Using the Aspirator

  • Make sure the valve of the aspirator is set to the closed position; if in the closed position, switch on the pump.
  • Switch on the cooler.
  • Set 'Drying Rate' to "HIGH"


It is important that the pump and the cooler have been running for at least 10 minutes prior to carrying out aspirations - this gives the machine time to reach the correct temperature.

  • Open the aspirator lid and insert the Eppendorf tubes making sure that the lids are open. Also ensure that the Eppendorf tubes are placed in a symmetrical fashion so that a balance is maintained.
  • Set the 'Concentrator' to "ON"
  • Slowly set the valve to the open position.
  • Leave samples in the aspirator for 5 minutes initially, checking on it's progress afterwards.
