===== About =====

The Genevac EZ-2 4.0 Elite is a high-performance parallel evaporator system designed to efficiently remove solvents from samples through evaporation. It uses advanced vacuum and centrifugal technology to evaporate a wide range of solvents, including volatile organic compounds and aqueous solutions, without overheating or degrading sensitive samples. The EZ-2 Elite features a dry scroll pump and is optimized for removal of even the highest boiling point solvents (> 165 °C), such as DMSO and NMP.
