Concentrator 5305 Basic: optimised evaporation in its most compact form
The Eppendorf Concentrator 5305 Basic is a state-of-the-art concentration device designed to efficiently evaporate liquid samples contained in various types of tubes or plates. Designed without an integrated vacuum pump, this "Basic" model is ideal for users who wish to connect an external vacuum system suited to their specific protocols. Thanks to its versatility, reliable technology and compact design, it fits perfectly into any laboratory environment, even those with limited space.
This concentrator offers precise temperature control with three selectable levels (30°C, 45°C, 60°C), allowing accelerated evaporation while preserving the integrity of heat-sensitive samples. It can also be used without heating, further enhancing its flexibility of use depending on the types of solvents or substances being handled. Three integrated programmes are available: a standard evacuation and two cycles optimised for aqueous and alcoholic solutions, ensuring maximum time savings and efficiency. This allows fine adjustment to the physical characteristics of the solvents and the sensitivity of the samples.
The concentrator can accommodate a wide variety of tubes and plates: 0.5 to 5 mL microtubes, 15 and 50 mL conical tubes, flat-bottomed tubes, and MTP and PCR plates via suitable rotors. It can process up to 144 tubes or two microplates simultaneously, making it particularly efficient for high-throughput processes. It is ideal for applications such as nucleic acid purification, protein concentration, or sample preparation for chromatographic or spectrometric analysis.
In addition to its main evaporation function, the 5305 Basic can also be used as a desiccator, making it a highly valued dual-purpose device. For applications using organic solvents, a solvent trap can be connected to the rear of the device, ensuring a safer and cleaner working environment. This modularity allows the user to adapt the device to changing experimental requirements while ensuring uniform and reproducible evaporation.
Compact and quiet (noise level < 50 dB), it offers optimal working comfort for users while reducing noise pollution in the laboratory. Its clear interface, intuitive controls and robust design reflect Eppendorf quality and make it easy for any technician or researcher to use immediately. Robust, durable and easy to maintain, the Concentrator 5305 Basic is a safe investment for laboratories looking for a reliable, high-performance and flexible concentrator capable of meeting a wide range of sample concentration needs.
