Key Features: Advanced Operation and Durability

1. Exceptional Vacuum Performance

• Maintains a deep vacuum of up to 1 Torr (1.33×10⁻⁴ MPa) for over 72 hours, ensuring a stable environment for delicate samples and processes.
• Ideal for applications requiring long-lasting, stable vacuum conditions.

2. Grease-Free, Airtight Seal

• Equipped with a high-quality silicone gasket for a clean, maintenance-free, and cost-effective vacuum seal—no need for messy greasing.

3. Robust, Shatterproof Construction

• Made from non-corrosive, highly transparent polycarbonate that allows users to easily monitor samples without compromising safety.
• Polycarbonate offers superior durability, being both shatterproof and resistant to chemical damage.

4. UV Protection Option

• For labs working with light-sensitive samples, the amber-colored UV-blocking model (VDC-U) prevents photo-degradation and discoloration, safeguarding materials from harmful UV exposure.

User-Friendly and Space-Saving Design

1. Versatile Three-Way Stopcock

• The integrated stopcock supports multiple operations, including effortless vacuum draw, gentle release, and inert gas exchange.
• Barbed fittings ensure secure attachment of tubing, minimizing any risk of disconnection.

2. Space Efficiency with Stackable Design

• The stackable construction saves valuable lab bench space while offering ample room for sample storage.
• The interior can hold up to four perforated polypropylene shelves, accommodating a variety of sample sizes and weights (maximum of 5 kg per shelf).

3. Easy Vacuum Monitoring

• A front-mounted vacuum gauge provides at-a-glance updates on vacuum levels, letting you monitor conditions without interrupting operations.

4. Flexible Connectivity

• Features four built-in ports for seamless integration with your vacuum system, inert gas systems, or other laboratory apparatus.

Applications

• Sample Drying: Quickly and efficiently removes moisture for analysis or preservation.
• Degassing: Ideal for removing trapped gases from samples.
• Sensitive Material Storage: Ensures controlled environments for photosensitive or hygroscopic materials.
• Chemical and Biological Research: Supports a wide range of research needs, from sample preparation to long-term storage.
