Pumps

<h2>What are laboratory vacuum pumps?</h2>
&nbsp;
Laboratory vacuum pumps are instruments that remove gas from a connected vessel or system to create sub-atmospheric pressure for applications including rotary evaporation of solvents, vacuum filtration through B&uuml;chner funnels and membranes, SpeedVac centrifugal concentration, gel drying, lyophilization rough vacuum, and degassing of solvents and solutions. MBP carries vacuum pumps from Vacuubrand, Welch, and ULVAC, which together cover the full range of laboratory vacuum needs from moderate filtration vacuum to deep vacuum for turbomolecular backing, available in oil-free diaphragm and oil-sealed rotary vane configurations.

<h2>How to choose between vacuum pump brands and types</h2>
&nbsp;
Choose Vacuubrand for premium PTFE diaphragm and chemistry vacuum systems
Vacuubrand diaphragm pumps are known for their high-quality PTFE-wetted construction, precise chemistry vacuum control systems with automatic set-point regulation, and a broad range of configurations from single-stage to two-stage models, making them the preferred brand for demanding rotary evaporation and concentration applications where reproducible vacuum control is important.
Choose Welch for reliable, cost-effective diaphragm and corrosion-resistant vacuum
Welch (by Gardner Denver) diaphragm pumps offer solid performance for routine filtration and moderate vacuum applications at a competitive price point, with the Dryfast ULTRA series as their flagship oil-free, chemically resistant product line covering most common laboratory vacuum needs.
Choose ULVAC for applications requiring deeper vacuum
ULVAC rotary vane oil-sealed pumps achieve deeper ultimate vacuum levels than oil-free diaphragm pumps, making them appropriate for applications like thin-film deposition, high-vacuum instruments, manifold vacuum systems, or backing turbomolecular pumps, where vacuum levels below 1 mbar are required.
Check the accessories catalog for vacuum tubing, traps, and gauges
Accessories include cold traps and chemical traps to protect pumps from solvent and corrosive vapors, vacuum tubing (rubber, silicone, or PTFE), and vacuum gauges and controllers for monitoring and regulating applied vacuum.
Match ultimate vacuum and pumping speed to your application requirements
Ultimate vacuum determines the lowest pressure achievable, while pumping speed determines how quickly the system reaches and maintains that vacuum. Both must be matched to system volume and gas load from evaporation, filtration, or outgassing.
&nbsp;
<h2>Specifications context</h2>
&nbsp;
The choice between oil-free diaphragm and oil-sealed rotary vane pumps is primarily determined by required ultimate vacuum and chemical exposure. Diaphragm pumps provide oil-free, low-maintenance vacuum suitable for most chemistry and biology applications above ~1&ndash;5 mbar, while rotary vane pumps achieve deeper vacuum but require oil changes and carry contamination risk.
As of 2026, oil-free diaphragm pumps from Vacuubrand and Welch cover most standard molecular biology and chemistry vacuum applications, while ULVAC rotary vane and dry pumps serve specialized deep-vacuum requirements.

Peristaltic Pump

<h2>What is a peristaltic pump?</h2>
&nbsp;
A peristaltic pump moves fluid by squeezing a flexible tube between a rotating rotor with rollers or shoes and a curved backing surface, creating a progressing zone of compression that pushes fluid along the tube in the direction of roller travel. Because the fluid contacts only the inside of the tubing and never the pump mechanism itself, the pump mechanism remains completely uncontaminated between runs, and changing fluids requires only replacing or flushing the tubing without disassembling or cleaning the pump head. Flow rate is controlled by adjusting rotor speed, and the pump can run forward or in reverse for dispensing or withdrawal.

&nbsp;
<a href="https://mbpinc.net/ai-sst-digital-peristaltic-pump-series"></a>Ai SST Digital Peristaltic Pump Series &ndash; Digital control pump for precise and programmable fluid flow
Ai Analog Peristaltic Pump Series (PM) &ndash; Simple control pump for stable and adjustable flow operation
&nbsp;
<h2>How to choose a peristaltic pump</h2>
&nbsp;
Select flow rate range based on your application's volume and timing requirements
Peristaltic pumps are available from micro-flow models running at nanoliters to microliters per minute for precision analytical or microfluidic applications, through standard laboratory models covering 0.001 mL/min to several liters per minute for chromatography and media exchange, to large-diameter industrial models for high-volume transfer. Match the pump's flow rate range to your typical and maximum required flow rates.
Choose the tubing material compatible with your specific fluid
Peristaltic pump tubing contacts the fluid directly and must be chemically compatible: silicone suits most aqueous buffers and media; Tygon and norprene resist many organic solvents; Viton resists strong solvents and concentrated acids; PTFE provides the broadest resistance. Confirming tubing compatibility before use prevents fluid contamination and tubing degradation.
Confirm the tubing inside diameter determines flow rate at a given RPM
For a given pump head and RPM, the volume delivered per revolution is determined by the tubing inside diameter &mdash; larger ID tubing delivers more volume per revolution. When replacing tubing, using the same ID as originally specified maintains the same flow rate calibration; changing to a different ID requires recalibration of flow rate against RPM.
Consider multi-channel pump heads for parallel fluid streams
Multi-channel peristaltic pump heads hold multiple tubes simultaneously, each driven by the same rotor, enabling equal-flow parallel delivery of multiple fluids without requiring multiple pumps.
Verify whether the pump speed control is manual or digital for your precision needs
Simple peristaltic pumps have manual speed control via a dial, while more advanced models offer digital speed control with LCD display, RS232 or USB communication for computer control, and programmable flow rate profiles for automated processes. The required precision and automation level of the application determines which control type is appropriate.
&nbsp;
<h2>Specifications context</h2>
&nbsp;
Peristaltic pumps produce pulsatile flow due to sequential roller compression rather than truly continuous flow, with pulsation degree depending on roller number, rotor speed, and tubing compliance. Multi-roller heads reduce pulsation at the cost of higher tubing wear, and pulse dampeners can be added downstream for sensitive detectors. As of 2026, four-or-more-roller pump heads are standard for chromatography applications where pulsation affects detector baseline stability.

<h2>How to choose an Edwards vacuum pump</h2>
&nbsp;
Choose the RV series for oil-sealed single-stage deep roughing vacuum
The Edwards RV series (RV3, RV5, RV8, RV12) are single-stage oil-sealed rotary vane pumps achieving ultimate vacuum levels of approximately 0.001&ndash;0.005 mbar with pumping speeds from 3 to 12 m&sup3;/h, covering the roughing vacuum requirements of most analytical instruments from small benchtop mass spectrometers to larger research instruments.
Choose the E2M series for two-stage deep vacuum and higher throughput
The Edwards E2M series provides two-stage oil-sealed rotary vane pumping with deeper ultimate vacuum than single-stage models, reaching approximately 0.00015 mbar, and higher pumping speeds for larger instruments or applications requiring faster pump-down times.
Choose the nXDS dry scroll pump for oil-free analytical instrument backing
The Edwards nXDS series (nXDS-6i, nXDS-10i, nXDS-15i) are dry scroll pumps providing oil-free roughing vacuum to approximately 0.07 mbar ultimate vacuum, positioned as oil-free alternatives to the RV series for analytical instruments where oil contamination risk must be eliminated, similar in function to the Agilent IDP series.
Confirm Edwards pump compatibility with your instrument's specifications
Many analytical instrument manufacturers specify Edwards pump models by series and model number in their installation guides, and using the specified model ensures compatibility with the instrument's vacuum system connections, flow requirements, and expected pump-down time. Using a pump of insufficient pumping speed can prevent an instrument from reaching operating vacuum within the expected time.
Plan for oil maintenance requirements of oil-sealed RV and E2M models
RV and E2M series pumps require regular oil changes using Edwards-specified Ultragrade pump oil, with oil condition monitoring recommended and oil change intervals dependent on the application's chemical exposure and operating cycle. A cold trap upstream prevents solvent vapor from contaminating the oil and shortening oil life.
&nbsp;
<h2>Specifications context</h2>
&nbsp;
Edwards RV series rotary vane pumps achieve their deep ultimate vacuum using a two-gas-ballast system that can be opened to purge condensable vapors from the oil during pump operation, reducing the rate of oil contamination when operating in humid environments or when small amounts of condensable vapors are present. As of 2026, Edwards RV and nXDS pumps remain among the most widely specified roughing pump series for analytical instrument installations, with the nXDS gaining adoption as an oil-free alternative to the RV for new installations where oil-free operation is preferred.
