What are Agilent vacuum pumps?

Agilent Technologies vacuum pump portfolio originates from Varian Vacuum Products and includes dry scroll pumps (IDP series) and oil-sealed rotary vane pumps. The IDP series provides oil-free vacuum for analytical instruments, while rotary vane pumps provide higher-throughput roughing vacuum where oil use is acceptable.

What you will find:

Agilent IDP-7 5.4 cfm Oil-Free Compact Dry Scroll Pump – Compact oil-free pump for laboratory vacuum applications

Agilent IDP-3 2.1 cfm Oil-Free Compact Dry Scroll Pump - 110V – Small footprint pump for clean vacuum operation

Agilent IDP-15 9 cfm Oil-Free Compact Dry Scroll Pump – High-capacity dry scroll pump for demanding workflows

Agilent TwisTorr 74 FS Turbo Pump Package – Turbo pumping system for high-vacuum applications

How to choose an Agilent vacuum pump

Choose IDP dry scroll pumps for oil-free instrument backing

The Agilent IDP series (IDP-3, IDP-7, IDP-15) provides oil-free dry scroll vacuum for backing turbomolecular pumps in mass spectrometers, electron microscopes, and other analytical instruments.

Match model to pumping speed

IDP model numbers correspond to pumping speed: IDP-3 for small instruments, IDP-7 for general use, and IDP-15 for higher gas load applications.

Use rotary vane pumps for higher throughput

Varian SD and DS rotary vane pumps provide oil-sealed roughing vacuum with higher throughput than dry scroll pumps at similar cost.

Check instrument compatibility

Many analytical instruments specify approved vacuum pump models. Agilent IDP pumps are commonly listed for LC-MS and GC-MS systems, so compatibility should be confirmed before selection.

Consider maintenance requirements

IDP scroll pumps use replaceable tip seal kits with service intervals typically between 6000–15,000 hours depending on operating conditions.

Specifications context

Agilent IDP dry scroll pumps use two interlocking scrolls — one fixed and one orbiting — to compress gas without oil, producing clean vacuum suitable for contamination-sensitive analytical instruments.

As of 2026, IDP-7 and IDP-15 remain widely used as standard roughing pumps for analytical platforms such as mass spectrometry systems.

FAQ

The Agilent IDP (Integrated Dry Pump) is a dry scroll pump that compresses gas using two interlocking spiral scrolls without oil lubrication, producing oil-free vacuum at approximately 10 mbar ultimate vacuum. An oil-sealed rotary vane pump achieves deeper ultimate vacuum and higher pumping speed but uses oil that requires regular changes and can contaminate the vacuum system if it back-streams, while the IDP avoids these issues at the cost of somewhat lower ultimate vacuum.

Analytical instruments like mass spectrometers use turbomolecular pumps to achieve the very high vacuum needed for ion optics, and turbomolecular pumps require a roughing pump to provide the rough vacuum they exhaust into. Oil-free IDP pumps are preferred over oil-sealed pumps for this role because oil back-streaming from an oil-sealed pump can contaminate the turbomolecular pump bearings and the instrument's vacuum system, while the IDP produces oil-free exhaust.

The number in the IDP model name refers to the nominal pumping speed in cubic feet per minute at atmospheric pressure, with the IDP-3 pumping 3 CFM, the IDP-7 pumping 7 CFM, and the IDP-15 pumping 15 CFM. Most analytical instrument applications specify the IDP-7 as the standard choice, while the IDP-3 suits smaller instruments and the IDP-15 is appropriate for instruments with higher gas loads or faster pump-down requirements.

Agilent IDP pumps require tip seal replacement at service intervals of approximately 6000 to 15,000 hours depending on the model and operating environment, with the tip seals being the primary wear component in the dry scroll design. Agilent provides field-installable maintenance kits including replacement tip seals and other wear parts, and the service can be performed by the laboratory without requiring factory service.

In many cases an Agilent IDP pump can be used as an oil-free replacement for an oil-sealed roughing pump on an existing analytical instrument, provided the pumping speed is adequate for the instrument's roughing vacuum requirement and the fitting connections are compatible. Checking the instrument manufacturer's list of approved replacement pumps before substituting an IDP for the original oil-sealed pump is recommended to confirm compatibility.

Agilent IDP dry scroll pumps achieve an ultimate vacuum of approximately 10 mbar at zero flow, which provides the rough vacuum needed by turbomolecular pumps to take over evacuation to the high-vacuum range. This ultimate vacuum is shallower than what oil-sealed rotary vane pumps achieve (typically 0.01–0.1 mbar), but is sufficient for turbomolecular pump inlet conditions and most analytical instrument roughing requirements.

The Agilent IDP is an oil-free dry scroll pump achieving approximately 10 mbar ultimate vacuum without oil, suited to analytical instrument backing where oil contamination must be avoided, while Varian rotary vane pumps are oil-sealed, achieving deeper ultimate vacuum of approximately 0.01 mbar with higher pumping speeds but requiring oil changes and carrying contamination risk. The choice depends on whether oil-free operation is required versus higher pumping speed or deeper vacuum.
