Thermo Savant SpeedVac SPD111V-115 Concentrator

Technical Notes:

The unit powers on, the display is clear, and all keypad buttons respond. The chamber heater was checked with a thermometer and operates properly. The lid interlock functions correctly.

The unit includes an RH64-11 rotor. We connected a vacuum pump and performed a test run: the rotor spins up normally, and the vacuum control solenoid valve opens and closes as intended. The lid gasket was visually inspected and is in good condition, and the chamber seals properly.

The unit does not include the optional RC lamp.

Model Description:

The Thermo Savant SPD111V-115 SpeedVac Concentrator is a centrifugal vacuum evaporation system designed for rapid, gentle sample concentration in molecular biology, chemistry, and pharmaceutical labs. It combines centrifugation, vacuum, and heat to accelerate solvent removal without manual supervision, making it a staple for DNA/RNA, protein, and small-molecule sample prep.

Highlights

• Centrifugal vacuum concentration minimizes bumping and cross-contamination during evaporation
• Compatible with aqueous, DMSO, and common organic solvents for versatile sample processing
• Standard 115V operation suited for typical benchtop lab power configurations
• Ideal for genomics, proteomics, and analytical chemistry workflows requiring unattended operation
