Optimised to remove solvents typically used in biological research, such as ethanol, methanol, water, and acetonitrile, without being encumbered by complex organic chemistry functions
Genevac chose the recent International Biotech 2004 exhibition to launch a brand new evaporation system aimed at the molecular biology market.
The EZ-Bio system uses the established EZ-2 solvent removal platform in a specially engineered product optimised for the needs of biologists.
Solvent removal tasks in biological research commonly involve ethanol, methanol, water and acetonitrile and the EZ-Bio is optimised to remove such solvents. The new system is not encumbered by many of the extra functions associated with complex organic chemistry applications and consequently provides an evaporator tailored to the needs and budget of academic researchers, and in particular molecular biologists.
Genevac says EZ-Bio offers great value for money in a package that provides as standard pre-programmed methods for evaporation of HPLC fractions and DNA samples as well as its patented Dri-Pure anti-bumping control.
Sample holders are available for Eppendorf tubes, HPLC vials and microtitre plates. Initially the system will only be offered in the UK, France, Germany, Switzerland and the Benelux region, although Genevac intends to extend availability as demand grows.
