Includes:
- Labconco CentriVap 148 position Vacuum Concentrator
- Labconco CentriVap Cold Trap
- Thermo Scientific UVS450 Universal Vacuum System
The UVS450 is a multipurpose vacuum source and solvent recovery system, combined in a single, integrated unit. The system includes a refrigerated vapor trap, and oil-free vacuum pump. Together, these elements form a low maintenance vacuum system that offers improved reliability over those based on oil-filled vacuum pumps, which require frequent maintenance and can easily be damaged by contaminating liquids.
Thermo Scientific Universal Vacuum System is ideal for applications that evaporate solvents from samples or substances. It is used with Thermo Scientific SpeedVac vacuum concentrator, Gel Dryer, or other vacuum-dependent equipment such as vacuum ovens or rotary evaporators. The vapor trapping efficiency and thermal capacity of the UVS450 provides evaporation rates equivalent to or better than component systems relying on maintenance-intensive rotary vane oil vacuum pumps. At the same time, the UVS450 is the most energy efficient and environmentally safe vacuum system available, providing complete recovery of evaporated solvents.
Three major elements are incorporated within the UVS450. The refrigerated vapor trap features a Glass Condensation Flask that collects condensing solvent vapors generated by the attached equipment. Recovered condensate can then be safely handled for proper disposal or recycling. The oil-free vacuum pump eliminates frequent maintenance required by oil-filled pumps, and is corrosion-resistant for long life.
