Congratulations on your purchase of a Labconco
CentriVap Concentrator System. Models are available
for operation on 115V or 230V.
The CentriVap Concentrator, when combined with the
CentriVap Cold Trap, uses centrifugal force with heat
and vacuum to rapidly evaporate and condense solvents
from biological and analytical samples. Centrifugation
eliminates bumping and foaming as vacuum is applied
and also concentrates the solute in the bottom of the
vial. This allows recovery of solutes from sample
volumes as small as a few microliters. The
Concentrator is equipped with a 300 watt heater to
speed evaporation by warming the chamber during
processing. A timed outlet for the vacuum pump
connection delays the start of the pump until the rotor
reaches operating speed. A safety switch prevents the
concentrator from starting when the lid is in the open
position and a latch prevents the lid from being opened
while the rotor is turning. The compact, low profile
design allows the Concentrator to be placed on a bench
top or other laboratory work surface.
The microprocessor which controls the operation of the
heater and the motor provides excellent regulation and
reproducibility of protocols. The end of the run can be
signaled by a manually preset timer. Nine different
protocols can be stored in memory so exact test
parameters can be easily repeated.
