For aqueous specimens or specimens which have a low boiling point and contain solvents, specimen volume <20 ml per reaction vessel.
The RVC 2-18 CD plus is a good choice fast bench top analysis. It is especially suitable for increasing the concentration of DNA/RNA and proteins and for similar preparatory work. A range of rotors is available which extends the specimen capacity, for example 72 × 1.5 ml reaction vessels. The design of the drive subsystem, which has no moving parts outside of the centrifuge chamber, is an outstanding feature of the product.
A user-friendly LCD display provides information about the current operating parameters in a format that is easy to understand.
Product highlights:
- gently increases the concentration of DNA/RNA, proteins, etc.
- high specimen capability, e.g. 72 × 1.5 ml reaction vessels
- vaporization over large areas for very short drying times
- continuous temperature pre-selection (+30°C to +60°C)
- timer pre-select - 5 minutes to 12 hours or unlimited
- LC-display for simple operation via intuitive menu structure
The vacuum concentrator is supplied ready to use with a chemical-resistant membrane pump which delivers a final vacuum of about 10 mbar and has a suction capacity of 2 m3/h. All of the necessary connection fittings are also included.
The pump ensures that the process continually runs as liquid vaporization and not as freeze drying, which would be the case with pumps that deliver a lower final vacuum and which would significantly increase processing time.
Complete system ready to use, consisting of:
- RVC 2-18 basic unit
- vacuum chemical membrane pump 2 m3/h
- vacuum pump
- electromagnetic shut-off valve
Please order rotors separately.
