Keeping your vacuum pump happy all comes down to regular maintenance.

Problem: Vacuum pumps are laboratory workhorses, providing the conditions needed to run many lab applications. Unfortunately, pumps are also exposed to acid or organic chemical vapors that can cause some real maintenance issues. Particularly with oil-sealed, rotary vane pumps, the exposure of the oil to the chemical vapors can cause the oil to become corrosive, or to break down and no longer serve its vital lubricating function. Regular oil changes are needed to protect the pump.

Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum, one of the leading global manufacturers of vacuum pumps and systems, signed a contract with a distributor for the Commonwealth of Independent States CIS region. This contract will be the basis for a strategic partnership with Vacuummash, the leading vacuum pump and -systems suppliers in Russia and will facilitate the access to the CIS States.

With an instrument focused on removing matter from a space, the vacuum-pump industry sure creates a lot of “matter,” in terms of different devices. Vacuum pumps come in so many varieties that, well, it’s a regular vacuum-pump jungle out there.

Cell Culture and other laboratories that isolate and work with cells require the tools to safely and effectively remove wash and culture media away without harming their cells, and maintaining a safe laboratory environment. The new BVC fluid aspirators are third-generation systems that provide fine control, while providing the highest level of safety.

Vacuum pumps are an essential piece of equipment and are used in a wide variety of processes in most laboratories. Over the past 25 years, vendors have made significant innovative improvements to vacuum pumps, with important developments in high vacuum technology, corrosion resistance, vacuum control, and improvements in the efficiency and ecological impact of vacuum pumps.

VACUUBRAND’s BVC integrated aspiration station is a safe, convenient system with a small footprint and the power to support two users.

Readily available for integration into a wide range of liquid and gas diaphragm pumps for OEM applications.

Scientists started using true vacuum pumps more than 350 years ago, and investigators used suction pumps for more than 400 years before that. Consequently, removing gas to create a vacuum is not new in science. Nonetheless, the way of removing that gas keeps changing.

Oil-free vacuum pumps can offer significant scientific and economic advantages over oil-sealed rotary vane pumps for most lab applications.
