Genevac EZ-2 4.0 Bionic Centrifugal Evaporator
Genevac EZ-2 4.0 Bionic Centrifugal Evaporator
The latest addition to our Genevac EZ-2 Series centrifugal evaporators automates the EZ-2 4.0 Elite model with HCl compatibility and Inert Gas Purge options. The new EZ-2 4.0 Bionic comes equipped with all the iconic features of the standard EZ-2, but improved and optimized for automated operation:
- automated lid optimized for robotic operation
- indexed rotors
- command set
- automation-friendly sample holders
Overview
With the new EZ-2 4.0 Bionic, automation streamlines the most repetitive steps of the sample preparation process, empowering scientists with more time to concentrate on breakthroughs that redefine novel modality workflows.
Features & Benefits
- Automated Lid Optimized for Robotic Operation — On standard models, the lid is manually operated and samples are loaded and unloaded by hand. The Bionic model is equipped with software that automatically opens and closes the lid, with a wider opening that allows for robotic loading and unloading of samples.
- Indexed Rotor — The AC motor in standard models spins freely for manual loading of samples. The Bionic model includes an indexed rotor programmed to stop at fixed positions for precision loading and unloading during robotic operation.
- Command Set — A new command set enables automation controls to operate the complete machine through the RS232 port. All functions can be triggered through these commands, including opening and closing the lid, starting and stopping the evaporator, defrosting and draining, selecting a method, and more.
- Automation-Friendly Sample Holders — The redesigned sample holders on the Bionic model are optimized for robotic operation, ensuring a secure grip for safe loading and unloading.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the EZ-2 4.0 Bionic differ from standard Genevac evaporators?
The main differences are its automated lid operation for robotic loading and unloading, an indexed rotor for precision sample handling, a new command set for full automation control, and automation-friendly sample holders.
What are the key benefits of the EZ-2 4.0 Bionic?
Key benefits include a streamlined sample preparation process, reduced risk of human error, 24/7 remote operation capability, acceleration of novel modality workflows in small-molecule drug discovery, and enhanced safety by minimizing handling of toxic compounds.
What features does the EZ-2 4.0 Bionic share with standard models?
Shared features include Dri-Pure® anti-bumping technology, sample temperature control to maintain sample integrity, Auto Defrost & Drain (AD&D), compatibility with high-boiling-point solvents like DMSO, HCl compatibility, an Inert Gas Purge (IGP) option, the ability to accommodate a wide range of sample formats (including microtiter plates, vials, tubes, and flasks to bottles ranging from nanoliters to about 400 mL), the ability to separate a solid from a liquid, the ability to dry, concentrate, and freeze-dry, and an Auto Stop function.
What types of solvents can the EZ-2 4.0 Bionic handle?
It can handle all common solvents, from volatiles to aqueous to high–boiling-point solvents like DMSO and NMP, and it’s also capable of evaporating samples with 6M HCl and explosive solvents like diethyl ether (with the IGP option).
What type of vacuum pump does it use?
It uses an external oil-free scroll vacuum pump with an ultimate system vacuum of < 0.4 mbar.
How does the automation work?
The automation is controlled through a new command set that operates the machine via the RS232 port, including lid operation, starting and stopping the evaporator, defrosting and draining, method selection, and more.
Is the EZ-2 4.0 Bionic suitable for 24/7 operation?
Yes, it’s designed to allow for 24/7 remote operation, which can accelerate drug development processes.
How does the EZ-2 4.0 Bionic ensure sample safety?
It uses several technologies for sample protection, including Dri-Pure® anti-bumping technology to prevent cross-contamination and sample loss, a sample temperature control system to maintain sample integrity, and an Auto Stop function to detect when a run is completed.
