TOMY MV-100 Vacuum Centrifugal Concentrator for Sample Concentration

The TOMY MV-100 Vacuum Centrifugal Concentrator is a compact, low-vibration benchtop instrument designed for efficient sample concentration, suitable for use inside clean benches. Employing a magnetic drive system, it ensures stable vacuum operation without leakage, critical for molecular biology workflows such as bioprocessing and molecular diagnostics.

Key features include:

• Capacity for 12 x 1.5 ml tubes with included rotor, ideal for small-volume sample concentration common in biotechnology and clinical diagnostics.
• Adjustable heating function with settings OFF or 55°C, facilitating evaporation control during concentration processes.
• Integrated small oil-free vacuum pump achieving vacuum pressures of 5 hPa, monitored with a precise vacuum gauge (0–0.1 MPa), optimizing conditions for gentle solvent removal.
• High-grade filtration system including a 0.2 μm intake filter and aerosol exhaust filter, ensuring sample integrity and laboratory safety.
• Compact physical footprint (20 cm width x 20.5 cm depth x 22.8 cm height) and lightweight construction (~7.2 kg) support convenient placement in molecular biology labs focused on synthetic biology and gene editing.
• Operates on standard laboratory power supplies (AC 100V, 50/60 Hz, 3A).

This vacuum centrifugal concentrator is widely used in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines, serving as a critical instrument for solvent removal and sample preparation prior to downstream applications like PCR, sequencing, and analytical assays. The unit listed is secondhand and sold as-is; its original performance may differ, so confirmation of operational status before purchase is recommended.
