Savant SPD111V SpeedVac™ Modular Concentrator – Precision and Flexibility for Molecular Biology and Chemistry Applications
The Thermo Scientific™ Savant SPD111V SpeedVac™ is a highly reliable, modular concentrator designed to meet the diverse needs of molecular biology and organic chemistry laboratories. Its compact design and advanced features make it ideal for routine evaporation tasks, particularly the concentration and drying of non-aggressive, organic solvents such as methanol, acetonitrile, water, and HPLC fractions.
The SPD111V is equipped with a robust PTFE-coated aluminum chamber, providing superior chemical resistance and easy cleaning, ensuring that it withstands harsh laboratory conditions. With a temperature range of 35°C to 80°C, adjustable in 5°C increments, it is versatile enough to accommodate various sample types and protocols. The system is particularly effective for the evaporation and freeze-drying of aqueous and organic solvents, making it suitable for both routine lab tasks and more specific research needs.
In laboratories where space is often at a premium, the SPD111V stands out due to its compact design (36 cm x 45 cm x 33 cm). Despite its small footprint, the system can handle up to 6 tubes of 18 x 150 mm or two 96-deepwell plates, providing ample capacity for most laboratory workflows. With its lightweight construction, weighing only 14 kg (31 lbs.), the SPD111V is easy to position in any lab setting without requiring special setup or heavy equipment handling.
Ease of use is a hallmark of the SPD111V, which features a digital display that allows for simple and reproducible selection of key parameters such as temperature and run time. Independent timers for both heat and run functions enable precise control over each step of the evaporation process, reducing the potential for human error and ensuring consistent results across experiments. Additionally, the integrated automatic bleeder valve enables unattended operation, further enhancing its utility in a busy lab environment.
One of the SPD111V's key strengths is its modularity. The concentrator can be paired with a wide range of compatible accessories, such as cold traps, vacuum pumps, and chemical traps, enabling users to create a fully customized concentration or freeze-drying system tailored to their specific needs. This modularity extends the capabilities of the SPD111V beyond simple evaporation, allowing it to support more complex and specialized applications.
Safety and reliability are at the core of the SPD111V's design. The unit’s plexiglass cover ensures clear visibility of the samples during operation while providing a secure seal to maintain vacuum pressure. The PTFE-coated chamber protects against aggressive chemicals and makes cleaning easy, ensuring that the equipment remains in top condition for long-term use.
Whether you are working in molecular biology, organic chemistry, or another discipline requiring efficient solvent evaporation and freeze-drying, the Savant SPD111V SpeedVac™ offers the reliability, precision, and flexibility you need to achieve high-quality results with minimal effort.
