Abstract

A method is described for assembling an evaporation manifold from a cell culture flask, which allows for efficient nitrogen evaporation of hexane from 24- and 96-well plates. The precursor parts are readily available in most research laboratories. The nitrogen evaporation manifold is inexpensive, could possibly be used with other organic solvents, and appears ideal for a small number of samples in a multi-well format.
