Labconco* CentriVap Systems

CentriVap* centrifugal concentrators use centrifugal force, heat and vacuum to reduce multiple small samples. Systems designed for use with aqueous, acid, solvent and DNA samples are offered. The CentriVap cold trap protects the vacuum pump by trapping moisture and other contaminants before they reach the pump. The CentriVap mobile system combines the concentrator and cold trap into one space-saving portable console. Systems include a benchtop concentrator, 12 - 13 mm rotor (Catalog no. 346-17092), cold trap, tubing, clamps and clear canister with appropriate insert. The aqueous models are equipped with a moisture trap insert; acid models with an acid trap insert and glass insert for additional protection for the cold trap. Solvent models are equipped with a solvent insert.
Epoxy-coated steel housing and aluminum chamber with injection molded thermoplastic control panel and acrylic lid with phenol-free gasket. Lid latch with safety sensor. 300W heater. Microprocessor-controlled programming for run time from 1 to 999 minutes, heat from OFF to HI (100°C) in one degree increments, heat time from 1 to 999 minutes, and optional Heat Boost on/off. Memory stores 1 to 9 programs. LCD for display of program number, actual and set point temperature, heater time remaining, run time remaining, and optional Heat Boost activation. Control panel with RUN/STOP button, PREHEAT
button, set point SELECT button, increase/decrease buttons, and 3 Quick-Start buttons. Centrifugal motion is provided by a brushless motor capable of achieving up to 1725 rpm. Quick-Stop system to stop vacuum pump, open valve to bleed air into the chamber and stop the rotor within seconds after time expires or RUN/STOP button is pressed. Automatic vacuum release valve. Built-in vacuum delay allows rotor to achieve speed before applying vacuum. Audible alarm to signal completion of set point run time. 1/2 in. OD aluminum hose fitting for connection to vacuum tubing. Diaphragm vacuum pump or rotary vane direct drive vacuum pump required. 115V, 60 Hz. ETL and ETL-C. The high capacity 1/4 hp compressor lowers cold trap temperatures to -55°C in less than 15 minutes and accelerates start up procedures. The system uses a CFC-free refrigerant that is environmentally friendly and does not harm the ozone layer.
