The Savant SpeedVac SPD2030 integrated vacuum concentrator from Thermo Scientific is a fully integrated high capacity benchtop system. Furthermore, it combines the concentrator, refrigerated cold trap, diaphragm pump and vacuum gauge in a single compact unit. As a result, you process up to 200 samples per run. Moreover, you get all the advantages of a plug-and-play system without external tubing or components.
Firstly, the SPD2030 processes up to 200 × 1.5-2.0 mL microtubes per run with the RH200-12 rotor. In addition, the system accepts 8 × 250 mL centrifuge bottles. Moreover, you can use 192 × 1-dram glass vials, 48 × 50 mL conical tubes, or even 12 × shallow well microplates with the right rotor. As a result, the SPD2030 is the logical choice for laboratories processing larger series. Furthermore, you get this capacity without compromising on the integrated plug-and-play experience.
Unlike modular SpeedVacs, the SPD2030 requires no setup or connections. Firstly, the concentrator, refrigerated cold trap, oil-free PTFE diaphragm pump and vacuum gauge are all housed in a single unit. Consequently, there is no need to install tubing. In addition, you avoid calibrating components or troubleshooting leaks. Furthermore, every system is factory-tested for vacuum integrity before it reaches your lab.
Firstly, the built-in oil-free PTFE diaphragm pump (2-headed, 30 L/min @ 50 Hz) delivers an ultimate vacuum level of less than 10 Torr (13 mbar, 1.3 kPa). Because no pump oil is required, maintenance tasks are eliminated. For example, you skip oil changes, oil filters and oil mist eliminator replacement. In addition, vacuum ramping and pressure control prevent sample bumping at the start of the cycle.
The SPD2030 is designed for aqueous and non-aggressive organic solvents. Typical solvents include water, ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, acetonitrile and buffers. Therefore, the instrument is ideal for DNA and RNA precipitates and PCR sample preparation. In addition, it handles oligonucleotide synthesis, protein and peptide concentration, HPLC fractions and metabolite research. However, for aggressive solvents such as DMSO, methylene chloride, TFA or strong acids and bases, you should choose a modular high capacity system such as the SPD300DDA.
A distinguishing feature of the SPD2030 is its compatibility with PRO-rotor upgrade kits. Firstly, the PRO-10 includes 4 single-shelf carriers. Secondly, the PRO-20 has 4 two-shelf carriers for microplates. Thirdly, the PRO-50 has 4 five-shelf carriers for shallow well microplates. As a result, you significantly expand capacity and flexibility. Moreover, you upgrade the SPD2030 to a microplate system without purchasing a new instrument.
Firstly, the bright digital control panel offers 3 preset programs and 3 user-defined programs. Per program, you set the temperature, run time, heat time, ramp rate (1 to 5) and vacuum level (30 to 5.1 Torr in 0.1 Torr increments) separately. In addition, two independent timers for heat and run cycle provide full control over the process. Subsequently, you save your settings for reproducible results. Finally, you download live run data via the USB port.
Firstly, the radiant glass cover with soft-close mechanism and lid lock indicator visually confirms that the instrument is securely closed before the run starts. In addition, the pre-heat button allows you to bring the chamber up to temperature before loading samples. Moreover, the radiant lamp above the lid accelerates evaporation. As a result, condensation on the cover is prevented.
The SPD2030 is available in three configurations. Firstly, as a standalone unit. Secondly, as a kit with flask cover (SPD2030A). Thirdly, as a complete starter kit with rotor and CryoCool (SPD2030P1). This way, you choose the configuration that matches your application and budget. In addition, PRO-rotor upgrade kits and additional rotors are available separately.
Firstly, the SPD2030 is used in life sciences, biotech, molecular biology, proteomics, drug discovery and the pharmaceutical industry. Typical applications include high-throughput DNA/RNA precipitation and large-batch PCR preparation. In addition, the system handles protein and peptide concentration after HPLC, plus metabolite research. Would you like advice on the right SpeedVac for your application?

Integrated high capacity SpeedVac vacuum concentrator for aqueous and non-aggressive solvents. Complete system with concentrator, refrigerated cold trap, oil-free pump and vacuum gauge in a single housing. High capacity up to 200 microtubes, expandable with PRO-rotor kits for microplates. Available in three configurations: standalone, kit with flask cover, or complete starter kit with rotor.








The SPD2030 is used for high-throughput concentration and drying of samples in aqueous and non-aggressive solvents. Typical applications include large-batch DNA/RNA precipitation, PCR sample preparation, oligonucleotide synthesis, protein and peptide concentration, HPLC fractions and metabolite research.
Both are integrated SpeedVac systems with the same features (refrigerated cold trap, oil-free pump, vacuum gauge, 3+3 programs, USB data export). The main difference is capacity and footprint. The SPD1030 processes 120 microtubes per run and measures 64 × 66 × 41 cm. The SPD2030 processes 200 microtubes per run and measures 79 × 71 × 49 cm. Furthermore, the SPD2030 is compatible with PRO-rotor upgrade kits for microplate applications.
The SPD2030 is suitable for aqueous and non-aggressive organic solvents such as water, ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, acetonitrile and buffers. For aggressive solvents such as DMSO, methylene chloride, TFA or strong acids and bases, you choose a modular high capacity system such as the SPD300DDA.
All three contain the same SPD2030 unit (concentrator, cold trap, pump). The SPD2030-230 is the standalone unit with glass condensation flask. The SPD2030A-230 is a kit with flask cover (FC400) added. The SPD2030P1-230 is a complete starter kit including rotor (RH200-12), CryoCool heat transfer fluid and condensation flask, ready for immediate use.
PRO-rotor upgrade kits are expansions that convert the SPD2030 into a microplate system. The PRO-10 contains a 4-position FPR-4A rotor with 4 single-shelf carriers. The PRO-20 has 4 two-shelf carriers for microplates (8 plates per run in total). The PRO-50 has 4 five-shelf carriers for shallow well microplates (20 plates per run in total). This way, you upgrade the SPD2030 to a high-throughput microplate concentrator without purchasing a new instrument.
The RH200-12 rotor is included as standard with the SPD2030P1, suitable for 200 microtubes of 1.5-2.0 mL. The same rotor also accepts 200 × 12 × 75 mm tubes (4 mL working volume) and 118 × 13 × 100 mm tubes (8 mL working volume). For alternative sample formats, more than 15 additional rotors are available.
Yes, with dimensions of 79 × 71 × 49 cm the SPD2030 is designed to fit in a standard laboratory fume hood. A clearance of 8 cm on all sides is required for ventilation.
Yes, via the USB port you download live run data for traceability, reporting and GMP-compliant quality documentation.
230 VAC / 50 Hz, 8 amperes. The plug is a SCHUKO standard European plug and fits directly into Dutch wall sockets.
Depending on the rotor, the SPD2030 processes up to 200 × 1.5-2.0 mL microtubes (with the RH200-12), 192 × 1-dram glass vials (RH192-15), 48 × 50 mL conical tubes (RH48-50U), 52 × 15 mL conical tubes (RH52-15) or 8 × 100 mL pear-shaped flasks (RH8-200).
