Vacuum Concentrator CentriVap
CentriVap Benchtop Vacuum Concentrators are designed to rapidly concentrate multiple small samples using centrifugal force, vacuum and heat
Product Specifications
Description
As many as 148 samples may be processed at once
Microprocessor-controlled centrifugal motion up to 1725 RPM eliminates bumping and foaming common when applying vacuum during evaporation and maximizes recovery of trace solutes
Once run time has expired or the RUN/STOP button is pressed, within seconds the vacuum pump stops, the valve opens to bleed air into the chamber, and the rotor stops
Automatic vacuum release valve prevents loss of sample by releasing the vacuum before the rotor stops and during power failures
Lid latch with safety sensor locks the lid in place when the rotor is turning and prevents start up when the lid is open
Built-in vacuum delay prevents bumping by allowing the rotor to achieve speed before applying vacuum
Corrosion-resistant sample chamber accommodates accessory rotors for a wide variety of sample tubes
Large phenol-free lid seal ensures good vacuum without potential for phenol contamination
Microprocessor-controlled 300-watt heater speeds evaporation by supplying a controlled amount of heat from OFF up to a maximum of 100° C in one degree increments
Three Quick-Start™ Buttons store one user-set program each
Easy-to-read LCD display prompts the user to set program parameters and displays program number, actual and set point temperatures, heat time remaining, run time remaining, and if Heat Boost™ is activated
Heat and run times are set separately, each from 1 to 999 minutes, so that heat may be programmed to shut down sooner than the run to protect heat sensitive samples from excessive heat exposure after the solvent has evaporated
Audible alarm signals completion of set point run time
