Genevac EZ-2 personal evaporator

Scitek is introducing the third generation of its Genevac EZ-2 personal evaporator. It has been designed specifically for productive, sample-safe solvent removal, be that concentration of samples or complete drying. The unit is very compact while combining good performance, ease of use and compatibility with all commonly used solvents and acids.

The capability to input up to 10 stored methods, including Genevac preset standards for a wide range of applications, makes use straightforward even for new users. It accommodates many sample formats such as round-bottom flasks, tubes, vials, custom reaction blocks and shallow or deep-well microplates. The unit can operate entirely unattended. Simply set the temperature, select the method and press start. 

The product is fitted with an enhanced version of the company’s SpeedTrap. The chemically resistant cold trap is designed to condense solvents in order to protect the environment and help to speed evaporation. The SpeedTrap runs at -50°C to enable it to catch the most volatile solvents. However, it does not freeze the condensed solvent, even when working with water. Solvents collect in the insulated, plastic-coated glass vessel, enabling the user to check the progress of evaporation and determine when the trap should be emptied.

Requiring no peripherals for operation, the compact unit fits neatly onto a laboratory bench or into a fume hood. Independently verified Dri-Pure technology prevents solvent bumping and sample cross-contamination.
