I need to construct a N-evaporator setup for drying small volume of samples (0,5 ml and less) however need details about tubings used in the system. It is a basic system connecting a N-tank with pastor pipettes at the end (pipettes are connected to inlets on a board with flexible tubing and pipettes are attached to the board with clipses) * Connection between N-tank and inlets---copper or stainless steel tubing? And what diameter is best for gentle stream? * Which flexible tubing is best to fit pastor pipettes?(PTFE,silicone..etc?) * I work on the analyses of organic compounds in various environmental& geological samples
Thanks for answers in advance
Beautiful question and great answers
I wish you success in the service of humanity and science
Best do a quick image search in Google, looking for "laboratory nitrogen evaporator". You will get plenty of ideas.
If you have the money, consider buying a dedicated system. We have een using Labconco products for years, and they have quite interesting products.
