Berlin, MA — [November 3, 2025] — Organomation, a trusted manufacturer of laboratory evaporators and sample preparation equipment, is excited to announce the launch of its new Evaporation Time Calculator Tool, a free, downloadable Excel file that allows scientists to estimate solvent evaporation times in nitrogen blowdown systems with ease and accuracy.
This innovative calculator helps researchers predict how long it will take for their samples to dry down under specific lab conditions. By entering just four key parameters—solvent type, starting volume, ending volume, and desired bath temperature—users receive an estimated evaporation time in minutes, generated from real experimental data collected using Organomation’s blowdown evaporators.
“Our customers frequently ask how long their samples will take to evaporate in our blowdown concentrators,” said Sarah Johnson, Organomation's Marketing Specialist. “Our goal was to give laboratories a fast, data-driven way to predict how long their samples will take to dry down under specific conditions. This tool helps researchers plan more efficiently and get the most out of their nitrogen evaporators, without the guesswork.”
A Tool Designed for Everyday Laboratory Use
Unlike online calculators or one-time estimators, Organomation’s new tool is a downloadable and reusable Excel file that users can keep indefinitely. Once downloaded, the calculator can be used offline, making it accessible even in secure lab environments without internet access. Teams can easily share it internally, ensuring everyone has access to the same data-driven resource for planning their evaporation workflows.
Because the tool is built around empirical data from controlled lab experiments, users can expect realistic timeframes that reflect true performance under nitrogen blowdown conditions. This data-centric approach helps eliminate the guesswork often associated with estimating evaporation time, especially when changing solvents, sample sizes, or bath temperatures.
Practical Benefits for Laboratory Planning
By using the Evaporation Time Calculator, labs can:
1. Plan workloads more efficiently, knowing approximately how long each sample set will take to concentrate to complete dryness or a specific endpoint.
2. Optimize nitrogen evaporator performance by experimenting with different temperature and volume parameters before running actual samples.
3. Reduce downtime and bottlenecks by aligning schedules and resources around more accurate evaporation estimates.
4. Standardize processes across teams, ensuring reproducible results and consistent timing between technicians.
The tool is especially valuable for analytical, environmental, food safety, and pharmaceutical labs using nitrogen blowdown evaporators, helping them estimate evaporation times, improve workflow efficiency, reduce sample loss, and achieve consistent, reproducible results.
How to Access the Calculator
Organomation’s Evaporation Time Calculator is available as a free download and can be accessed directly through the company’s website: https://explore.organomation.com/evaporation-time-calculator-excel-download
Once downloaded, users can input their parameters and instantly receive estimated evaporation times—no special software or add-ons required.
