EVX-96 Apricot Evaporex®

The Evaporex series solvent evaporators offer high-performance drydown for microplates at a reasonable price.

The Evaporex® has two needle assemblies, each consists of 96 individual stainless steel needles that evenly distribute heated gas into the microplates from both the top and bottom. The upper gas flow path is sealed away from the heating elements in a stainless steel path in order to prevent sample contamination.

The lower platform can be adjusted to any height from the upper needle assembly, allowing the needles to come in close proximity to - without actually touching - the sample. This feature minimizes drying time and enables the user to develop methods utilizing a variety of plate sizes and sample volumes.

The EVX Series is suitable for use with aqueous or organic solvents (not dry or concentrated acid solutions).
