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.

The advantages are obvious: not only does it increase quality and productivity, but it also lowers costs and saves time. More and more users want to take advantage of these benefits. In order to automate processes in the laboratory, such as distillation, it is often…

Why is the calibration of vacuum gauges important? And is it sufficient to calibrate in-house yourself? Quality management or test equipment monitoring demand that vacuum gauges also be verifiably traceable to national standards. To meet this challenge, we at VACUUBRAND have been operating a calibration laboratory accredited by the German National…

In this interview, Dr. Niels Weidmann reveals his experiences with the innovative VACUU·PURE® vacuum pump. He was among the first users to test the new vacuum technology in everyday laboratory use. As a former PhD student, Weidmann was conducting research in organometallic chemistry under the guidance of Prof. Knochel at the Ludwig Maximilian…

On the Baltic Sea island of Fehmarn, one of the world's leading kiteboard manufacturers produces durable boards for the whole world. CORE Kiteboarding GmbH uses a special laminating process to produce boards that can hold up to the hard impact from repeatedly hitting the water. With the help of vacuum technology from VACUUBRAND, the production…
