A sample concentrator (vacuum or nitrogen-based) is an instrument used to remove solvents and concentrate liquid samples, primarily in chemical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology laboratories. Vacuum concentrators operate by combining three principles: vacuum, controlled heating, and centrifugal force. In contrast, nitrogen sample concentrators combine controlled heating with continuous and uniform nitrogen flow, enabling efficient solvent evaporation. These systems allow for effective solvent evaporation without degrading heat-sensitive substances and are widely used for concentrating DNA, RNA, proteins, and chemical compounds following extraction or purification processes.
