Product Description
TT-200-VSC Visible Sample Concentrator is intended to provide rapid evaporation of solvents from samples in test tubes or containers. It works under the principle of solvent evaporation to concentrate samples. By heating the samples/solution in a dry block heater coupled with a stream of inert gas (nitrogen) direct to the surface of the sample, vapour is rapidly driven off and the sample is quickly concentrated. The unique design of the block enables sample level to be observed during operation.
The sample concentrator is built with gas manifold plate mounted onto a height adjustable stand which allows flexible positioning above the samples. There are 12 independent gas control valves that are used to control the gas flow towards the surface of each sample via gas needles. It is a compact device commonly used to replace high cost rotary evaporators and safe to be used in fume
hood.
