Product news

The VACUUBRAND®VACUU•LAN® Mini-Network provides distribution of vacuum from a single diaphragm vacuum pump (not included) to three vacuum ports with independent flow control. Integrated check valves isolate applications from each other to protect them from line fluctuations and resultant cross-contamination.

Derived from VACUUBRAND’s innovative VACUU•LAN® custom laboratory vacuum installations, the Mini-Network integrates three VCL01 flow control ports into a single bar suitable for easy installation into existing laboratories. The flow path is made from fluoropolymers and other corrosion resistant materials, making it suitable for use in most standard laboratory applications.

The Mini-Network comes with installed support rods for easy mounting on laboratory support frames or stands; alternately it can be wall mounted.Vacuum can be supplied via a quiet, oil-free VACUUBRAND® chemistry diaphragm vacuum pump, or any other suitably sized diaphragm pump.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.FiltrationFiltration and microfiltration are used to separate solids, particulates or large molecules from fluids (liquid or gases) in order to purify the filtrate. Explore a range of filter formats, including filter paper, plates and membranes for your separation needs. While larger particulates may be separated by gravity filtration, smaller particulates may require additional force for timely separation. Microfiltration equipment includes vacuum filters, as well as positive pressure, crossflow and centrifugal filtration devices. Find the best filtration products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.CentrifugesCentrifuges are used to separate particulates suspended in a liquid via the application of a centrifugal force including cells, macromolecules, nanoparticles and precipitates. Centrifuges come in three sizes: microcentrifuges, benchtop and floor-standing centrifuges, depending on the volume and number of samples that require separation. When choosing a centrifuge, consider its maximum separation power indicated by its relative centrifugal force (RCF) value. Low force centrifuges reach a maximum RCF of 8,000 g, high-force centrifuges can reach maximum RCF values of 80,000 g. For extremely high forces, consider ultracentrifuges (up to 800,000 g). Refrigerated and vacuum centrifuges also known as concentrators are available for more specialized applications. A range of volumes are available for centrifuge tubes and microfuge tubes, depending on sample sizes.
