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.

• Diethyl ether
• 1,2-Dimethoxyethane
• 2-Ethoxyethanol
• Hydrogen cyanide
• Pentane
• Triethylsilane

Sample formats

Sample holders for the following formats are available:

Vials: 40, 30, 20, and 8-mL sizes
Test tubes: 16, 18, and 25-mm diameter and up to 150 mm length
Centrifuge tubes: 50-mL size
