Overview

A dehydration process used for the preservation and cleaning of samples containing water or other solvents, allowing for purification and long term storage. It is ideal for the concentration or drying of biological and non-biological materials in all kinds of solvents. The Speedvac is designed for low volume and multi-sample applications.

Speedvac concentrator is used for drying solution under vacuum at room temperature or elevated temperature using microcentrifuge tube (0.5/1.5/2 mL)
