At the Canadian Centre for Isotopic Microanalysis (CCIM), Dr. Richard Stern is dedicated to the study of rocks and minerals. He is the managing director of the state-of-the-art facility, which is part of the University of Alberta in Canada. The research is based on the analytical technique of secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). For this, the…

The Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences brings together basic research in natural sciences and medicine. Researchers are using the VACUU·PURE 10C screw pump in a new chemistry laboratory. The powerful device supplies two chemical synthesis hoods simultaneously. In this interview, Dr. Gražvydas Lukinavičius, leader of the research…

Vacuum is present in many aspects of daily life. We are all familiar with thermal jugs or shrink-wrapped food, both of which rely on the physical principle of vacuum. It’s this “nothing” that insulates and protects food quality, but not only that – vacuum is a cross-sectional technology. This means that it supports wide ranging industries and their…

Women and technology go well together: This was already addressed in one of our previous blog posts.

The whole vacuum concept…

Every year, young people embark on their training education programs at VACUUBRAND in Wertheim. Their professional training will become the cornerstone of their future careers. As a medium-sized company operating globally, taking good care of those who are at the beginning of their careers is a top priority for us. What is more, we support their…

Precise, time-saving and intuitive vacuum control already works with the VACUU·SELECT vacuum controller. VACUUBRAND now goes one step further and offers a completely new function extension: the VACUU·SELECT user management. For the first time, it is possible to individually define which applications, functions and authorizations should be available…

Screw pumps have established themselves for vacuum generation in addition to other areas of application. Their design enables the generation of deep vacuum without contaminating processes with oil or abrasion. New advanced screw pump technologies even meet additional requirements such as high chemical resistance and high condensate compatibility…

The MZ 2C vacuum pump has been around since 1982 and was the first chemistry diaphragm pump on the market for laboratory use. Since then, we have continuously improved it and further developed new products based on its unique design. To this day, the MZ 2C NT product line is a prime example of quality and durability in vacuum pumps.

The most important step at the beginning of any laboratory planning process is the needs assessment. This is when users and planners meet together in order to jointly determine the requirements for the new laboratory. One challenge is that all of these requirements are sometimes not fully discussed. This is often because users take their daily…
