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.…

Determining the age of rocks and minerals: For decades, a diaphragm pump from VACUUBRAND has been reliably performing its service in the Department of Isotope Geology at the Georg August University in Göttingen. There, it supports the radiometric K-Ar method for dating geological processes. In this interview, we talk to Dr. Klaus Wemmer, head of…

VACUUBRAND has been operating an official calibration laboratory for vacuum technology since 1997. It is one of only a few laboratories in Germany to be recognized by the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS). This year our colleagues celebrate the 25th anniversary of our calibration laboratory. We talk to laboratory manager Dr. Jürgen Breitenbach and…

Which and how many halogenated hydrocarbons occur in different layers of the atmosphere? The Experimental Atmospheric Research group at Goethe University Frankfurt is investigating questions like these. Researchers measure air samples from ground stations, airplanes and balloons. The VACUU·PURE® 10 screw pump supports two mass spectrometers in…

Products from VACUUBRAND are in use all over the world. Customers of Scitek Australia have been using our diaphragm pumps, complete pumping units and vacuum networks for many years – and now are also trying out the new screw pump. Managing Director Tobias Schappeler visited us in Germany. In an interview with Carsten Ruth, Sales Director of…

As of today, you can experience our new corporate identity – the culmination of feedback from our customers, partners and employees. The focus is on our brand promise: Our innovative vacuum technology enables our customers to run reliable, safe and efficient processes.
