Custom Vacuum Chamber for Biomedical Instrumentation in Molecular Biology

Have you ever had the need to run your electronics inside a vacuum environment? If the answer is yes, you have come to the right place.

Our client had the need to power several electronic items and instruments inside a vacuum environment and had a need to plug the instrumentation into a electrical wall socket and then test these while pulling a vacuum. Conversely, our client planned on performing additional liquid and gas phase experimentation which is why they needed two electrical plugs.

We built an Acrylic Vacuum Chamber with two electrical plugs on the rear wall. All our client had to do is get an extension cable from their local hardware store and plug these in from the back of the chamber. Now, they can plug in their instrumentation from the inside of the chamber, close the door, and pull a vacuum.

This is a customization to our standard acrylic vacuum chamber, front loading door, with a hinged side door. The front loading door is beneficial when the vacuum chamber is placed onto a table top. The operator can simply load and unload the chamber sitting down at their desk. Finally, instead of a dial vacuum gauge, we supplied them with a NW25 fitting for them to connect a digital vacuum gauge capable of reading vacuum in 3 significant figures.

Acrylic Vacuum Chambers
Acrylic Vacuum Chambers are, as the name implies, vacuum chambers made from the Acrylic Polymer. There are several advantages to acrylic vacuum chambers the three main ones being 1. Fully Transparent, 2. Cost Effective, and 3. Versatile and Highly Customizable.
Belt Drive Rotary Vane Vacuum Pumps
A Belt Drive Rotary Vane Pump is almost identical to a Direct Drive Rotary Vane Pump. The only difference between the two is that the belt drive Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump is driven by a belt. There are several advantages why a belt drive vacuum pump would be preferable. One of these reasons is that the belt drive Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump runs at a slower RPM therefore the temperature created is lower, the wear and tear is less, and the overall lifetime of the pump is longer. The disadvantages are a lower CFM and performance.
Our Work: Pressure and Vacuum Chamber used for Calibration of Weather Stations across the US
Have you ever wondered how the weather forecast works? You must admit; the weathermen (or weatherwoman) have become a whole lot more accurate over time. 10 years ago, the weather forecast was not as accurate as it is today. Part of the reason is that we have better forecasting technology as in more powerful computers who crunch numbers faster to out a most likely scenario. Another reason is that mathematics, physics, and science has progressed. The main reason however, is that we have better tools and equipment.

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.
