Vacuum Centrifuge / Concentrator

A vacuum centrifuge / concentrator concentrates solutes from a liquid sample into a dry state or a wet pellet state while maintaining sample integrity. A vacuum centrifuge concentrator uses a vacuum, centrifugal force, and sometimes heat or gas blow down to evaporate liquid and concentrate DNA, RNA, nucleotides, and other proteins for further use or study. Vacuum centrifuge concentrators can differ in several key areas- heating or gas blow down capabilities, capacity, and range of speed, heat, and time settings, and noise level. These features, along with floor space, budget and prevention of cross contamination, are several factors that should be considered before buying an used vacuum centrifuge concentrator.
