Degassing of Biotech Devices incorporating Custom Quality Products
A degassing system consists of a vacuum chamber, a vacuum pump, and vacuum pump connection hardware. Such system is used to remove entrapped gasses from a liquid. A biotech customer of ours contacted us to design, manufacture, and deliver a custom vacuum degassing system which included a custom tray, wire feedthroughs, and BNC Vacuum feedthroughs.

Due to being a cGMP facility, our customer had stringent requirements which had to follow strict FDA Guidelines. The degassing process had to be recorded, monitored, validated, and repeatable across batches. The system we provided for them was an acrylic vacuum chamber with 14 inch Inside dimensions. This was a fully assembled system – once they received this, all they had to do is plug it in, no additional assembly was necessary. The vacuum pump we provided to them was a piston pump. Although not ideal, since the maximum achievable vacuum is not as high as compared to the rotary vane vacuum pump, it was chosen due to the fact that a piston pump is an oil free pump and does not emit oil mist. Furthermore, an oil free pump will not have the risk of oil contamination thru product degassing. This was a table top chamber meaning only a vacuum pump and vacuum pump was provided.

The vacuum chamber customization included, a QTY: 3 x #14 Gauge wires, a QTY: 9 x #22 Gauge wires, QTY: 2 x BNC Coaxial Feedthrough, and a vacuum pump 0.25 inch NPT Feedthrough. Each feedthrough is fully vacuum sealed where they can be operated during full vacuum degassing operation without the loss of vacuum performance. A digital Vacuum gauge was also provided so that the degassing process can follow cGMP guidelines such as being recordable and reputable due to the fact that a digital vacuum gauge has a much higher accuracy and precision as compared to a dial vacuum gauge. If you are looking for a degassing system, please take a look at our vacuum degassing systems made by Sanatron. There are several standard systems available and we will be happy to customize these for you as per your requirements. Contact us for more information.

Vacuum Degassing Systems
Vacuum Degassing Systems enable you to remove trapped gas inside your liquids - generally, epoxies. Degassing is a vital part of any two part or more mixing process, this includes but is not limited to epoxy, pharmaceutical mixing, potting, recipe creation. A vacuum degassing system consists of a vacuum pump, connection hardware (includes filters and traps) and a vacuum chamber.
Micro-D Vacuum Feedthroughs
Micro D Vacuum Feedthroughs are Micro D connectors rated for vacuum and are generally installed on the vacuum chamber wall. You can then connect from the outside to the inside of your chamber.
Our Work: Electronic Component Testing of Satellites at High Altitudes
Electronic Components of Satellites behave differently in outer space as compared to how these behave at sea level. How do you know that your satellite will survive outer space? How do you confirm that your circuit boards will function properly at higher altitudes? There is only one way to find out, and that is to test and validate your design.

In the article we are going to cover rotary vane vacuum pumps. We will touch upon how they work, what they are used for, when to utilize a rotary vane vacuum pump, its advantages and disadvantages. Perhaps you have noticed that rotary vane vacuum pumps come in all shapes and sizes. On one website, the vacuum pump is less than a $100; on another website you see a vacuum pump quotes at $10,000. I would imagine that you immediately ask yourself what the deal here is.
