BOC Edwards GeneVac XDS 5 Scroll Pump Model A724-01-904

BOC Edwards GeneVac XDS 5 Scroll Pump Model A724-01-904

**This scroll pump is for sale AS/IS. Unit powers on and able to reach 172 Micron which is equivalent to 0.229 Mbar. Unit has slight wear from normal use. See photos for details.

Developed by BOC Edwards, with assistance from Genevac, and based on the "scroll" principle. The scroll pump takes it’s name from the design of the pump head, where a series of crescent shaped scrolls cut into an oscillating rotor are used to repeatedly compress and decompress the gas or vapour to be pumped. The scroll pump is a progressive cavity pump.

The main advantage to the scroll pump is that it is "dry" and therefore does not require any
pumping fluid or lubricant in order to operate. This in turn makes them ideal for use in harsh
chemistry environments such as high throughput chemistry and drug discovery, where corrosive or volatile solvents are frequently used. Ordinary pump designs are totally unsuitable in these labs and so Genevac designed their unique Cole principle vacuum pump for just this type of work. Whilst the Cole principle pumps have been a great success, with over 1000 in use worldwide, the inert fluid in the pumping chamber must be topped up regularly, something no longer required with the scroll pump design.

Scroll technology is not new; it has been in use in the microprocessor industry for several years, but this is the first time it has been successfully applied to a wider range of solvents in the drug discovery arena. Special materials must be used in the construction of pumps for such applications before going in to use on Genevac evaporators. The pump is available in two sizes XDS5 or XDS10.

Features

Upgrade your System
Most series 2 Genevac evaporators which were delivered with a Cole Vacuum Pump will
benefit by being upgraded with a Genevac Scroll pump. Unfortunately series 1
evaporators cannot be upgraded. For further details and price information, please
contact Genevac or your local representative.
