Moisture Control Reagents
We set the standard in solvent drying agents and moisture control solutions for oligonucleotide synthesis. Traditionally, molecular sieves have been the preferred method to achieve and maintain low moisture levels in solvents. However, these have several well-known issues, including inconsistent activation, variable performance, limited objective quality control measures, and friction between molecular sieves leading to the generation a fine dust.
Our EZ Dry ULTRA moisture traps revolutionize solvent drying by packaging pre-dried molecular sieves in convenient permeable sachets, allowing moisture to be easily adsorbed from the surrounding solvent while preventing dust from entering the solution.
Setting the Standard in Solvent Drying and Moisture Control
Low moisture levels are essential for reliable oligonucleotide synthesis. Traditional molecular sieves are effective but require time-consuming preparation and quality control. emp Biotech’s EZ Dry ULTRA moisture traps contain pre-dried molecular sieves in permeable sachets, providing a fast, convenient solution for drying solvents in volumes from 100 mL to 20 L.

Core technical characteristics
Passive moisture control
Diffusion-driven, in-bottle moisture trap for long-term reduction of water content, without active gas purging or the need for external power or system modifications.
Low water content maintenance
Maintains water levels at or below 30 ppm in solvents and solvent mixtures during routine storage and handling under defined conditions.
Extended residence time
Designed for long term use, enabling continuous maintenance of low water content without frequent replacement.
Moisture reduction capability
Reduces elevated water content following accidental exposure or handling events with an appropriate trap-to-volume ratio and operating conditions.
Scalable formats
Available in multiple sizes designed to fit a wide range of common laboratory and process solvent volumes – from 100 ml to 20 l – enabling consistent application across scales.
