Centrifugal Vacuum Concentrators: miVac Brochure

miVac from Genevac is a range of centrifugal concentrators capable of removing water and organic solvents from a variety of sample formats including tubes, microplates and vials. miVac can also be used to freeze dry aqueous samples. There are three concentrators, three pumps and a novel refrigerated trap in the miVac range. miVac concentrators feature built-in special methods for working with alcohols, water and water mixtures to improve performance and optimise concentration times. The miVac Pressure Controller helps to further optimise concentration and provides the user with full control of the concentration process. There are two sizes of system available; the larger Quattro concentrator and the smaller Duo. miVac systems are suitable for use with a wide range of solvents, from volatile organic types through to water and many medium boiling point solvents.

There is a choice of medium or high vacuum pump and a dedicated DNA system with built-in pump. Rotors are chosen according to the type of sample format in use and can include both deep and shallow well microplates, glass vials and tubes. Rotors are easily interchangeable. When using the high vacuum pump, samples may be freeze dried utilising the freeze drying accessory kit, either in the concentrator rotor or prefrozen flasks.
