Citation recognised the ease of use, sample capacity and good industrial design of the Genevac EZ-2 and noted its considerable benefits to chemists who need to remove organic solvents
Genevac has been awarded the prestigious Diploma for Analytical Chemistry by the Department of Chemistry at the University of Warsaw, in recognition of the part played by the company's EZ-2 personal evaporator in chemistry research.
The award came during the Eurolab 2005 exhibition held in the Stalinist-Realist Palace of Science and Culture in the centre of Warsaw.
The citation recognised the ease of use, sample capacity and good industrial design of the Genevac EZ-2 and noted its considerable benefits to chemists who need to remove organic solvents safely and without damaging their samples.
Receiving the Diploma on behalf of Genevac, marketing manager Steve Knight commented "This is a great day for the EZ-2, coming at the end of two years successful deployment in chemistry and drug discovery laboratories around the world.
"The Polish Academy of Sciences, together with Warsaw University, has selected only the best new products for this award.
"We are very proud and pleased to receive it on behalf of the great team that design and build the EZ-2 and our Polish partners, TK Biotech".
Customers who visited the TK Biotech stand were able to see the EZ-2 for the first time in Poland and expressed great interest in such a useful new instrument.
"We have had many Polish customers who want to see it in their laboratories" said Tomasz Kaminski, managing director of TK Biotech.
"Over the next few weeks my team will be talking with all of our customers and arranging for them to try out this award-winning evaporator for themselves".
Incorporating the latest centrifugal evaporation technology in a compact and easy-to-use bench top model, the EZ-2 is priced to be affordable by almost any laboratory says Genevac.
Intuitive controls and large LCD display provide ease of use comparable to a typical rotary evaporator, yet the EZ-2 can process many more samples per unit time.
The EZ-2 now accommodates a wide selection of sample holders enabling evaporation from most common sample formats including round-bottom flasks up to 500ml, tubes up to 160mm long, custom reaction blocks and shallow or deep-well microplates.
