Eppendorf Vacuum Concentrator Plus ~ overview

These are POCDS Time Critical Products - we are seriously committed to having these products in stock 24/7/365 for immediate shipping. If we are unable to immediately dispatch any of these items to you upon receiving your order we will airfreight the item from Germany at our expense to minimise the delay in getting the item to you.

The new Concentrator plus from Eppendorf is available in two configurations:

• Complete system with an integrated service-free diaphragm pump
• Basic concentrator for connecting to an existing vacuum.

The concentrator can easily be upgraded to a complete system at a later stage if desired. Power to external vacuum pumps can be automatically controlled by using the AC receptacle in the rear of the concentrator.

The Concentrator’s heating technology optimizes the evaporation process. No matter which configuration you choose, you’re assured of quick and efficient—yet gentle—vacuum concentration of your samples (e.g. DNA/RNA, proteins).

The complete system includes a vapour condenser that purifies the exhaust air by up to 85%. This serves as protection against unpleasant vapours. At the same time, an automatic condensate drain extends the service life of all components that come into contact with the vapours.

The new Concentrator plus features a new LCD display and user-friendly control panel with clearly labeled function keys.

Eppendorf Vacuum Concentrator Plus ~ features

Product features

• Narrow 32 cm width saves valuable bench space
• Chemical-resistant PTFE diaphragm pump
• Chemical-resistant stainless steel chamber
• Extremely quiet operation, even with pump turned on
• Choice of three application modes (aqueous, alcohol or high vapour pressure) to correspond with sample solvent
  reduction of processing time up to 20%
• Choice of four heating levels (room temperature, 30 °C, 45° C, 60 °C) allows safe and efficient concentration of various samples
• Centrifugation and Desiccator function

Concentrator junction system

The Concentrator plus complete system adds extra flexibility with a junction for external devices. It allows you to use the integrated vacuum pump separately – without having to disconnect it from the system; simply connect the port to any external device that requires vacuum (e.g. gel dryer).

Rotor program

A wide range of fixed-angle rotors and the microplate rotor A-2-VC enable the Concentrator plus to be used for various applications in the laboratory.

Eppendorf Vacuum Concentrator Plus ~ ordering

Please note:

We have endeavoured to provide Australian catalogue numbers; however it would be prudent to verify any catalogue numbers taken straight from our site with POCD Scientific before using them to place an order. We are seriously committed to having these product in stock 24/7/365 for immediate shipping. However we do need to acknowledge that spikes of demand can temporarily deplete our normally robust stock levels. If such a situation affects your order we will airfreight the item from Eppendorf at our expense to minimise the delay in getting the item to you.
