CentriVap® Centrifugal Vacuum Concentrators & Cold Traps
CentriVap® centrifugal vacuum concentrators utilize centrifugal force, vacuum, and heat to efficiently concentrate multiple samples. Available in seven different models, these concentrators can be used as compact benchtop equipment or combined with a CentriVap Cold Trap to create a complete laboratory system that protects against corrosive effects of vapors and fumes.
