Vacuum Concentrator

1. Name of the Instrument: Vacuum Concentrator

2. Working Principle : It operates on the principle of vacuum-assisted centrifugal evaporation. Under reduced pressure, the boiling point of solvents decreases, allowing rapid evaporation at low temperatures. Simultaneous centrifugal force prevents sample loss due to bumping or splashing, ensuring gentle, efficient concentration and drying of DNA, RNA, proteins, peptides, and other biological samples without compromising sample integrity.

3. Applications :
• Concentration of DNA, RNA, and protein samples • Solvent evaporation after sample preparation • Preparation of samples for sequencing, chromatography, and mass spectrometry
Types of studies:
• Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Microbiology
