Choosing the Right Vacuum Pump for your Laboratory

Do you want to learn how to choose the right vacuum pump for your laboratory? For analytics, short path distillation, rotary evaporators, and more?
In this #HumpDayHack, Lab Society CEO Michael Maibach shows you how to pick the right vacuum pump for the right application, the first time.
We cover: dry/wet vacuum pumps, turbo-molecular pumps, rotary vane vacuum pumps, and more.

Probably the most informative vacuum pump video I have come across. Cheers

I agree. Most people use the wrong pump for the wrong application. I have seen people use diffusion pumps and complain they cannot achieve vac, but they use it on a "wet" application.

Excellent breakdown of different pumps and their specific use cases. Thanks for the information!

Wow I really don't have any interest in chemistry/biology but I respect those fields of science immensely and are thankful that anybody wants to work with it.. I think I understood like 10% of what was said..I have no idea of what those fancy machines are used for but turbo molecular pump sounds cool...I'm more of a physics/math/electronics/computer & mechanics guy and was looking for information on a pump for an vacuum fibre/epoxy infusion setup.. From the video it seems like the last one with oil is the one I'm after

I gotta say, ive worked in semiconductor and with our plasma etch chambers, we had vacuum pumps that could suck a baby through a straw, low enough to strike a plasma, i also worked in R&D for a medical device company making and testing negative pressure devices used for sucking would juices from every type of wound from evisceration to post op breast augmentaton but i have never been as freaking turned the fuck on thinking about negative pressure as applied to distillate, terpenes, and anything pertaining to THC. I feel ive wasted my life to this point!! Rock on buddy, you got a new sub, just keep talking that sexy talk..lol

[@Kapedani10]

Can you also use normal vacuum pum like “3cfm or biltec” for suction filtration in on flammable liquids??

"pump in a box" "Tube in the hood" He said it, he said it!!!

thank you

ROCHESTER, N.Y. - A new $319 million semiconductor facility is coming to western New York and it’s expected to create 600 jobs. British-based company Edwards Vacuum has chosen the state’s “stamp” site in Genesee County for its new 240,000-square-foot campus. The new facility will produce dry pump technology, which is a vital component to controlling the semiconductor manufacturing processes.

Thank you, I had a hunch that my rotary vacuum wasn't to be used for solvent recovery. Im going to keep researching for the best alternative, I'm afraid to blow myself up

[@dalethomasdewitt]

Huh. I thought you just get a 12vdc diaphragm pump and aspirator to finish. Two steps but with ice water what could go wrong.

[@pixellips]

@@dalethomasdewitt Trust me if you're as dumb as me a lot can go wrong with this

[@mingh9543]

Hey Mike, what would you recommend if I need to distillate phenol? The water cycle vacuum couldn't provide enough vacuum, and the oil pump or mechanical always gets jammed by the cooled phenol.

[@bigredinfinity3126]

Use a cold trap before your pump and it will catch any vapours

[@squidgaurd6927]

yes my lab toats needed a new vac

[@bparker86]

great explanation. terrible camera work😅😅😅

This guy looks and sounds like ben shapiro
