Our lab has recently been looking at metabolomics of T cells under hypoxic conditions therefore we must dry our samples without risk of cross-contaminating between samples.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Mass Spec

Tips

The module for the evaporators are not very stable therefore every time you move it up or down, make sure it is stabilized before letting it go.

Summary

The Good

The needles are easy to clean

The Bad

The module for standing the needles upright takes some time to get used to

The Bottom Line

If your lab wants an evaporator that does its job, then this equipment is just right for you. There isn't anything fancy, just some time to get used to.
