It is one of the best insulating materials: silica aerogel originally developed from space research. Its main advantages consist of high thermal insulation combined with low density. In the meantime, other industries are also benefiting from the super insulation – and thus from increased energy efficiency, fire safety and thermal protection.

The perfect match: Like Maserati and Mercedes, torrone and gingerbread, passion and precision. The two companies Deltek and VACUUBRAND complement each other perfectly.

The final step of connecting the vacuum pump to the laboratory device is about having the right connectors. This requires connecting parts such as small flanges and tubings. When selecting them, it is important to consider their functions, connection sizes and materials. Read our article for information and tips on how the right connecting parts…

They eliminate 99,9 % of the unwanted gases in procedures such as molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and focused ion beam implantation (FIB): oil-free diaphragm pumps from VACUUBRAND run continuously as fore pumps at the Ruhr University Bochum. The fore vacuum supports the generation of high and ultra-high vacuum. In this interview, we talk to Professor…

Controlling of vacuum as a process parameter has a significant effect on the process result. This is because vacuum correlates with the temperature and influences, for example, boiling points and phase transitions of substances. The role of a vacuum control system is to optimally adjust this parameter. But which one is best for your application?…

It takes years from the discovery of suitable substances to the approval of a drug. The contract research organization Assay.Works provides support in the early phases of drug development – from discovery to preclinical studies. It offers national and international clients from the pharmaceutical and biotech industries unique services such as rapid…

Clemens Todt conducts exciting basic research at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH), where he is a doctoral student in the Laboratory of Solid State Physics. The results of his Advanced Semiconductor Quantum Materials group, led by Professor Wegscheider, could optimize the properties of quantum computers in the future. In the…

Vacuum equipment comes into contact with numerous substances in the laboratory. In addition to harmless substances, these can also be aggressive, harmful chemicals or infectious biological material, for example. If the equipment is then serviced or repaired at VACUUBRAND, strict protective measures are necessary for the welfare of our service team.…
