CONTEST ENTRY

Oldest Evaporator Contest 2025

Since 1959, Organomation evaporators have been a trusted part of labs worldwide, delivering efficient sample preparation results year after year. Many have outlasted generations of researchers, moving from one lab member to the next while still performing reliably.

Now we’re launching our first Oldest Organomation Evaporator Contest to find the longest-running unit still in service. Whether it’s an N-EVAP from the ’70s or a MICROVAP from the early 2000s, if it’s still working, we want to see it.

It’s our way of honoring the durability, craftsmanship, and trust that have defined Organomation for more than 65 years.

Prizes: 

- First Place: $5,000 in Organomation store credit
- Second Place: $2,000 in Organomation store credit
- Third Place: Free preventative maintenance kit for your specific evaporator model

Submissions:

- Open on September 1st, 2025
