Laboratory Vacuum Systems
Design, Optimization, and Performance Strategies for Stable and Efficient Operation

Learn how optimized laboratory vacuum architecture can reduce operating costs, improve efficiency, and support more reliable lab performance based on a laboratory case study.
What is the whitepaper about?
The whitepaper shows that laboratory vacuum architecture has a direct impact on process reliability, operational efficiency, and working conditions. It shows that vacuum systems are not just supporting components, but a strategic factor in laboratory performance.
It covers:
typical laboratory vacuum applications
common problems caused by non-optimized vacuum setups
the role of pump selection and backing pressure
intelligent pump control for lower energy use and reduced wear
centralized and semi-centralized vacuum concepts
a practical case study, together with our customer Eurofins Umwelt West GmbH, where several oil-lubricated backing pumps were replaced by a centralized dry scroll pump setup to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
Who should read it?
The whitepaper is written for people who plan, operate, or optimize laboratory vacuum systems. It is especially useful for readers who want to improve reliability, reduce operating costs, and create better working conditions in the lab.
This whitepaper is most relevant for:
Laboratory managers
Operators of analytical instruments such as GC-MS, LC-MS, ICP-MS, SEM, TEM, XPS, or SIMS
Facility and operations managers responsible for lab infrastructure
Engineers and technical decision-makers designing or optimizing vacuum systems
Sustainability and cost-efficiency stakeholders interested in reducing energy use, maintenance, and contamination risks
