PCI Nitrogen Concentrator for fast and controlled sample evaporation
Precision sample concentrator designed for nitrogen purging and multiple sample pre-concentration in organic media, with controlled temperature and stable gas flow for dependable evaporation performance.
Product Overview
Single-product category presentation for PCI nitrogen concentrator systems.
The PCI Nitrogen Concentrator is a precision sample concentrator by nitrogen purging, developed for multiple sample pre-concentration in organic media. It is a tabletop system that can be set to constant flow and constant temperature for efficient and repeatable evaporation. [file:15]
The brochure highlights two working configurations: EV-PLUS-100 for higher sample capacity operation and EV-PLUS-50 for low-volume concentration work. Both models use microprocessor-based control, digital display, timer-based operation, and built-in exhaust arrangements. [file:15]
