2.2 Features
Concentrator plus and Vacufuge plus are designed for the evaporation of liquid or wet samples in
micro test tubes, round-bottom tubes, Falcon tubes, flat-bottom tubes and different plates.
You can insert the following tubes and plates:
• 1.5 and 2.0 mL micro test tubes in a rotor with 70 places.
• 0.5 mL micro test tubes in a rotor with 72 places.
• 15 mL Falcon tubes in a rotor with 8 places.
• 50 mL Falcon tubes in a rotor with 6 places.
• MTP and PCR plates in a swing-bucket rotor.
A complete list can be found in the following chapter (see Rotors on p. 11)
The device is available as a complete system with integrated diaphragm vacuum pump or as a
basic device without vacuum pump. The basic device can be connected to an external vacuum
system.
Key, practical functions of Concentrator plus or Vacufuge plus have been optimized:
• 3 temperature levels can be set (30, 45, 60 °C). Alternatively, evacuation is carried out
without thermoregulation.
• The evaporation of liquids can be carried out optimized in 3 functions. In addition to pure
evacuation, aqueous and/or alcoholic solutions can be concentrated extra fast with 2 special
functions.
• You can also operate the device as a pure desiccator.
• You can connect a solvent trap to the device behind the pump.
Due to the space-saving design, the device can be situated directly on the workstation. With its
clearly laid-out control panel with only a few, clearly marked elements and a display that is easy
to read, the device is a pleasant and reliable companion in your daily work.
