Elveflow Vacuum Source – Light Vacuum Source
The Elveflow Vacuum Source is a compact, oil-free 850 mbar light vacuum generator weighing just 1.4 kg, designed as a quiet (<54 dB) plug-and-play companion to OB1 vacuum-capable channels (-900/1000 mbar and -900/6000 mbar). Integrated 250 mL tank and 6 mm push-in connection make it ideal for labs without a building-wide vacuum line.
What is the Elveflow Vacuum Source?
The Elveflow Vacuum Source is a compact, oil-free vacuum generator designed for easy integration into any microfluidic bench. With a 250 mL integrated tank and steady -850 mbar output, it is the ideal companion product for OB1 -900/1000 mbar and -900/6000 mbar vacuum-capable pressure channels — a lighter, quieter alternative to the full Vacuum Pump for setups that don't need maximum vacuum capacity.
Key Features
- Compact & light: Just 1.4 kg and 14 × 18 × 14 cm — the most portable vacuum source in Elveflow's range.
- Quiet operation: Less than 54 dB, suitable for shared lab environments.
- Plug & play: Includes PSU and 2 m of 6 mm OD pneumatic tubing in the box.
- Oil-free: Clean vacuum generation with no contamination risk.
- Integrated 250 mL tank: Stable vacuum delivery.
- Standard pneumatic connection: 6 mm push-in for drop-in compatibility with OB1.
Applications
The Elveflow Vacuum Source is the natural vacuum supply for OB1 vacuum channels in lighter setups. Common applications include:
- Standalone microfluidic benches without lab vacuum infrastructure.
- Field or satellite labs requiring a small, portable vacuum source.
- Cell perfusion and aspiration workflows with negative-pressure control.
- Droplet generation and emulsion experiments with vacuum-assisted withdrawal.
- Quiet lab environments where the full Vacuum Pump would be too loud.

What is the Elveflow Vacuum Source and what is it used for?
The Elveflow Vacuum Source is a compact 1.4 kg, -850 mbar light vacuum generator with a 250 mL integrated tank, designed as a quiet (<54 dB) plug-and-play companion product for OB1 vacuum-capable channels (-900/1000 mbar and -900/6000 mbar) — a lighter, quieter alternative to the full Vacuum Pump.
What research applications is the Elveflow Vacuum Source suited for?
The Elveflow Vacuum Source is suited for standalone microfluidic benches without lab vacuum infrastructure, field or satellite labs requiring portability, quiet lab environments, cell aspiration and perfusion workflows with negative-pressure control, and droplet generation experiments with vacuum-assisted withdrawal.
What are the key technical features of the Elveflow Vacuum Source?
The Elveflow Vacuum Source (catalog: VACUUM-SOURCE) delivers -850 mbar relative vacuum with 8 L/min pumping speed, a 250 mL integrated oil-free tank, and a standard 6 mm push-in pneumatic connector. It runs on 24 V DC (100-240 VAC PSU included), weighs 1.4 kg, and operates at less than 54 dB.
Is the Elveflow Vacuum Source available in Israel with local support?
Yes. NBT Ltd distributes Elveflow microfluidic products in Israel. Our team provides local support and application guidance for the Elveflow Vacuum Source and the complete Elveflow microfluidic automation ecosystem.
How does the Elveflow Vacuum Source integrate with Elveflow systems?
The Vacuum Source connects directly to the vacuum supply port of the OB1 pressure controller via its 6 mm push-in connector. Its -850 mbar steady output is matched to OB1 -900/1000 mbar and -900/6000 mbar vacuum channels. For higher-vacuum or higher-throughput workflows, use the full Vacuum Pump (Vacuum Generator) instead.
