The Thermo Savant Explorer is a computer-controlled, sample dryer/concentration system designed to provide repeatable, accurate results with the ability to monitor sample temperature to protect samples from overheating.

The Explorer combines a centrifugal evaporation chamber with a refrigerated trap and a vacuum pump. Vapors are drawn away from the chamber to accelerate evaporation. Spinning the samples during evaporation reduces bumping and foaming. The samples can be heated, using the chamber heater and/or heat lamps, to counteract evaporative cooling. Computerized control of temperatures, set to user specifications, during and after the run, avoids heat-based damage to samples.

The refrigerated trap condenses out the vapors evaporated from the sample so they do not reach the vacuum pump nor are discharged into the atmosphere. The trap can be used with or without a Glass Insert Trap.
