Page 5: Chapter 1: Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Labconco CentriVap Mobile System. Models are available for operation on 115V or 230V. The Mobile System combines a concentrator and a cold trap in one cabinet. The concentrator uses centrifugal force with heat and vacuum to rapidly evaporate and condense solvents from biological and analytical samples. -
Page 6: Safety Symbols
Chapter 1: Introduction Safety Symbols Your CentriVap Concentrator was designed with safety in mind, however conditions may exist that could be hazardous. Throughout this manual potentially hazardous conditions are identified using the following words and symbols. It is important that you understand the warnings listed throughout this manual before you operate the CentriVap Concentrator. -

Page 17: Solvent Safety Precautions
Contact Labconco for ordering information. If the stainless steel cold trap chamber is attacked by the compounds in use consider using the optional Glass Trap insert. Contact Labconco for ordering information. When using a rotary vane vacuum pump the oil in the pump should be checked often. - Page 18 Chapter 3: Getting Started CAUTION: Solvents used in the CentriVap may be flammable or hazardous. Use extreme caution and keep sources of ignition away from the solvents. When using flammable or hazardous solvents, both the CentriVap and the vacuum pump should be operated inside a fume hood. If a sample is spilled in the chamber it must immediately be cleaned up.
