Pumps and valves
Leybold has launched two compact rotary vane pumps – the SOGEVAC SV55 BI² and SV70 BI² – designed specifically for LC-MS and GC-MS workflows. These oil-sealed pumps offer high pumping speed, quiet operation, and maintenance intervals of up to 24,000 hours.
Equipped with an integrated frequency converter, the pumps adapt easily to changing process demands, while cutting energy consumption by up to 38%. Real-time monitoring of power use and temperature helps optimise lab performance and reduce CO₂ emissions.
A redesigned permanent magnet motor and compact oil casing halve both weight and footprint, making installation easier and safer. Eco-conscious packaging with a hinged ramp and shock indicators improves handling and transport.
For chromatography labs seeking reliable, energy-efficient vacuum performance, the SOGEVAC BI² series offers a smart, sustainable solution.
