The Explorer SpeedVac concentrator is a high productivity, compact product with sample integrity control designed for the rigors of aggressive solvents found in drug discovery and oligonucleotide manufacturing and R&D.
Product Detail
The Explorer SpeedVac combines high-capacity throughput, and sophisticated monitoring capabilities in a compact, innovative design that withstands the heavy demands of aggressive solvent environments including DMSO.
High Productivity/High Throughput:
Reduced-length vapor path and 5 liter, -55ºC cold trap accelerate cryopumping for rapid solvent evaporation including difficult to remove solvents like DMSO.
Rotors accommodate a wide variety of sample formats including up to 30 shallow-well microplates, 192 1 dram vials, 280 13 x 100 mm tubes, eight round or flat-bottom flasks, and two Gilson racks.
New software links up to five programs that run sequentially, each with its own ramp rates and heat settings to optimize evaporation rates of mixed solvents.
High Sample Integrity
Intellitemp sample temperature measurement and control enables fast evaporation with assured sample integrity.
Five pre-programmed vacuum ramps and pressure control minimize sample bumping with volatile solvents or mixtures.
Robust, Low Maintenance, High Uptime Design
Dry diaphragm pump requires little maintenance – no messy oil to replenish and change.
Hot gas defrost and side drain of the vapor trap saves time with defrost and drain time of 20 minutes or less for a 4 to 5 liter load.
Chamber and vapor path designed to handle the most aggressive solvents found in drug discovery, combinatorial chemistry, and oligonucleotide preparations.
Easy-to-use Versatile Design
Optional Explorer Software Suite provides real time data logging and graphing from your PC for optimizing drying times, and GLP, QA and QC documentation
Front loading Clam-shell design for easy and safe access to samples with minimal exposure of user to solvent vapors.
