The Thermo Scientific SC210A SpeedVac centrifugal vacuum concentrators can rapidly evaporate liquids to concentrate or dry solutes, analytes, and residues in aqueous and organic solvents. 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. The SC210A is used with the Thermo Scientific Universal Vacuum System (UVS400A), which is the most energy efficient and environmentally safe oil-free vacuum system available. The UVS400A provides evaporation rates equivalent to or better than component systems relying on maintenance-intensive rotary vane oil vacuum pumps, as well as complete recovery of evaporated solvents.
