SpeedVac Vacuum Concentrator Kits From traditional drying down of DNA preparations in water and methanol, to the more complex and aggressive applications presented by the combinatorial chemistry and drug discovery sectors of the pharmaceutical industry, we have the systems for your lab. Refrigerated Vapor Traps Refrigerated Vapor Traps are available with two temperature ranges from ambient temperature to -50°C and ambient temperature to -105°C Universal Vacuum Systems Savant Universal Vacuum Systems are the most energy efficient and environmentally safe vacuum system available, providing complete recovery of evaporated solvents SpeedVac Vacuum Concentrator Rotors Rotors are available in a wide variety of styles and sizes to accommodate all your sample requirements Lab Vacuum Pumps Two pump styles are available from Thermo Scientific: traditional rotary vane oil pumps and the newer oil-free, maintenance free vacuum pumps SpeedVac Vacuum Concentrator Accessories Improve the functionality of Thermo Scientific Savant SpeedVac Concentrators with Savant SpeedVac concentrator accessories Chemical Traps Chemical traps are highly recommended to absorb residual volatile vapors that may bypass the primary cold trap Why use centrifugation for evaporation? Centrifugation generates a centrifugal force to prevent bumping (bubbling), boiling, and physical loss of the sample. To completely dry the sample, the solute is deposited at the bottom of the container for complete quantitative recovery.

Samples are maintained in liquid state at sub-ambient temperature throughout the concentration process, preventing loss of activity or damage to heat sensitive substances. By applying a controlled vacuum the boiling point of the solvents can be lowered to the point that the liquid vaporizes with minimal heat which prevents oxidation of samples during the drying process. High performance vacuum pumps ensure the low pressures which are required for faster solvent removal. Heat is applied to the samples to accelerate the evaporation process. SpeedVac Vacuum Concentrators use built-in chamber heaters. Some models are equipped with radiant lamp on the lid to provide additional heat and prevent condensation of the solvents. Smart Note: Savant SpeedVac System When the quality of your results hinges on the quality of synthesized oligos As oligos are being aggressively leveraged in research and clinical applications such as detecting, characterizing, and developing therapeutics and vaccines, the quality of synthesized oligos is critical. The Savant SpeedVac system enhances speed and reliability so you can have complete confidence in the quality of your oligos as well as the applications they serve.

If you are confused as to which one is right for you, review the six questions below to learn more about which SpeedVac is right for your needs. Which SpeedVac is right for me? Question #1: What is the material or solute that you are concentrating or drying? Is it biological or non-biological? We generally break solutes into two categories–biological (DNA, RNA, enzymes, proteins, vaccines, etc.) and non-biological (products of organic synthesis, drug metabolites, pesticides). The sample concentration and drying technique of choice for non-biological materials is vacuum evaporation. These samples are generally in high concentrations of organic solvents and/or strong acids and bases. Vacuum concentration offers rapid concentration of non-biological materials. The main question with biologicals is whether to freeze dry (lyophilize) or vacuum concentrate. Freeze drying is generally recommended when the material is to be stored for long periods of time, must be easily and quickly reconstituted, and needs to retain biological activity (i.e., proteins/enzymes). Most molecular biology applications involving DNA/RNA, in aqueous or aqueous + low concentration organics, use vacuum concentration for sample prep. Consider systems such as the Thermo Scientific™ Savant™ SpeedVac™ DNA130 or SPD1030 . Freeze drying can be performed efficiently in a vacuum concentrator. However, freeze drying requires a deep vacuum (i.e., rotary vane oil pump) to keep the sample frozen during sublimation. Depending on the solute/ solvent and conditions, a properly configured SpeedVac system can be used for either freeze drying or vacuum concentration such as the SpeedVac SPD120P2 . Question #2: What is the solvent that your material is prepared in? If it is an organic solvent, is it an aggressive solvent (methylene chloride, toluene), or a non-aggressive solvent (ethanol, methanol, acetonitrile) or a high-boiling-point solvent (DMSO, DMF)? This is one of the most important decision making factors in the proper choice of a SpeedVac system. Our goal is to give you the most cost-effective solution to your sample prep needs.
