The Master Science Dry Block Nitrogen Evaporator concentrates samples by blowing nitrogen onto tubes held in a high-purity aluminium heating block. Using a dry block instead of a water bath keeps the bench clean and gives fast, uniform heating up to 160 °C.
Twelve gas needles can each be opened or closed independently, and the needle manifold height adjusts steplessly with one hand to suit different tube lengths.

Key Benefits
- No water bath mess: the Master Science Dry Block Nitrogen Evaporator heats through aluminium, so there is no water to refill or contaminate.
- Save nitrogen: each needle can be shut off when fewer samples are loaded.
- Fast heating: reaches 160 °C in 15 minutes or less.
- Fits many tube sizes: interchangeable blocks cover 10 to 20 mm tubes.
- Compact footprint: small enough for crowded fume hoods.

Common Laboratory Problems and How This Evaporator Helps
How the Master Science Dry Block Nitrogen Evaporator improves sample concentration:
- Water bath contamination and refilling: dry block heating removes the bath entirely.
- Wasting gas on empty positions: needles switch off individually.
- Uneven tube temperatures: aluminium block heats uniformly.
- Different tube sizes: swap blocks to match the tubes.
- Slow warm-up: fast heating shortens preparation time.
