Introduction
Thermo Scientific Savant SpeedVac™ SPD130DLX vacuum
concentrator offers fast, reliable processing of samples. It
effectively removes a broad range of aggressive and volatile
solvents to concentrate or dry solutes, analytes and residues
while providing complete sample recovery.
The combination of vacuum, applied to the sample chamber
from an external source, and centrifugal action promotes
solvent evaporation without sample loss due to foaming or
bumping. The evaporation process is accelerated with the
addition of chamber heat to counteract the extreme
evaporative cooling of the samples. The concentration
process is completed with the addition of a vapor
condensation trap available separately for virtually 100%
solvent recovery. This results in a thorough evaporation
process in a safe environment for both the sample and the
user. The unit features an advanced front panel with dual
timer for automatic or manual control of run conditions, it also
features preset and user defined programs which enable user
to retrieve and store application protocols for future use.
The compact, industrial strength SPD130DLX features:
•
Ultimate chemical resistance to aggressive solvents with
the following provisions:
-
Components made of Teflon
®
and Teflon
®
coated
materials used exclusively in the vapor path.
-
Dual valve manifold positioned to reduce solvent
vapor exposure.
-
Dedicated bleed port added to assure unidirectional
vapor flow and to purge bearings with fresh air.
•
Faster evaporation rate with the following enhancements:
-
Glass cover with lamps apply radiant heat to
samples.
•
Microprocessor control of run and heat times offer fully
unattended, automatic operation.
•
Built-in digital vacuum gauge allows continuous
monitoring of process.
•
Vacuum based run terminates run when pre-set vacuum
level is reached.
•
3 preset programs pre-loaded with default application-
based run parameters.
•
3 user-defined programs for custom application-based
run parameters that enables user to retrieve and store
protocols for future use.
