HIGH-THROUGHPUT EVAPORATORS: THERMO SAVANT

Thermo Savant, formerly Savant Instruments and now a division of Thermo Electron Corporation, offers its line of Speedvacs® for centrifugal evaporation.

The models Savant offers are:

Savant has different rotors for high-throughput evaporation:

  • The MPTR8-210 rotor for up to 4 deepwell plates
  • The PRO10 and PRO20 to accommodate up to 4 and 8 deepwell plates (respectively).

For combinatorial chemistry applications and high-throughput solvent evaporation Savant offers 3 SpeedVac® DDA™ systems:

  • The AES2050DDA SpeedVac® DDA™ system.
  • The UCS250DDA SpeedVac® DDA™ system.
  • The Universal SS620DDA SpeedVac® DDA™ system.

These systems can resist evaporation of corrosive solvent mixtures such as methylene chloride (DCM) and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) as well as evaporation of high boiling solvents such as dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). These systems provide the flexibility to accommodate 4 block holders or "swings" for vials and tubes, up to 8 deep-well plates,  or up to 20 microtiter plates. Some features that these systems offer are: built-in lamps for heating to accelarate evaporation rates, heated cover to prevent solvent condensation, and teflon® coated materials to add resistance to corrosive solvents.
