For scientists performing spectral characterization, thermodynamic studies, and quantitative measurements for advanced bio- and materials research, who need confidence in the accuracy and reproducibility of their measurements and rely on the results. The V-700 series UV-Visible/NIR spectrophotometers provides an excellent optical system with wide wavelength range for a diverse array of applications. The V-700 series comprises five distinct models covering the entire spectrum from the far-UV (187 nm) to the NIR (3200 nm). The compact optical design of the V-700 series UV-Visible/NIR spectrophotometers significantly reduces the requirement for bench space in the modern laboratory.

Vacuubrand manufactures a comprehensive range of laboratory and instrumentation vacuum pumps, gauges and controllers for both coarse and fine vacuums. Vacuubrand’s first priority is to offer sophisticated equipment which meets the highest quality, professional standards expected of a modern laboratory. For example, ‘intelligent pumps’ make lab work more efficient, allowing chemists and technicians to focus their attention on other tasks. They engineer and produce almost all of their pump and controller components at their facility in Germany. This enables Vacuubrand to quickly respond to the wide variety of demands from different laboratories, offering tailor-made solutions, and also ensures a consistent approach to the quality of their design and manufacturing processes. Vacuubrand relies on a range of cutting-edge technology and machine tools to produce a large selection of products, including rotary vanes, diaphragm pumping units, chemistry vacuum systems, vacuum gauges and controllers, as well as valves and components of the innovative VACUU-LAN local vacuum network.

IKA’s small but excellent product group of vacuum pumps is perfectly suitable for many dry and oil-free applications in the laboratory. The devices stand out due to their high suction capacity and ease of service. Their membranes are particularly chemical resistant, as well. The diaphragm vacuum pumps are suitable for many vacuum tasks in the lab such as separation, filtration or degassing. They are even suitable to construct a laboratory vacuum system in which you can switch any number of vacuum controllers in series according to the application. In addition, they perfectly complement your rotary evaporators or laboratory reactors.

Varibell® is an innovative quarter turn rotary control valve. By using high-resolution servo drives it is possible to make optimum use of the high turndown ratio of up to 1:10 000. This unique actuation system combines state-of-the-art servo motors with extremely low-backlash gearboxes for positioning accuracy of up to 1 arcmin. This makes it possible to resolve the 90° swivel movement in up to 5 400 steps. Together with a maximum speed of more than 90 °/s, this results in unrivaled control quality. Special drive solutions can also be used partly outdoors in harsh temperature conditions and in various potentially explosive areas.
