, making it ideal for mild organic solvents and aqueous buffers without oil changes or exhaust misting.
• Programmable Microprocessor Control: Intuitive digital display allows precise setting and independent control of run time, chamber temperature (ambient up to 80°C), and vacuum level for reproducible, unattended drying runs.
• Dual Timer Control: Enables independent timing for both heating and run duration, protecting sensitive heat-labile biomolecules from thermal damage once evaporation is complete.
