Product news

Visitors to Achema flocked to KNF Neuberger's stand to see the new KNF N 838.18 laboratory vacuum pump and the other latest products in its line of over 50 different pumps for laboratory applications.

The N 838.18 is a small, robust pump that can pump up to 37 litres per minute and achieves an ultimate vacuum of down to 12 mbar absolute, yet is still relatively small, thanks to a unique design based on a patented structured diaphragm. As with all KNF pumps, the N 838 is engineered for laboratory use. This new pump can also be supplied with a vacuum gauge and fine-adjustment valve for specific applications.

KNF Neuberger's broad range of robust and long-lasting laboratory pumps includes products ideal for all laboratory settings and applications. The current product range covers flow rates of 5.6 to 60 litres per minute, ultimate vacuums of down to 1.5 mbar absolute, and pressures as high as 7 bar gauge.

Lab-on-a-ChipLab-on-a-chip (LOC) technology uses microfluidic chips, such as microarrays, to perform biochemical assays on a small scale. Benefits of lab-on-a-chip include the small volume of sample required as well as the speed of analysis. In selecting lab-on-a-chip devices consider the assay, cost, reliability, sensitivity and signal to noise ratio.Process ChemistryProcess chemistry is an important stage of drug development for scaling-up drug production or chemical synthesis reactions. It is useful for optimizing economical and efficient drug production. Process chemistry uses reactors and pump systems as well as reagents, standards and buffers.
