Labconco offers a wide range of concentrators and evaporators to meet your sample prep needs. CentriVap Concentrators use a combination of centrifugal force, vacuum and heat to speed evaporation of small samples. RapidVap Evaporation Systems use combinations of dry block heat, vortex motion, vacuum or nitrogen blowdown to reduce samples to dryness or an endpoint volume
RapidVap N2 and N2/48 Evaporation Systems are multiple-sample evaporators that use a combination of gentle forces — vortex motion and dry heat with nitrogen blow down — to quickly reduce samples to dryness or an end point volume. RapidVap Vertex Dry Evaporators use dry heat and nitrogen blow down to speed evaporation of up to 50 small samples at once. Unlike water bath heaters, dry block heaters require less maintenance, no distilled water or additives, and adds no potential source of contamination
The RapidVap Vacuum Evaporation Systems are ideal for preparation of samples in a variety of applications including drug discovery, agrichemistry, mycology testing and environmental analysis. The systems use vacuum along with heat and vortex motion to help speed evaporation and provide an alternative to traditional centrifugal evaporation methods. These systems may be used with a broad range of aggressive chemicals. Heat is supplied by a dry block heating system that, unlike water baths, adds no potential source of contamination and requires no maintenance. The RapidVap Vacuum Evaporation Systems accommodate twelve different, interchangeable accessory sample blocks holding sample volumes from just a few milliliters to as large as 450 milliliters. As many as 110 each 12 or 13 mm tubes may be loaded at once. Additional blocks accommodate various tube types including conical centrifuge tubes and scintillation vials. Contact Labconco about custom blocks to fit special glassware configurations such as VOA vials.
CentriVap Centrifugal Vacuum Concentrators use a combination of centrifugal force, vacuum and heat to speed laboratory evaporation of multiple small samples. They offer maximum throughput required by biology, microbiology, biochemistry, pharmaceutical research and analytical chemistry laboratories. These laboratory evaporators can process as many as 148 samples at once. Sample sizes range from a few microliters up to 25 milliliters. The accessory Microtiter Plate Rotor holds four standard or two deep well plates. CentriVap Centrifugal Vacuum Concentrators are available as a compact benchtop component or as a laboratory “system” combined with the CentriVap Cold Trap. The CentriVap Cold Trap helps protect the accessory vacuum pump from the corrosive effects of vapors and fumes as they evaporate from the samples. The CentriVap Ultra Low Cold Trap provides protection from low freezing point solvents. The CentriVap Mobile System combines a concentrator and cold trap into a single mobile console.
