Your Sample-Concentration Playbook: Safe Gas, Gentle Heat, Solid Data

Stop losing sensitive samples to evaporation errors and get proven tools to protect your workflow

Written byOrganomation andLab Manager

Evaporation may be routine, but small choices—excess heat, poor nitrogen flow, missed maintenance—can compromise your results. Nitrogen blowdown is an efficient, low-temperature method for concentrating samples, but effective use depends on choosing equipment that fits your workflow. This compendium includes Organomation’s updated 2025 evaporator guide, with clear benchmarks for selecting the right system.

You’ll also get a real-world example of a lab that scaled up evaporation of sensitive PFAS compounds using nitrogen evaporation, quadrupling throughput with no added risk. Another piece explains why nitrogen blowdown improves recovery and signal quality in LC-MS. A short video walks through blowdown setup and technique, and a Lab Manager safety checklist reinforces proper chemical handling.

Access the Compendium to:

  • Compare evaporator models across vendors by vial capacity, temperature range, and gas control
  • Learn nitrogen-saving design features that reduce operating cost over time
  • See how N-EVAP systems enable gentle drying without overheating or analyte loss
  • Get setup tips and usage practices for labs handling multiple evaporation formats
