Clear Acrylic Vacuum Chamber System for Biotech Instrumentation Engineering Design

Vacuum Chambers are commonly used to perform experiments on Biotech instrumentation and chemistry; including PCR essays and bioreagents. The field of Molecular Biology Diagnostics has seen tremendous growth over the past several decades. The latest developments in Biotech are simply remarkable.

In order to continue the phenomenal research and development growth and to keep competitive in todays marketplace, you must select the most extraordinary companies such as Sanatron.

Which is the reason why our extraordinary client contacted us: the mission was to build a Vacuum System capable of performing greatly in order to help them crush it.

This is a complete Vacuum System it consists of a Clear Acrylic Vacuum Chamber, Framework Structure, a vacuum pump and several vacuum feedthroughs. The Acrylic Chamber is a 24-inch cube inside dimensions, hinges side door, front loading. It is sitting on a table structure that is specifically made from 8020 Inc components to fit this chamber and design. Below the chamber is an industrial vacuum pump that is connected through NW25 port to an NW25 Vacuum Valve. You can notice the dial vacuum gauge and an NPT valve connected to the same port plate as the NW25 vacuum valve.

The clear vacuum chamber is customized as well. On the right hand wall, it also features a digital Instrutech Vacuum Gauge capable of displaying the absolute pressure in Torr and millitorr. On the Left wall you can see an NEMA-15 electrical outlet, two ethernet ports, and one Subminiature D Vacuum Feedthrough. This system is also placed on fully lockable swivel casters which enable our client to maneuver this vacuum system into any room or facility they chose.

Force Decay Leak Testing Systems
Force Decay Leak Testing Systems are instruments that detect and quantify leaks in a test specimen through measuring the drop in force an inflated specimen applied onto a pressure transducer. The specimen is placed into a vacuum chamber, a vacuum is pulled, and the test sample inflates. As the test sample inflates, it applied a specific force onto the force transducer. This force is measured and recorded over time. If a leak exists, the specimen will deflate and lose pressure, as a result, the force it applies onto the force transducer will decrease. This in turn will enable for detection and quantification of a leak in the specimen.
BNC Vacuum Feedthroughs
Coaxial Vacuum Feedthroughs are vacuum rated BNC connectors that enable you to run BNC from outside of vacuum chamber towards inside of the vacuum chamber without disturbing the vacuum. Triaxial Vacuum Feedthroughs, just like coax vacuum feedthroughs, will enable you to run Triax Connections from outside towards the inside of the vacuum chamber without disturbing the vacuum levels inside the vacuum chamber.
Our Work: Research, Development, and Testing of Weather Balloons inside a Clear Vacuum Chamber
A wonderful company (more like one of the best companies in the world) which is currently involved with the research, development, and testing of high-altitude weather balloons, had a need for a vacuum chamber capable of achieving about 100 micro Torr (Micron) of ultimate Pressure for their testing environment. Fortunately, acrylic vacuum chambers are the perfect choice when it comes to Low, Rough, and Medium Vacuum.

An Acrylic Vacuum Chamber can be used to simulate elevation very reliably to altitudes up to 60.9 km or 200,000 feet. This provides several advantages over other testing methods as acrylic is transparent and enables full view of interior during testing. In this article, we will give you a through guide on what can be done to eliminate the risk of packaging damage during shipments at high altitudes.
