EVX-96 Apricot Evaporex® Microplate Evaporator

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

The Evaporex® microplate evaporator 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 microplate evaporators are suitable for use with aqueous or organic solvents (not dry or concentrated acid solutions).

Feature	Benefit
Fast	simultaneous upper and lower gas heating mechanism concentrates samples up to five times faster than other techniques eliminates bottlenecks in high throughput sample screening
Compact	fits under any hood or micro- ventilation system
Flexible	user-adjustable flow rates and gas temperatures
Convenient	both upper and lower assemblies are easily removable for quick and simple cleaning
