For more than sixty-five years, Organomation evaporators have been simplifying and streamlining sample preparation for laboratories worldwide. Many researchers continue to rely on their N-EVAP nitrogen evaporators, with some instruments still running strong after for a decade and beyond. To celebrate this unmatched longevity, Organomation has launched the Oldest Laboratory Evaporator Contest 2025, open through the end of September.
Laboratories—from academic research settings to commercial environmental labs—have challenging workloads that demand robust, reliable instrumentation. Nothing demonstrates durability by design more clearly than N-EVAPs faithfully serving for decades in these demanding environments. As highlighted in our contest submissions received to date, customers often tout the enduring service and minimal downtime of their nitrogen dryers.
Environmental laboratories frequently face evolving analytical challenges, from wastewater and drinking water analysis to soil, sediment, and pesticide screening. Test tube evaporators like our MULTIVAP and MICROVAP fill a key niche by efficiently evaporating multiple small-volume samples at once—a challenge that can be cumbersome on traditional rotary evaporators, processing one sample at a time. The batch processing efficiency and gentle nitrogen blowdown of Organomation units offer reproducible, accurate results for even the most temperature-sensitive analytes.
Labs with high sample throughput benefit from space-efficient MULTIVAP units capable of processing large batches, while the MICROVAP is perfect for smaller labs or methods requiring rapid cycle times. The plug-and-go simplicity means minimal technician training time and reduced bottlenecks in sample concentration workflows.
Laboratories often report that their Organomation evaporators operate flawlessly for over 20 years, highlighting the real-world cost savings and productivity gains from robust, well-supported equipment. Our customer support team ensures maximum uptime and productivity, should any service needs arise.
Ilona shared, “It [the MICROVAP] is used on a daily basis. That little unit works hard! It is used routinely.” She emphasized that her MICROVAP, still going strong after five years of intensive use, is “essential” to the lab’s workflow and valued its robust design, simple maintenance, and industry-leading reliability—qualities reflected in every Organomation instrument.
