  • Page 5 Congratulations on your purchase of a Labconco CentriVap Concentrator System. Models are available for operation on 115V or 230V. The CentriVap Concentrator, when combined with the CentriVap Cold Trap, uses centrifugal force with heat and vacuum to rapidly evaporate and condense solvents from biological and analytical samples.

  • Page 6: Chapter 1: Introduction

    Chapter 1: Introduction As the companion to the Concentrator, the CentriVap Cold Trap protects the vacuum pump by trapping moisture, vapors and corrosive fumes as they evaporate from the samples. The CFC free refrigeration system reduce the temperature of the Cold Trap to –55°C. The stainless steel trap is used for aqueous and organic applications.

  • Page 7: Typographical Conventions

    Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 7: Troubleshooting contains a table of problems you may encounter while using your CentriVap, including the probable causes of the problems, and suggested corrective actions. Appendix A: CentriVap Components contains labeled diagrams of the components of the CentriVap. Appendix B: CentriVap Dimensions contains comprehensive diagrams showing the dimensions for the CentriVap.

  • Page 8: Your Next Step

    Chapter 1: Introduction Your Next Step If your CentriVap needs to be installed, proceed to Chapter 2: Prerequisites to ensure your installation site meets all of the requirements. Then, go to Chapter 3: Getting Started for instructions on how to install your CentriVap and make all of the necessary connections.
  • Page 9 Before you install your CentriVap, you need to prepare your site for installation. Carefully examine the location where you intend to install your CentriVap. You must be certain that the area is level and of solid construction. In addition, an exhaust means must be provided.

  • Page 10: Chapter 2: Prerequisites

    Chapter 2: Prerequisites Electrical Requirements The CentriVap Concentrator requires a dedicated grounded electrical outlet. This outlet requires a 15 Amp circuit breaker or fuse for models rated at 115V (60 Hz). An 8 Amp circuit breaker or fuse is required for models rated at 230V (50/60 Hz).

  • Page 11: Vacuum Pump Requirements

    Chapter 2: Prerequisites Vacuum Pump Requirements A vacuum pump must be provided by the user. A vacuum pump with a free air flow rate of 113 liters per minute and 0.2 x 10 mbar blank off pressure is adequate for aqueous samples. More volatile samples can be satisfactorily processed using a diaphragm pump with a free airflow of 42 liters per minute and 200 mbar vacuum.

  • Page 12: Vacuum Line Traps

    CentriVap are made from stainless steel or aluminum and can be degraded if exposed to acids. Before evaporating acids, be sure to contact Labconco. A moisture trap, solvent trap and radioisotope trap are also available. Refer to Appendix D: CentriVap Accessories for ordering information.
  • Page 13 Now that the site for your CentriVap is properly prepared, you are ready to unpack, inspect, install, and test your CentriVap. Read this chapter to learn how to: • unpack and move your CentriVap. • set up your CentriVap. • connect the electrical supply source to your CentriVap.

Exhaust Port If the CentriVap is not located in a fume hood, attach one end of a user supplied hose to the exhaust port on the vacuum pump.

  • Page 20: Ground Wire

    Chapter 3: Getting Started Ground Wire Attach one end of the included ground wire to the stainless steel elbow on the drain tubing on the left side of the Cold Trap. When draining the CentriVap Cold Trap always attach the other end of the grounding clip to the solvent catch pot to eliminate the risk of electrostatic spark ignition.
  • Page 21 Use care when using aggressive liquids which can damage the CentriVap and thoroughly clean the CentriVap after each use. Contact Labconco before evaporating acids. WARNING: The disposal of substances used in connection with this equipment may be governed by various Federal, State or local regulations.

    Chapter 3: Getting Started Your Next Step The installation and setup of your CentriVap is now complete. To learn how to load and operate your CentriVap, proceed to Chapter 4: Using Your CentriVap. To make a modification to the configuration of your CentriVap, proceed to Chapter 6: Modifying your CentriVap.
  • Page 23 After your CentriVap has been installed as detailed in Chapter 3: Getting Started, you are ready to begin using your CentriVap. Read this chapter to learn how • set operating parameters. • operate the controls. • properly select and position glassware inside your CentriVap.

  • Page 24: Chapter 4: Using Your Centrivap

    Chapter 4: Using Your CentriVap Planning Thoroughly understand procedures and the equipment operation prior to beginning work. The unique performance of the CentriVap is dependent upon the proper balance of heat, vacuum and centrifugal force. If the proper balance is not established, it is possible to damage or lose a portion of the sample.

  • Page 25: Time Setting Guidelines

    Chapter 4: Using Your CentriVap As a general guideline, to speed the evaporation process, the CentriVap temperature should be set as high as possible as long as the temperature will not damage the sample or cause the sample to bump. Time Setting Guidelines The CentriVap Concentrator has two timers.

  • Page 29: Operational Notes

    Chapter 4: Using Your CentriVap Do not operate the CentriVap if the lid is scratched of nicked, or shows signs of damage. Never lean on the CentriVap when it is operating. 1. Press the Cold Trap “ON” switch. The “READY” indicator will illuminate when it reaches operating temperature.

  • Page 30: Interrupting A Cycle After It Has Begun

    Chapter 4: Using Your CentriVap Depending on which solvent is used, the volume of the sample and the system operating parameters, the Cold Trap may warm up sufficiently to cause the “READY” indicator to turn off. As the sample reaches completion, the load on the Cold Trap will decrease and its temperature will decrease.
  • Page 31 Under normal operation, the CentriVap requires little maintenance. The following maintenance schedule is recommended: As needed: 1. Clean up all spills; remove liquids from the chamber. Clean or decontaminate all surfaces using agents suitable for the substance spilled. 2. Clean lid and gasket using soft cloth, sponge or chamois and a mild, non-abrasive soap or detergent.

  • Page 32: Chapter 5: Maintaining Your Centrivap

    Chapter 5: Maintaining Your CentriVap IF THE ICE HAS MELTED, THE GLASS TRAP INSERT MUST BE EMPTIED BEFORE THE COLD TRAP IS STARTED AGAIN. 7. If the Glass Trap is used, check to see that the ethanol in the stainless steel trap is free of ice or water.

  • Page 33: Chapter 6: Modifying Your Centrivap

    The configuration of your CentriVap can be changed to accommodate your needs. If the solvents used in the CentriVap degrade the acrylic lid it may be replaced with an optional glass lid to gain added chemical resistance. You may wish to add a secondary trap to trap vapors exhausted from the vacuum pump.
