what’s new
Vacuum concentrators
The Thermo Fisher Scientific
SpeedVac vacuum concentrators
offer a library of pre-programmed
protocols, while also allowing us-
ers to create custom programs,
for fast evaporation of a broad
range of solvents.
Like their predecessors, the
new vacuum concentrators are
designed to achieve a reduced
drying time and are compatible
with a large number of solvents,
with an aim to improve laboratory
efficiency and productivity across a
wide array of pharmaceutical, bio-
technology, academic research,
industrial, agricultural and food
testing applications.
The portfolio consists of eight
vacuum concentrators, ranging
from a compact, integrated device
designed for low-volume sample
preparation, to medium-capacity
models available in either inte-
grated or modular designs, to
large, modular systems address-
ing high-volume sample prepara-
tion needs.
products include: Model
DNA130; Model SpD120; Model
SpD130DLx; Model SpD140DDA;
Models SDp1030 and SDp2030;
Model SpD210; Model SpD-
300DDA.

Guard column cartridges
The restec raptor Exp uhpLC guard column cartridges provide protection from particulates and
matrix contamination, especially when using dilute-and-shoot or other minimal sample preparation
techniques.
The guard column cartridges for raptor 1.8 μm columns withstand the same uhpLC pressures
as their analytical column counterparts. ultraShield filters are available for filtering out particulates,
minimising extra column volume and maximising sample throughput when using SpE, SLE or other
extensive sample preparations — but new cartridges are a valuable alternative when using dilute-
and-shoot or other minimal sample preparation techniques.
