EnglishWhat Is VACUUBRAND?
Updated
VACUUBRAND is a German manufacturer of vacuum pumps, vacuum gauges, and controllers for laboratory and industrial use. Its site presents it as an expert supplier that combines advice, service, and an online shop, with products marketed as "top quality made in Germany." If you need to move, measure, or regulate vacuum in a lab or production process, this is the kind of company you would evaluate; if you only need general lab supplies, it is likely too specialized.
What VACUUBRAND offers
The product range shown on the site covers the main pieces of a vacuum setup:
- Vacuum pumps — including oil-free diaphragm pumps down to 0.3 mbar, oil-free screw pumps down to 10⁻³ mbar, and oil-sealed rotary vane pumps down to 10⁻³ mbar.
- Fluid aspiration systems — for safe aspiration of cell supernatants.
- Vacuum gauges — chemically resistant devices for rough vacuum down to 1 mbar, fine vacuum down to 10⁻³ mbar, or both ranges.
- Vacuum controllers — the VACUU·SELECT® controller is positioned for applications needing precise vacuum control and reproducible processes.
Beyond hardware, the site provides a vacuum pump selection guide and application-specific recommendations, plus a free inquiry option.
Who it is for
The site targets two broad groups: laboratories and industries. On the lab side, the application list is a useful signal of intended use cases:
| Application | What it suggests |
|---|---|
| Rotary evaporator | Solvent removal under controlled vacuum |
| Drying oven | Drying at reduced pressure |
| Filtration | Vacuum-assisted filtration |
| Concentrator | Sample concentration |
| Reactors & synthesis | Vacuum support for chemical reactions |
| Fine vacuum distillation | Distillation requiring lower pressures |
| Lyophilization (freeze drying) | Drying of sensitive materials |
| Schlenk line | Air-sensitive chemistry |
| Degassing | Removing dissolved gases |
| Fore vacuum for HV & UHV | Backing high- and ultra-high-vacuum systems |
| Coating | Vacuum processes in coating |
| Regeneration of cryo pumps | Cryopump maintenance |
| Glovebox | Controlled-atmosphere work |
If your work falls into one of these categories, the site's selection guide is designed to narrow down a pump by application and requirements.
How to choose a pump
The site's stated approach is: choose your application, specify your requirements, then get product recommendations. In practice, the key requirement to establish first is the target pressure, because that determines the pump type:
- Down to 0.3 mbar → diaphragm pumps (oil-free)
- Down to 10⁻³ mbar → screw pumps (oil-free) or rotary vane pumps (oil-sealed)
The choice between oil-free and oil-sealed then depends on your process: oil-free avoids oil contamination and maintenance of oil changes, while oil-sealed rotary vane pumps are the traditional option for fine vacuum.
Current promotion
The site shows a promotion with an 18% saving, stated as valid from September 15 until December 15, 2026. The featured products in that promotion are the PC 3001 VARIO select (2 mbar, 2 m³/h), PC 3004 VARIO select (1.5 mbar, 4.6 m³/h), and PC 3012 NT VARIO select (1.5 mbar, 14.3 m³/h) — all VARIO® chemistry diaphragm pumps. Check the site for current terms, since promotions change.
Practical next steps
- Go to the vacuum pump selection guide and enter your application and requirements.
- Compare the recommended pump types against your target pressure and whether you need oil-free operation.
- Use the free inquiry if your requirements are not covered by the standard recommendations.
- For gauges and controllers, match the measurement range to your working pressure — rough vacuum, fine vacuum, or both.
The site also publishes customer stories and tips, and notes work on digital connectivity for lab equipment using the OPC UA standard, which may matter if you plan to integrate vacuum equipment into a networked lab.
