Description

Processes up to 110 samples at once. Interchangeable aluminum sample blocks coated with PTFE. Hold tubes from 12mm O.D. to 600mL

Advanced vacuum function

• Microprocessor controls vacuum at preset level; Automatic vacuum release if power fails
• LCD shows vacuum level from 0 to 999mbar
• Rear-mounted vacuum connections: vacuum port, tubing clamps, lid heater receptacle, 30 in.L (76cm) 0.5 in. I.D. tubing for connection to accessory vacuum pump

Safety features

• Lexan™ shield on clear glass lid protects against glass implosion
• Dual lid clamps hold lid securely in place for vacuum-tight seal
• Phenol-free gasket provides complete sealing under vacuum
• PTFE-coated aluminum chamber
• Audible/visual alarm for end point detected by temperature sensors at heater and block

Optional Lid Heater

• 40w heater plugs into electrical receptacle on rear
• Eliminates fogging, increases visibility when evaporating water or other high-boiling-point solvents

Improved control panel

• Easy-to-read LCD display prompts operator to program desired parameters, and displays vortex speed by percentage, actual and set temperatures in °C, and total time remaining in minutes. Enter up to nine different protocols into memory for easy repetition of exact test parameters

Advanced heating system

• Contamination- and maintenance-free 1000-watt dry block heating system speeds evaporation rate by supplying a controlled amount of heat from ambient up to 100°C
• Heater and sample block move in tandem for more efficient heat transfer
• Alarm signals completion of run, allowing samples to be left unattended while evaporating to desired endpoint

Efficient operation

• Brushless DC motor ensures safe, maintenance-free operation and provides smooth, variable-speed power up to 1000rpm
• Produces no potentially dangerous sparks

Increased durability

• Systems may be used with broad range of strong chemicals
• Powder-coated, aluminum cabinet base with smooth, solvent-resistant acrylic/PVC thermoplastic upper housing
• Aluminum chamber with PTFE coating conducts heat efficiently and resists corrosion
• All mechanical components are isolated from chemical fumes and vapors for longer life
• Chemical-resistant glass lid provides visibility of samples and detaches for cleaning
• Two clamps hold lid securely in place
• Phenol-free gasket provides sealing without potential for phenol contamination
• RapidVap models with optional RS-232 link allow all front panel functions to be performed and monitored from a personal computer (not included)
