Sample Concentrator gas reservoir and stand only ( 96-wells) TECHNE model FSC496D :

Unique gas chamber: Evaporation is increased by passing an inert gas over the surface of the sample. The gas travels through the unique patented gas chamber to the samples via the needles. The needles are set into a silicone matrix and can be spaced to fit any combination of tubes.

Compact: The unit is light and compact enough for convenient use in a fume cupboard when toxic solvents are being evaporated.

Needles* * : The needles are made from high quality stainless steel and are specially designed for use with the Techne Sample Concentrator. The needle configuration can easily be adjusted to fit any combination of tubes, from 26mm test tubes to 0.5ml microcentrifuge tubes. Where corrosive solutions are being used, Teflon coated needles are available.

Fully adjustable: The Sample Concentrator’ s gas reservoir is mounted on a fully adjustable stand for accurate height control.

The Techne Sample Concentrator accelerates the concentration of large numbers of samples in a matter of minutes where traditional methods can take hours. It is ideal for the life science researcher and scientist; designed for applications such as sample preparation for analytical techniques including drug screening, hormone assays, chromatographic analysis and scintillation counting.
