Vacuum for Gel Dryers

Requirements:

  • chemical resistance
  • tolerance to condensates
  • vacuum performance independent from external parameters

 

Notices for Pumpchoosing:

Ultimate vacuum
down to 7 mbar:		 Vacuum for gels, commonly dried by water-jet vacuum, e.g. sequence gels, SDS-PAGE up to 10%
Ultimate vacuum
down to 1.5 mbar:		 For high-boiling-point solvents at low temperatures and/or gradient gels, SDS-PAGE > 10%
Ultimate vacuum
10 -1 mbar:		 For elevated demands regarding ultimate vacuum and pumping speed: oil-free Roots Pumping Unit RP for maximum pumping speed at 1 mbar and for multiple workstations. Not for continuous inlet pressures above 100 mbar.
