Clear Acrylic Vacuum Chamber System for Biotech Instrumentation Engineering Design

Vacuum Chambers are commonly used to perform experiments on Biotech instrumentation and chemistry; including PCR essays and bioreagents. The field of Molecular Biology Diagnostics has seen tremendous growth over the past several decades. The latest developments in Biotech are simply remarkable.

In order to continue the phenomenal research and development growth and to keep competitive in todays marketplace, you must select the most extraordinary companies such as Sanatron.

Which is the reason why our extraordinary client contacted us: the mission was to build a Vacuum System capable of performing greatly in order to help them crush it.

This is a complete Vacuum System it consists of a Clear Acrylic Vacuum Chamber, Framework Structure, a vacuum pump and several vacuum feedthroughs. The Acrylic Chamber is a 24-inch cube inside dimensions, hinges side door, front loading. It is sitting on a table structure that is specifically made from 8020 Inc components to fit this chamber and design. Below the chamber is an industrial vacuum pump that is connected through NW25 port to an NW25 Vacuum Valve. You can notice the dial vacuum gauge and an NPT valve connected to the same port plate as the NW25 vacuum valve.

The clear vacuum chamber is customized as well. On the right hand wall, it also features a digital Instrutech Vacuum Gauge capable of displaying the absolute pressure in Torr and millitorr. On the Left wall you can see an NEMA-15 electrical outlet, two ethernet ports, and one Subminiature D Vacuum Feedthrough. This system is also placed on fully lockable swivel casters which enable our client to maneuver this vacuum system into any room or facility they chose.

Vacuum Bubble Emission ASTM 3078 Leak Testing Systems
Bubble Emission (ASTM 3078) Leak Testing Systems are instruments that are used during the Quality Control process discover and locate leaks or seal integrity failures. Leaks are detected by submerging the specimen into a tank of water, applying a vacuum, and inspecting the submersed specimen for bubble emission. Our Bubble Leak Testing Systems are designed and built to conform to the ASTM D3078 protocol standard.
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: Chamber for Vacuum Extrusion System
This is a custom acrylic vacuum chamber build for a high volume manufacturer of parts which are fabricated using vacuum extrusion techniques. The challenge was to build a vacuum chamber system which mated on two perpendicular surfaces; on the bottom and on the rear of the chamber. This was accomplished by incorporating a double gasket mechanism on the bottom and incorporating a clamping mechanism on the rear.
