Separation, filtration, removal: The VACSTAR dry 4-chamber membrane vacuum pump is powerful, resistant to chemicals, and low-maintenance. Its stable low-pressure capability also makes it a practical option for tasks commonly found in microfluidics labs, such as PDMS degassing, microchannel bubble removal, and controlled negative-pressure operation.
General
VACSTAR digital allows users to build a flexible vacuum infrastructure, where multiple vacuum controllers can be arranged in series to match diverse workflows. For setups that benefit from a compact, integrated solution, VACSTAR control incorporates a built-in vacuum controller with a removable display. In both configurations, the available operating modes (fully automatic/manual, including evacuation and cleaning cycles) provide the pressure stability needed for small-volume systems and soft-lithography processes.
This adaptability makes the system a solid match for labs working across PDMS device fabrication, chip priming, filtration-based preparation steps, or negative-pressure–driven microfluidic experiments.
Features and Benefits
- High-performance suction: VACSTAR has an excellent suction performance, with its 22 L/min at an outstanding minimum of 2 mbar.
- Integrated vacuum controller with removable WiCo: Depending on the application, you can easily select your operating mode either by using the intuitive operator menu or by remote control.
- RPM-regulated operation: All parameters can be set up over a user-friendly display using the rotary pushbutton.
- Protects user and environment: The VACSTAR system includes a downstream vacuum safety emission condenser (VSE1). This reliably protects laboratory employees and the environment from harmful exhaust air.
