Speed-Vac Concentrator System
Depending on the precise assay protocol being followed, we ask users to make available a specific amount of sample material at a defined concentration. When users don’t, or are unable to supply samples that meet established guidelines, the Facility’s Speed-Vac Concentrator with UVS400 Universal Vacuum System is used to concentrate provided nucleic acid materials. This method is preferred over EtOH precipitation approaches as there is no loss of precious material and no chance of added remaining salt contamination effecting downstream enzymatic processing steps.
