Durable Benchtop Evaporator for Corrosive Solvents

Organomation’s nitrogen blowdown evaporators are built to stand the test of time due to the use of high quality parts and materials, all sourced within the USA. All of their instruments are carefully assembled and tested individually, by hand, to ensure each unit meets their strict durability standards. Many of the company’s long-time customers report using their equipment for upwards of 30 years before needing a replacement. Organomation’s standard nitrogen evaporators can withstand a wide variety of common laboratory solvents, including Acetonitrile, Hexane, and Methanol.

But what if you’re using acidic or corrosive solvents? How does this change the longevity of your Organomation evaporator? The short answer is that it doesn’t! This is because Organomation offers a Teflon coating on their instruments (represented by the option code -RT) when the intended application requires the use of corrosive solvents such as Chloroform, Formic Acid, Hydrochloric Acid, Pyridine, Toluene, and other similar solvents.

The Teflon coating provides a protective layer to prevent these corrosive solvents from damaging any stainless steel parts, increasing the durability of all Organomation concentrators. Each durable benchtop evaporator will come with an acid resistant coating on all parts that may come in contact with the solvent such as the inner bath pan, sample holder, needles, luers & washers, and 3-part tube fittings.

If you’re not sure whether your application will require an acid resistant sample concentrator, Organomation has published a solvent compatibility table that provides instrument model recommendations based on the solvents you will be using.
