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. Centrifugation
eliminates bumping and foaming as vacuum is applied
and also concentrates the solute in the bottom of the
vial. This allows recovery of solutes from sample
volumes as small as a few microliters. The
Concentrator is equipped with a 300 watt heater to
speed evaporation by warming the chamber during
processing. A timed outlet for the vacuum pump
connection delays the start of the pump until the rotor
reaches operating speed. A safety switch prevents the
concentrator from starting when the lid is in the open
position and a latch prevents the lid from being opened
while the rotor is turning. The compact, low profile
design allows the Concentrator to be placed on a bench
top or other laboratory work surface.
The microprocessor which controls the operation of the
heater and the motor provides excellent regulation and
reproducibility of protocols. The end of the run can be
signaled by a manually preset timer. Nine different
protocols can be stored in memory so exact test
parameters can be easily repeated.

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. For corrosive applications, the optional
Glass Trap insert should be used. The 230V models
comply with CE regulations.

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). 115V models are
equipped with a 15 Amp NEMA 5-15P plug. 230V
models are not equipped with a plug. It will be
necessary to install a plug to match the available
receptacle.
The CentriVap Cold Trap requires a dedicated electrical
outlet. Models 74600-00 and 78110-00 require a 15
Amp circuit breaker or fuse rated at 115V (60 Hz).
Models 74600-01 and 78110-01 require an 8 Amp
circuit breaker or fuse rated at 230V (50/60 Hz). 115V
models are equipped with a 15 Amp NEMA 5-15P
plug. 230V models are not equipped with a plug. It
will be necessary to install a plug to match the available
receptacle.
It is recommended that an emergency switch for
disconnecting the mains in the case of a malfunction be
located remote from the CentriVap, preferably outside
the room in which the CentriVap is housed, or adjacent
to the exit from that room.
6
Location and Exhaust
Requirements
The CentriVap System should be located within a fume
hood if hazardous or flammable solvents are used. In
all cases, regardless of the solvent used, it is strongly
recommended that the vacuum pump is vented in a
fume hood. An accessory secondary trap is available to
minimize the exhausting of solvents into the
atmosphere. This does not, however, negate the need to
exhaust the vacuum pump into a fume hood.
Product Service Domestic 1-800-522-7658, International 816-333-8811
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 10-3 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. The inlet fitting on the vacuum pump must be
suitable for 0.50 I.D. hose.
Vacuum pumps used with 115V models should be
equipped with a 115V, 15 Amp NEMA 5-15P plug.
Vacuum pumps used with 230V models should be
equipped with a “reverse” IEC 320 plug. This will
allow the vacuum pump to be plugged into the
receptacle on the back of the CentriVap.

Solvent Safety
!!!!
Precautions
The CentriVap is not classified as
“explosion proof.” It has been
designed with safety as a primary
consideration
prudent manner using “good
laboratory practices.” It has been
designed for use with compounds as
described in the United States
National Electrical Code Class I,
Group D. The heater may be
programmed to run as hot as 100°C,
however, the heater element may
normally run at 110°C. A thermal
fuse limits the heater to a maximum
temperature of 141°C. It is important
that the solvents used are compatible
with these temperatures. Do not
evaporate solvents that have an
autoignition temperature below
180°C. Do not evaporate solvents that
are classified as Group A, B, or C by
the National Electrical Code.
Evaporate only non-flammable or
Group D solvents with autoignition
temperatures 180°C or above. Use of
other compounds could cause an
explosion.

Chapter 3: Getting Started
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.
Hazardous materials such as strong
acids or bases, radioactive substances
and volatile organics, must be handled
carefully and promptly cleaned up if

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. Therefore, if
you are unfamiliar with the CentriVap or are attempting
a new protocol, it may be helpful to make a trial run
that is void of the sample you are attempting to
concentrate.
Glassware Selection
Normally, sample tubes should be filled no more than
approximately half full. Select the size of the sample
tube so it is compatible with the rotor and the desired
sample size. Tubes should not be loose in the rotor.
Rotors are available with holes for various size tubes.
Refer to Appendix D: CentriVap Accessories for
available rotor sizes.
Loading Glassware Into the
CentriVap
Smooth operation of the CentriVap is dependent upon
proper balance of the machine. Therefore, if less than a
full load of samples is run, it is important to load
samples into the CentriVap in a fairly symmetrical
manner distributing the weight of the samples evenly in
the sample rotor.
20
Heat Setting Guidelines
The evaporation rate achieved by the CentriVap is
dependent upon a variety of factors. These include the
nature of the solvent, the temperature and the pressure
in the vacuum system.
Product Service Domestic 1-800-522-7658, International 816-333-8811
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. The
“RUN TIME” turns the entire concentrator off after the
user set period of time. This stops the rotation, turns
off the heater and vacuum pump and bleeds vacuum
from the system. The heater may be turned off prior to
the concentrator turning off so heat sensitive samples
may be protected from exposure to excessive heat after
the solvent has evaporated. To turn the heater off prior
to stopping the entire system, enter a set time into the
memory at the “HEATER TIME”. When the
programmed time expires, the heater will turn off but
the rotation and vacuum will continue until the run time
expires.
The tables in Appendix C: CentriVap Specifications
indicate approximate times required to evaporate
various common solvents. Actual times must be
determined by the user. The CentriVap can be set to
alarm after a preset period of operation. When the time
expires, the CentriVap will give an audible alarm and
turn itself off.
Heat Boost Operation
Some CentriVap models are equipped with a secondary
“Heat Boost” heater which is positioned on the side
wall of the chamber near the top. It provides additional
heat to the samples to speed evaporation. The “Heat
Boost” heater is controlled by the microprocessor to
maintain the set point temperature at the bottom of the
chamber to prevent excessive overheating of the
samples.

Operational Notes
As solvent is evaporated in the Concentrator and then
condensed in the Cold Trap, it is normal for the Cold
Trap temperature to rise as its load increases.
Product Service Domestic 1-800-522-7658, International 816-333-8811
25
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. The “READY” indicator
will once again illuminate.
The LCD display conveys various pieces of
information. When the CentriVap is turned on, the
CentriVap returns to the same mode (“RUN” or
“STOP”) that it was in when the power was turned off.
If the CentriVap was in the “RUN” mode when the
power was turned off, when the power is turned on, the
CentriVap attempts to return to the programmed set
points and continue the run.
Interrupting a Cycle After it
Has Begun
At any time during a run, the cycle may be stopped by
pressing the “STOP” button. This shuts off all
operating functions. After the rotor stops, the lid may
be opened. If it is necessary to re-start the CentriVap,
close the lid and press “RUN.” The CentriVap resumes
operation at the same set point parameters and the timer
continues to count down from the time at which the
CentriVap was stopped.

• Indoor use only.
• Maximum altitude: 6562 feet (2000 meters).
• Ambient temperature range: 41° to 104°F (5° to
40°C).
• Maximum relative humidity: 80% for temperatures
up to 88°F (31°C), decreasing linearly to 50%
relative humidity at 104°F (40°C).
• Main supply voltage fluctuations not to exceed
±10% of the nominal voltage.
• Transient overvoltages according to Installation
Categories II (Overvoltage Categories per IEC
1010). Temporary voltage spikes on the AC input
line that may be as high as 1500V for 115V models
and 2500V for 230V models are allowed.
• Used in an environment of Pollution degrees 2 (i.e.,
where normally only non-conductive atmospheres
are present). Occasionally, however, a temporary
conductivity caused by condensation must be
expected, in accordance with IEC 664.
