The EZ-Bio evaporator, based on the Genevac EZ-2 solvent evaporation platform, is suitable for low to medium boiling point solvents in the range up to 120 C. The unit offers pre-programmed methods for DNA purification and extraction, oligosynthesis, protein purification and removing aqueous mixtures. There is a method for HPLC fractions such as acetonitrile/water mixtures. Simple controls include temperature and time setting, and a large, backlit LCD shows run status, time, temperature and pressure. Compact design saves bench space. A wide selection of sample holders accommodate: 100 × 0.5 ml centrifuge tubes; 64 × 1.5 ml centrifuge tubes; 4 shallow-well microplates; round-bottom flasks up to 500 ml; tubes up to 160 mm long; and HPLC vials. Patented Dri-Pure sample protection system prevents cross-contamination and sample loss through bumping even with difficult mixtures.
