1.0 INTRODUCTION
TheThermo Scientific Savant ® DNA SpeedVac ® Model DNA120, is a dedicated
centrifugal vacuum concentration system for drying low volume ethanol or
isopropanol-water precipitates of DNA and RNA. The Thermo Scientific Savant
DNA120 OP allows for additional drying down of synthetic oligos in Ammonium
Hydroxide (NH
4
OH). This design incorporates a glass cover, ammonia post-trap
and Ammonia Neutralizing Solution for fully automated, unattended, odor-free
drying. The post-trap is connected on the back, left side of the unit. It is easily
maintained and replaced. The Thermo Scientific Savant DNA SpeedVac
combines centrifugal force with vacuum for bump-free sample drying. Vacuum is
supplied by an integral, oil-free vacuum pump with an automatic bleeder valve.
The Thermo Scientific Savant DNA120 SpeedVac has a chamber heater that
counteracts evaporative sample cooling and accelerates solvent evaporation
rates to shorten drying times. The operator can select LOW (ambient),
MEDIUM (43 °C), or HIGH (65°C) drying rates with the 3-position switch on the
front panel.
Several different microcentrifuge tube rotors are available for drying ethanol
precipitates of DNA/RNA, isopropanol-water mixtures, amplified reaction
products in buffer, aliquots of radiochemicals, or other low-volume samples (see
section 5). A unique swing-out rotor (RD2MP) for microplates is available as
well.
The Thermo Scientific Savant DNA SpeedVac is equipped with polypropylene
vacuum fittings to avoid leaks and resist corrosion. A chemical trap kit
(DTK120R) and disposable cartridge (DC120R) should be used for trapping
volatile radioactivity when the system is dedicated for drying down radiolabeled
materials.
NOTE: To assure safe operation and best results, read this manual in its
entirety before operating this instrument.
RECEIVING Inspect the shipping carton upon receipt. If the carton is
damaged in anyway, do not accept delivery. Contact Thermo
Scientific.
UNPACKING Carefully remove the instrument from its shipping carton.
Compare the packing list to the box contents. If there is a
discrepancy contact Thermo Scientific.
INSPECTION Inspect the unit for any damage that may have occurred
during shipment. Should there be any damage, report it
to the carrier and contact Thermo Scientific immediately.
Make sure the carrier inspects the damage and leaves an
inspection report. Register any claims for shipping damage
against the carrier or his agent. Save the shipping carton in the
event a return is necessary.
