Ratek EM Series Evaporation Manifold Kits for Ratek Dry Block Heaters

Ratek Evaporation Manifold Kit, Stand & Valve and Needle System Descriptions

Ratek EM Evaporation Manifold Description:

The Ratek EM Evaporation Manifold Series offers a comprehensive evaporation solution designed to fit any of the Ratek DBH1000D, DBH2000D, and DBH4000D Digital Dry Block Heaters, with six model configurations available to accommodate diverse laboratory requirements. These versatile manifolds feature removable surgical stainless steel needles that can be configured from 1 to 30 ports to suit standard size blocks, with blanking needles available for unused outlets to optimize gas flow control and efficiency. The system includes individual valves on the rear of the heater for precise gas flow control to each manifold, making it ideal for nitrogen blow-down applications and sample concentration procedures. Compatible with separately sold retort stands (EMS1000, EMS2000, and EMS4000) that attach to the heater for height adjustment and clearance, the manifolds can be easily removed when not required and secured with a single clamping screw, while custom heater blocks and manifolds can be manufactured to accommodate most test tube sizes for specialized applications.

Evaporation Manifold Applications

When combined with a Ratek Dry Block Heater, applications for this evaporation system may include the preparation of samples for drug development and metabolism, bioresearch, combinatorial chemistry, environmental testing, forensics and toxicology. The controlled nitrogen blow-down capability makes it particularly valuable for pharmaceutical research where precise solvent removal is critical for compound purity and concentration. Additionally, the system excels in food safety testing, clinical diagnostics, and quality control laboratories where rapid sample preparation and consistent results are essential for regulatory compliance and analytical accuracy.

Ratek EMSN1 Evap System Needle Description:

The Ratek EMSN1 Evap System Needle is a precision-engineered replacement component designed for use with Ratek evaporation system manifolds, featuring a removable surgical stainless steel construction with a polycarbonate hub for optimal durability and performance. This individual replacement needle ensures consistent gas flow delivery for nitrogen blow-down applications and sample concentration procedures, while its easy installation design allows for quick maintenance and replacement when needed. The surgical-grade stainless steel construction provides excellent chemical resistance and longevity, making it suitable for demanding laboratory environments where precise solvent evaporation is critical for analytical accuracy and sample preparation across pharmaceutical, environmental, and research applications.

Ratek EMSN2 Evap System Blanking Needle Description:

The Ratek EMSN2 Evap System Blanking Needle serves as an essential accessory for optimizing gas flow control in Ratek evaporation manifold systems, specifically designed to block gas flow through individual ports when not all outlets are being utilized. Constructed from surgical stainless steel for maximum durability and chemical resistance, this blanking needle allows users to customize their evaporation setup by sealing unused ports, thereby directing gas flow only to active sample positions for improved efficiency and consistent results. The easy-to-install design enables rapid reconfiguration of manifold systems as experimental requirements change, making it an indispensable component for laboratories requiring flexible and precise control over their sample evaporation processes.

Ratek EMS Manifold Stand Valve Description:

The Ratek EMS1000, EMS2000, and EMS4000 Manifold Stand Valve Series provides a comprehensive mounting and control system for Ratek's evaporation manifolds (models EM4/6/9/12/20/96), featuring retort posts on a removable stand combined with precision gas tap assemblies across three model configurations to suit various laboratory requirements. This versatile system allows for adjustable vertical positioning and clearance that can be easily reconfigured to accommodate different block setups, ensuring optimal alignment and functionality regardless of the specific manifold configuration or sample vessel requirements. The intelligent modular design maximizes laboratory flexibility while maintaining precise control over gas delivery for consistent evaporation results.

The evaporation system offers exceptional operational flexibility, allowing individual manifolds or the complete system to be quickly removed by simply lifting the block heater from the rear stand when not needed, streamlining laboratory workflow and equipment management. This smart design enables the evaporation system to function independently from the block heater during applications where temperature control isn't necessary, expanding the range of possible applications and improving laboratory efficiency. Each manifold is equipped with dedicated valves located on the rear of the evaporation stand, providing individual gas flow control for precise operation and allowing researchers to customize gas delivery to specific sample requirements, ensuring optimal evaporation rates and consistent analytical results across diverse laboratory applications.
