Organomation

For over 60 years, Organomation has been a leading provider of nitrogen evaporators for testing laboratories worldwide. So, exactly what is a nitrogen evaporator? It’s laboratory equipment that is often used to prepare samples for analysis. Used in a variety of industries, such as, environment testing, agriculture, food and beverage, medicine, quality assurance, forensics, oil and grease, and many more, nitrogen evaporators are used to dry and concentrate samples before further analysis using mass spec. Samples are loaded into a nitrogen evaporator and then nitrogen blowdown is used, sometimes in conjunction with heat, to rid the sample of moisture. Organomation’s benchtop evaporators deliver a gentle stream of nitrogen gas directly onto the sample. The constant gas flow pushes off the vapor-saturated layer of air, which prevents the vapor from returning to the liquid. This decreases the amount of excess solvent vapor lowering the pressure and allowing the sample to evaporate more quickly. This is especially important for small volumes, volatile, and semi-volatile samples. Nitrogen blowdown is a method that does not require consumables; it is very gentle on the sample and is highly affordable compared to alternative options. Organomation offers many variations of nitrogen blowdown evaporators for small volume samples through three main products lines: the popular N-EVAP line, the MULTIVAP and MICROVAP product lines. The N-EVAPs utilize adjustable nitrogen blow down technology allowing full control of nitrogen flow to samples, with no wasted nitrogen gas. Flexibility is what sets the N-EVAP apart: unlike other small volume sample evaporators, the N-EVAP can hold several different types of vials and tubes at once without requiring separate heat blocks. Heated models with water baths or dry beads are available, as well as unheated models. MULTIVAPs provide consistency for batch concentrations of a large number of samples at once. Tubes sit in either a heated custom-machined aluminum block or water bath. The nitrogen distribution manifold raises and lowers as a unit to start or stop evaporation to all samples with one motion. MICROVAPs are compact units designed for 96-well microplates and small batches, often used by customers in the life science and pharmaceutical industries. Samples sit in a heated aluminum block custom-machined to fit your sample tubes. Models are available without heat for evaporatorations performed at ambient temperatures. Now that you know more about Organomation’s nitrogen evaporators, it’s time to address your nitrogen source. After all, what is a nitrogen blowdown evaporator without the blowdown? Organomation is proud to introduce the NITRO-GEN™, a portable and lightweight nitrogen gas generator that works with a lab’s existing compressed air supply to produce nitrogen gas. It is ideal for any lab looking for a low-cost solution to integrate with their clean air line. Nitrogen blowdown evaporators can benefit laboratories by enabling them to evaporate small samples, large batches of samples, and to run multiple sample preparation methods simultaneously.

What is Nitrogen Blowdown Evaporation

Organomation's automatic 20 position nitrogen evaporator combines the classic features of our N-EVAP product line with special pneumatic technology. This system is able to raise the samples out of the water bath, without user interaction, once the timed evaporation is complete.

This instrument provides controlled concentrations of samples through the application of nitrogen gas within a heated water bath.

Samples can be easily inserted and removed from the front of the instrument with the unique sample holder. The sample holder is able to accommodate a variety of popular vial sizes between 10 and 30 millimeters in outside diameter; compared to other evaporators on the market, no additional racks or accessories are needed.

The user is in full control of the nitrogen flow delivered to each sample due to our classic chrome plated needle valves.

The automatic 20 position N-EVAP comes with a digital control system to control the gas flow and water bath temperature.

Simply set the timer, and the instrument will raise the sample, and turn the heat and gas off, once the timed cycle has been completed, The automatic concentration cycle reduces the likelihood of loss or damage to samples.

You can also manually remove samples when the evaporation process is completed with the flip of a switch.

Due to quality materials and the reliability you would expect from a Made in America product, our instruments continue to be an essential sample preparation tool in laboratories worldwide.

We stand behind our quality which is why when you purchase an automatic 20 position N-EVAP, it comes with a one year warranty and complimentary lifetime product support.

Automatic 20 Position N-EVAP® Nitrogen Evaporator | Organomation

Organomation's instruments are known to be used daily for many years, but for labs using highly corrosive solvents, such as hydrochloric acid, a simple coating of Teflon can add years of longevity to the instrument.

While every lab's applications are different, Organomation offers acid resistant coated versions of it's N-EVAPs and MULTIVAPs for use with highly corrosive solvents.

All parts which may come in contact with the solvent are Teflon coated. 

Each instrument comes with Teflon coated needles and acid resistant parts, such as luers and washers and three part tube fitting for the N-EVAP product line.

Acid resistant coating is recommended for use with solvents such as hydrochloric acid, diethyl ether, carbon disulfide, carbon tetrachloride, and benzene.

Organomation's popular non acid resistant coated instruments can withstand most organic solvents, such as acetone, methanol, methylene chloride, and many more.

For additional information about whether your application requires acid resistant coated instrument, please contact an Organomation sales technician.

Acid Resistant N-EVAP® Nitrogen Evaporators | Organomation

Organomation’s NITRO-GEN™ nitrogen generator (http://bit.ly/38LHZ0Y) provides nitrogen gas at a fraction of the cost of nitrogen cylinders and competing generators on the market. Designed for various lab applications, such as LCMS and blanketing, the unit can produce up to a 99 percent pure stream of nitrogen at up to 20 liters per minute. It is ideal for any lab looking for a low-cost solution to integrate with their clean air line. It’s portable and lightweight, working with a lab’s existing compressed air supply to produce nitrogen gas. No electricity is required as it runs off of the pressure provided by the compressed air source. New for 2019, the re-designed model offers improved pre-filtration, an easy to control flow rate, and can be mounted to a wall to save valuable lab bench space. It is a compatible with Organomation’s nitrogen evaporators up to 48 sample positions. The NITRO-GEN uses a hollow-fiber membrane to convert compressed air to a stream of 95-99 percent pure nitrogen gas. The hollow-fiber membrane consists of a series of narrow, semi permeable tubes in a porous membrane. As compressed air travels through the fibers, oxygen and water vapor permeate the membrane and are vented off, leaving a stream of high purity nitrogen gas. Simply connect the NITR0-GEN to a compressed air source, identify your purity and confirm the flow rate needed with the chart provided by Organomation. Set the source pressure to meet your required output. Set the adjustable flow meter to meet yourrequired purity flow rate. For example, if your application requires 98 percent purity, you would need to set the generator to 87psi at 7.5 liters per minute. Organomation stands behind its quality, which is why when you purchase a NITRO-GEN nitrogengenerator it comes with a one year warranty and complimentary lifetime product support.
