Vacuum is supplied by an integral, oil-free vacuum pump with an automatic bleeder valve. The Thermo Scientific Savant DNA120 SpeedVac has a chamber heater that counteracts evaporative sample cooling and accelerates solvent evaporation rates to shorten drying times.
Do not attempt to open the lid unless the unit is plugged in. OPERATION The switches on the front panel control operation of the Thermo Scientific Savant DNA SpeedVac. The LED readout displays “run” parameters in minutes. You may choose between three drying rates (LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH).
OPERATION (cont’d) ROTOR INSTALLATION. Open the lid of the rotor chamber. Carefully lower the rotor onto the drive shaft. Secure the assembly by screwing the retaining knob into the drive shaft above the rotor. Tighten it firmly but not excessively. Load the rotor and close the lid. Always balance rotor loads. There need not be a tube in each hole, but the load must be evenly distributed.
MODE SELECTION The dual timer front panel permits operation of the Savant DNA120 in one of the two modes. Select switch A to either: • MANUAL-to initiate a concentrator run that you can start and stop manually. The run starts when switch A is set to “MANUAL” when switch A is set to “OFF”...
EXAMPLE OF A MANUAL RUN Switch A should be “OFF” . Set switch B “HEATER” to bring the HEATER time to the display. Adjust switch C until the display shows the desired setting for HEATER. You can select: • “OFF”-to disable the HEATER. •...
EXAMPLE OF AN AUTO RUN Switch A should be “OFF” . Before starting the Auto Run, specify, a run time as follows: Set switch B to “RUN” . Adjust switch C until the display shows the desired duration of the run in hours and minutes. Start the run by setting switch A to “AUTO”...

Add a post-trap or a chemical trap. For samples labeled with radioactivity, Thermo Scientific strongly recommends an adsorbent filter be attached to the DNA SpeedVac exhaust port. This prevents release into the laboratory environment. The DTK120R Chemical Trap Kit traps volatile radioactivity and organic solvent vapors.
