Savant speedvac SC110 vacuum concentrator centrifuge
* Make: Savant (now part of Thermo-Fisher Scientific)
* Serial #: 110-6C14-1237-1H
* Rotor Buckets: PSFA-100 (PSFA100)
* Bottles: (4x) 100mL (as pictured)
* Description: Concentrator Centrifuge
The Savant SC110 SpeedVac and SC110A/SC210A Speed Vac Plus centrifuge vacuum concentrates rapidly evaporate liquids to concentrate or dry solutes, analytes, and residues in aqueous and organic solvents.
Vaccuum, applied to the sample chamber from an external source, promotes solvent evaporation. As the rotor in the concentrator spins, centrifugal force keeps samples from foaming or bumping, preventing sample loss. Superior analyte recovery results.
Typical applications include concentrating or drying oligonucleotides, ethanol precipitates of DNA hydrolysates of proteins, chromatography fractions, solid phase eluants, liquid/liquid extracts, and samples for analysis by HPLC, GC/MS, immunoassay, and bioassay. SpeedVac concentrators are also used in organic chamistry residue analysis, such as pesticide and drug testing.
* The SpeedVac SC110 model includes a built-in manual bleeder valve on top of the unit to the right rear. The instruction manual contains an explicit operating sequence (see section 3.4 SPEEDVAC SC110 OPERATION) that the user must follow to ensure vacuum is applied to the sample chamber only when the samples are spinning
* The SpeedVac PLus SC110A/SC210A models include an automatic valve that ensures application of vacuum at the appropriate time, without user intervention.
All SpeedVac concentrators include a chamber heater to effectively conteract evaporative cooling and accelerate drying rate. The operator can select low (chamber at ambient temperature), medium (chamber at 43C), or high ( chamber at 65C). For even shorter drying times, an optional Radiant Cover further hastens drying rate by adding energy to the sample chamber.
SpeedVac concentrators can be operated manually or attached to Savant's SC1021 SpeedVac System Controller unit for totally automatic operation.
The SC110/SC110A units hold up to 100 sample tubes; the larger SC210A holds up to 200 tubes (1.6 liters total volume). A Variety of available rotors accommodates microcentrifuge tubes, test tubes, microvials, and mini-sample rotors hold Savant's recovery flasks or pear-shaped flasks with receptacle ends. A prep rotor is available for concentrating large batch amounts of solution.
