Vacuum pumps in service for the sake of food safety
Used at CVUA Freiburg – from rotary evaporation to distillation
Before food and feed can be tested for residues and contaminants, precise sample preparation is required. Vacuum technology plays a central role in this process – as an example from the State Institute for Chemical and Veterinary Analysis and Regulatory Control (CVUA) in Freiburg demonstrates.
At CVUA Freiburg, several chemically resistant vacuum diaphragm pumps from VACUUBRAND are used for rotary evaporation, for example:
PC 3001 VARIO select
- for vacuum down to 2 mbar
- ideal for low to high boilers
- demand-based vacuum control for automatic evaporation and short process times
PC 520 select
- for vacuum down to 7 mbar
- ideal for low boilers
- suitable for parallel operation of two applications
