Centrifugal Vacuum Concentrators For Laboratory Sample Preparation
Labconco centrifugal vacuum concentrators are designed for laboratories that need to remove solvents, concentrate small-volume samples and prepare material for downstream analysis. The visible range includes CentriVap Pro vacuum concentrators, DNA centrifugal concentrators, acid-resistant models, stainless steel rotors, PTFE coated rotors and CentriZap strobe light accessories.
- Sample Concentration: Supports controlled evaporation and concentration of liquid samples using vacuum, centrifugal force and heat.
- DNA And Molecular Workflows: DNA centrifugal concentrator options are suited to molecular biology, genomics and nucleic acid sample preparation.
- Chemical Compatibility: Acid-resistant CentriVap models help laboratories working with aggressive solvent or reagent workflows.
- Rotor Selection: Stainless steel and PTFE coated rotor options help match vessel format, chemical exposure and throughput requirements.
- Accessory Support: CentriZap strobe lights and related accessories support monitoring and workflow control during concentration runs.
How To Choose Centrifugal Vacuum Concentrators
When comparing centrifugal vacuum concentrators, confirm the sample type, solvent chemistry, required temperature range, rotor format, vacuum pump compatibility and whether DNA-specific or acid-resistant construction is required. Laboratories processing heat-sensitive samples should also review temperature control, heat boost capability and whether a cold trap is needed to protect the vacuum pump and working environment.
- Sample Type: Match the system to DNA, RNA, proteins, analytical extracts, solvent fractions or general sample concentration tasks.
- Solvent Load: Review acid-resistant construction, cold trap requirements and pump protection where volatile or aggressive solvents are used.
- Throughput: Select rotor formats based on tube size, sample count and whether multiple samples need to be processed in parallel.
- Workflow Integration: Consider how the concentrator will connect with vacuum pumps, cold traps, carts and downstream analytical instruments.
Related Equipment For Concentration And Drying Workflows
Vacuum concentration is often part of a wider sample preparation workflow. Laboratories may also require Freeze dryer or lyopholizer accessories, Laboratory vacuum pumps and Laboratory and scientific equipment to support reliable evaporation, drying and analytical preparation. These systems are relevant across Life Science and Diagnostics, food research, clinical laboratories and pharmaceutical sample preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are centrifugal vacuum concentrators used for?
Centrifugal vacuum concentrators are used to evaporate solvents and concentrate small-volume samples for applications such as DNA preparation, protein work, analytical chemistry, pharmaceutical research and food testing.
What is the difference between a vacuum concentrator and a freeze dryer?
A centrifugal vacuum concentrator is typically used for faster concentration of small samples using vacuum, heat and centrifugal force. A freeze dryer is used for lyophilisation where frozen samples are dried under vacuum to preserve sensitive materials.
When should I choose an acid-resistant centrifugal concentrator?
Choose an acid-resistant model when the workflow involves aggressive solvents or reagents that may require more chemically resistant materials in the vapour path and chamber area.
