Used Vacuum Concentrators

At New Life Scientific, we buy and sell used centrifugal vacuum concentrators for various applications across the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.

Choosing the Right Vacuum Concentrator

Choosing the right vacuum concentrator unit is essential for processing samples efficiently and minimizing waste.

Sample Type and Volume

The specific materials you work with impact the equipment you'll need to process them. Consider the following factors when deciding on a model:

• Sample material: Biological and non-biological solutes require you to use different concentrations and drying techniques, which will directly influence which model will work for you.
• Solvent: Aggressive or high-boiling-point solvents require more specialized models, while aqueous and non-aggressive organics do not.
• Vessels used: The specific vessel you use, your working volume and the number of needed vessels will help you determine whether you require a small- or high-capacity concentrator.

Refrigeration Needs

Heat-sensitive samples such as proteins and other biological materials need a refrigerated unit to protect their integrity. Sometimes, freeze-drying and similar preservation methods for long-term storage are also necessary.

We thoroughly test our selection of used vacuum concentrators to ensure reliable performance in their specified operating environments.

Automation and Programming

You'll want to determine whether you need a unit with automation and programmable capabilities. Modern features such as touch-screen controls, programmable/storable methods and endpoint detection reduce the need to babysit a run, which frees lab employees up to handle other important tasks.

Another key consideration is whether you need a fully integrated system or a modular device you can swap out as required. This factor will depend on your existing workflow layout and equipment.

Footprint

The size of the equipment you need depends on the amount of space you have available and the number of samples you need to process on a daily basis. This is especially true if you work in a shared lab.

Our inventory includes various sizes of vacuum concentrators, including:

• Small benchtop units
• Standard benchtops
• Large-capacity systems
