Smart Evaporator's VVC method, Vacuum Vortex Concentration, makes it possible to remove DMSO. The spiral airflow created by the special concentrator plug "Spiral Plug" supports rapid solvent removal.

Principle of Vacuum Vortex Concentration

1. Vacuum suction with a pump Vacuum suction is initiated by a vacuum pump in the same way as in conventional rotary evaporators. 2. Gas influx through a spiral slit on a Spiral Plug The Spiral Plug has a special groove (slit) carved on it.  When the vacuum pump starts suctioning, the gas from the surrounding air passes through the slit and flows into the container. 3. Generating spiral air flow The inflowing gas spirals inside the vessel, creating an airflow inside the vessel. 4. Increasing the contact surface area between liquid and gas The generated spiral air flow agitates the sample in the vessel. Then the surface area of the agitated sample increases. 5. Promoting solvent volatilization This is a special technique in which volatilization is promoted by the increase of surface area caused by the spiral airflow.

The following is an example of the evaporation speed at which 5 mL of DMSO or DMF is evaporated in a 20 mL vial. DMSO, which is difficult to evaporate easily, can be evaporated in just over 3 hours. (*Data obtained with gas replacement)
