A speed-controlled, 2-cylinder vacuum pump for universal use in dry and oil-free vacuum applications. With chemically resistant membranes and a max vacuum of 9 mbar, this pump provides stable, reproducible negative pressure ideal for PDMS degassing, chip priming, and pressure-driven flow control.
General
While broadly applicable across the laboratory, the pump’s smooth, controllable vacuum output makes it a practical choice for microfluidics labs. Its stable vacuum profile helps speed PDMS degassing while minimising boil-over, and its compatibility with standard vacuum and pressure controllers allows clean integration into negative-pressure or hybrid pressure, vacuum flow systems. The robust design ensures long-term reliability with minimal maintenance, making it an ideal peripheral device for standard laboratory processes.
Features & Benefits
- Compact and thin design: Thanks to its small footprint, VACSTAR lite can be conveniently placed behind other lab equipment, saving valuable bench space while remaining easily accessible.
- Integrated device communication: The pump enables seamless communication between devices such as vacuum controllers and circulators, ensuring synchronized laboratory processes. This feature optimizes process control and increases overall system performance.
- Longer system life: In combination with the VC 10 lite vacuum controller, the system has an integrated valve cleaning function that removes solvent residues and thus extends the life of the vacuum system. Regular ventilation prevents the build-up of contamination and reduces maintenance costs.
