Concentrador Biotage TurboVap LV

Biotage TurboVap LV Concentration Workstation, serial number TV1309N17628, part number 103198/11. The TurboVap LV is a benchtop nitrogen blow-down evaporator used to concentrate or dry organic solvent samples, typically extracts and SPE eluates, in laboratory test tubes. Samples sit in a heated water bath while a patented gas vortex shearing action delivers nitrogen over the tubes, giving fast, even evaporation with a load-and-leave workflow. This is the classic microprocessor-controlled LV configuration with a 50-position sample format handled by five independently switchable tube-station manifolds, so only the rows in use need to be turned on. The front panel (photo 2) provides Start/Pause and Stop keys, thumbwheel set points for bath temperature and run time, individual Tube Stations selectors with indicator lamps, and an analog gas pressure gauge. The integrated water bath heats from ambient to approximately 90 C, and the controller handles timed operation, bath temperature monitoring and automatic gas shut-off at the end of a run. The unit is fitted with a stainless steel rack embossed for 13 mm x 100 mm tubes (photo 4); the LV platform accepts tubes from 10 to 32 mm outer diameter and 32 to 165 mm in length with the appropriate Biotage rack. The nameplate (photo 5) shows 100/120 V, 50-60 Hz operation, a 10 A time-delay fuse rating, CE marking and ETL listing. Photos show a preventive maintenance sticker dated 01 June 2021 with a next-due date in 2022, and the facility has applied a "Functions" disposition label to the unit. The machine was photographed standing on a laboratory bench, not connected into a fixed system. No accessories beyond the installed tube rack are shown.
