Chemical Resistance of CentriVap
Components
Your CentriVap DNA Centrifugal Concentrator is designed to be chemical
resistant to most compounds that are commonly used in the concentration
processes that are performed in it. However, by necessity, the CentriVap is
comprised of a number of different materials, some of which may be attacked and
degraded by certain chemicals. The degree of degradation is obviously dependent
on the concentration and duration of exposure. Some major components of the
CentriVap that are susceptible to degradation are as follows:
