What types of samples can be processed?

This equipment is designed for the efficient and gentle vacuum concentration of a wide range of biological and chemical samples, including DNA, RNA, nucleotides, proteins, and other liquid or wet samples.

Is an external vacuum pump required?

Many units in this category feature an integrated vacuum pump. However, some configurations may include an AC receptacle for connection to an external pump, with all pump functions controlled by the concentrator.

What maintenance is typically involved?

Units with PTFE diaphragm pumps are generally maintenance-free, eliminating the need for oil changes. Routine cleaning and inspection are usually sufficient.

How does it prevent sample bumping or foaming?

This class of equipment commonly incorporates features such as automatic vacuum release to prevent sample bumping or foaming during the concentration process.

Can different tube sizes be used?

Yes, these systems typically offer versatility through a wide variety of rotor options to accommodate tubes from 0.2 mL to 50 mL, as well as microplates and PCR plates.

What are the typical heating options?

Commonly, four heating levels are available: 30°C, 45°C, 60°C, and ambient. These options allow users to match the heating to the specific sample and solvent needs, optimising processing time.
