Hosted in Apex, North Carolina on Saturday, June 8th, 2019 at Hope Community church, Ecodyst was beyond elated to Sponsor the 1st annual Young Women In STEM conference.
APEX, N.C. – August 30, 2018 /Canna Newswire/ – Ecodyst® (www.ecodyst.com), announced that its innovative industrial scale, tankless evaporator the EcoChyll X7 is now NRTL (Nationally Approved Testing Laboratories) listed. NRTLs are independent laboratories that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recognizes to test products to make sure that they meet standard safety requirements. Customers that require OSHA approved equipment now have that option with the EcoChyll X7 solvent recovery systems.
APEX – Ecodyst, a startup launched in 2014 with the mission of making chemistry labs safer and less expensive to operate, is getting a chance to showcase its technology to investors from Startup Grind.
The global entrepreneurial organization, which has a growing presence in the Triangle, picked Ecodyst as one of 50 companies to participate in Startup Grind Global 2018. The vent is set for Feb. 12-14 in Redwood City, Calif.

Ecodyst® instruments do not require water or anti-freeze for cooling. With our rotary evaporators, researchers do not need to use tap water for cooling. There is no need to flush precious water down the drain and no need to be concerned with water bills anymore.
This innovative, self-cooling technology is sustainable.
Press Release – August 28, 2017
A few days ago, within a span of 10 minutes a competitor posted 15 malicious comments about EcoChyll® X7 on our Instagram pages. You know you’re doing something right when a leading lab equipment manufacturer starts posting negative messages about your revolutionary and disruptive products. The competitor then informed us through text messages about their intention to discourage customers from purchasing our products and further threatened to tell everyone that our products are not good.
The Council for Entrepreneurial Development (CED), the largest and longest-running network for entrepreneurs in the country, today announced that over 50 of the region’s most innovative, disruptive entrepreneurial companies have been selected to be featured at the CED Life Science Conference 2017, to be held February 28-March 1 in Raleigh, NC.
Ecodyst has been selected as one of the Eleven Finalists for the NC IDEA Foundation Seed Grant, below is a press release by NC IDEA Foundation announcing the finalists.
CARY, N.C. — Ecodyst has been making news lately, having been selected to advance to the semi-finals of the NC IDEA grant application process and receiving the 2016 American Chemical Society Southeastern Regional Industrial Innovation Award. The following is a Q&A with George Adjabeng, who co-founded the company in 2014.
Ecodyst has been selected to advance to the semi-finals of the NC IDEA Grant application. This brings us much pleasure because out of the hundreds of companies that applied, we were part of the selected few. An excerpt from the email sent to notify us of our semi-finalist status can be seen below:

Ecodyst is speeding the path to discovery.
CARY, N.C. — One of the “coolest” companies presenting at CED Tech Venture is Ecodyst, a two-year-old Cary startup with patented self-cooling technology that it says is “disruptive.”
Ecodyst has been selected to present in this year’s CED Venture Conference as a Lightning Round presenter on the main stage. With over 115 worldwide applicants from a very competitive pool, the Steering Committee, Ecodyts, submission was deemed among the best!
New this year for the themed #TheNext event is a “lightning round” during which 13 startups have the opportunity to make brief pitches to investors.
The CED says it added the feature due in part to a record number of applications from across the state.
Problem:
Rotary evaporators (“rotavaps”) have for decades been staples in labs and industries performing chemistry, including labs in the chemical, environmental, materials, life science, and forensics industries. Key applications include sample concentration, solvent recycling, extractions, and separation of solvent mixtures. Rotavaps consist of a heating fluid bath, rotating motor, evaporating flask, condenser, collection flask, and vacuum source. Solvent distills from the sample under the combined effects of heat and vacuum, and collects in the collection flask after condensation by the condenser.1
George Adjabeng was born in Ghana and lives in the United States. But, he still considers Brock University his home. While he completed his Master’s in Chemistry at Brock, Adjabeng says he learned effective researching and the value of collaboration.
“The education I received at Brock really prepared me for what I’ve been able to accomplish,” he says. “It gave me the ability to be innovative and creative.”
Rotary evaporators, which chemists fondly refer to as rotovaps, are used to swirl a sample in a round-bottom flask like a wine connoisseur swirls an expensive glass of Bordeaux. But instead of trying to draw out the bouquet and taste as a connoisseur would for wine, chemists use rotovaps to remove solvents from a completed organic reaction, leaving the desired product behind.
Commercialized in 1957 by the Swiss company Büchi, the vacuum-assisted devices turn sample flasks in heated baths to draw out solvent vapors through a series of tubes. The condensed solvents can be disposed of or reused, and the samples left behind go on for further analysis.
Ecodyst® is the innovative leader and creator of the next generation of rotary evaporators used by chemists and researchers in laboratories and commercial settings.
