Getting young women interested in technology: Many things are already being done to achieve this, such as dedicated women in industry days, which give young women a taste of scientific and technical careers. Nevertheless, women in STEM professions – i.e. Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths – are still under-represented, according to an…

Professor Knochel's research group in the Chemistry Department at the University of Munich has long relied on vacuum technology from VACUUBRAND. The relationship has helped both sides through the years.

There is a vacuum pump that is best-suited to the needs of every laboratory. But how do users find the right one for their diverse applications? The Vacuum Pump Selection Guide helps them to choose the perfect pump.

Laboratory processes are only successful if important process conditions, such as the required process pressure, are achieved. The most important indication for the proper function of a vacuum pump is its ability to reach its specified final pressure, or ultimate vacuum. This can be determined with a calibrated gauge to measure the pump’s ultimate…

In life science or diagnostics laboratories, users often work with infectious liquids containing viruses or bacteria. One current example is the detection methods used for the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, in which biological safety is of paramount importance. VACUUBRAND's BVC fluid aspiration systems are specially designed for such applications and…

Vacuum pumps should reliably support important processes in the background and take up as little of your time as possible for maintenance. We explain how to change diaphragms and valves using the example of the MD 1C chemistry diaphragm pump. Apart from wear parts, the diaphragm pump runs maintenance-free under normal load. All bearings are…

Vacuum enables the evaporation of material mixtures at low temperatures and short process times. This principle is used in rotary evaporation, a fast and gentle separation process for heat-sensitive substances, among others, with different boiling points.

VACUUBRAND's vacuum gauges ensure quick and easy vacuum measurement. Optimized for use in the chemical industry, they are characterized by high accuracy and long-term stability. The new DVR 3pro now offers optimal flexibility for operation in hazardous areas with a 9V battery power supply that is freely available in retail outlets.
