Genevac has unveiled an online film that demonstrates its EZ-2 personal solvent evaporator.
The film is targeted at laboratories tasked with concentrating or drying samples in wide-ranging sample formats.
Using advanced evaporation science, the EZ-2 personal solvent evaporator has been designed specifically for productive, sample-safe solvent removal, be that the concentration of samples or complete drying.
The film provides an informative introduction to the science behind solvent evaporation technology, according to the company.
Following this, the viewer is shown how the EZ-2 works, including the range of compatible sample holders for concentration and drying, loading samples, operation and stored method programming.
Genevac claims that, to enable all users to achieve good results every time, the compact EZ-2 has been made easier to use than a conventional rotary evaporator.
The EZ-2 offers users the capability to input up to 10 stored methods.
In addition to accommodating a range of sample formats (round-bottom flasks, tubes, vials, custom reaction blocks and shallow- or deep-well microplates), it can operate entirely unattended.
Users have to set the temperature, select the solvent type and press start.
The EZ-2 is fitted with an enhanced version of Genevac's Speedtrap.
This chemically resistant cold trap is designed to condense solvents in order to protect the environment and to help speed up evaporation.
Incorporating evaporation technology, the EZ-2 is typically able to remove solvents in about half the time of traditional evaporator designs, according to the company.
Requiring no peripherals for operation, the compact EZ-2 fits neatly onto a laboratory bench or into a fume hood.
All key components on the system are user serviceable, ensuring a low cost of ownership.
