These are very versatile, able to dry single gels up to 50 x 40cm in size or multiple small format gels. The units have two
timers; one for the temperature and one for the vacuum pump.
The drying temperature can be set between ambient and 90°C and regulated to ±2°C, and the drying time set up to 5 hours
in 1 minute steps. The vacuum pump can also be timed to automatically switch off any time up to 5 hours in 1 minute steps.
These units are extremely robust in their construction. The base is of cast aluminium for even distribution of heat. The user friendly
control panel is constructed from stainless steel for strength. Although solidly built, the units are extremely light for easy transportation.

The Vacuum Pump uses 3 piston technology to create a uniquely quiet and vibration-free pump. This means that it is particularly
suited for continuous running in a lab environment. The strength of the vacuum is clearly displayed on a dial and can be controlled at any
time to prevent possible damage to fragile materials.
The pump is contained within an easy to clean stainless steel casing and is fitted with corrosion resistant PTFE seals and a hard anodised
cylinder. Contamination is kept to a minimum by a water trap and 30 micron filter which are easily changed by the user. Quick release fittings
enable the pump to be connected and disconnected quickly and easily.
The pump uses high air-flow rather than high vacuum. This is advantageous because strong vacuums can damage materials and also, because
a high air-flow pump is much more effective when there are small leaks preventing a full vacuum from being formed.
