Elveflow Vacuum Pump / Vacuum Generator
The Elveflow Vacuum Pump is an oil-free, anticorrosive, high-efficiency vacuum generator delivering -980 mbar at 18 L/min for microfluidic flow control. Designed as the high-throughput vacuum companion to the OB1 pressure controller, it provides robust, long-lifespan negative pressure for the most demanding microfluidic workflows at just 42 dB.

What is the Elveflow Vacuum Pump?
The Elveflow Vacuum Pump is the high-throughput vacuum generator selected for use with the OB1 pressure controller. It is a totally oil-free, low-noise, high-efficiency unit with an anticorrosive coating on the receiver for long lifespan and reliable performance in demanding microfluidic setups.
With -980 mbar relative vacuum and 18 L/min pumping speed, it delivers the strongest, fastest vacuum response in Elveflow's accessory range — ideal when the light Vacuum Source is insufficient.
Key Features
- High vacuum capacity: -980 mbar (-15 psi) relative, 20 mbar absolute.
- High throughput: 18 L/min pumping speed.
- Long lifespan: Anticorrosive coating on the receiver, totally oil-free.
- Low noise & vibration: Less than 42 dB.
- Two voltage versions: 230 V/50 Hz or 110 V/60 Hz.
Applications
The Elveflow Vacuum Pump is the right vacuum source whenever maximum capacity matters. Common applications include:
- OB1 vacuum-capable channels (-900/1000 mbar and -900/6000 mbar) requiring sustained high-vacuum delivery.
- High-throughput cell aspiration and perfusion workflows.
- Demanding microfluidic platforms with multiple parallel vacuum lines.
- OEM and industrial microfluidic platforms needing long-lifespan, robust vacuum.
