Edwards RV3 Finnigan Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump, 3.7 m³/h Displacement, Oil-Sealed Design

The Edwards RV3 Finnigan is a rotary vane vacuum pump engineered for high-performance vacuum generation in scientific research, biotechnology, and industrial applications. With a displacement of 3.7 m³/h at 50 Hz and up to 4.5 m³/h at 60 Hz, it achieves an impressive ultimate pressure of 2.0 x 10⁻³ mbar (1.5 x 10⁻³ Torr), meeting rigorous requirements for molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows.

Key technical features include:

• Oil-sealed rotary vane pump design ensuring stable vacuum levels and durability critical in synthetic biology and biopharmaceutical production.
• Automatic mode selector switch for optimized operation between high vacuum and high throughput needs.
• Controlled valve opening mechanism to prevent pressure surges during startup, enhancing longevity and reliability under fluctuating lab conditions.
• Low noise operation at 48 dB(A) supports sensitive laboratory environments such as live-cell imaging and fluorescence analysis.
• Dual-frequency compatibility (50/60 Hz) with motor speeds ranging from 1500 to 1800 rpm and power consumption between 250-300 W.
• Compliance with IEC EN60320 C13 power standards and safety approvals (UL, CSA).

This vacuum pump structure has been widely adopted in molecular biology and clinical diagnostics labs, supporting essential applications such as gene editing, biomanufacturing, and neuroimaging setups. Its compact design weighing 31 kg and inlet/exhaust NW25 flange fittings enable versatile integration into complex vacuum systems for advanced biotechnological research.

Performance stability paired with a robust, oil-based sealing system makes the Edwards RV3 Finnigan pump a proven solution for maintaining precise controlled environments, vital for contemporary bioprocessing and synthetic biology protocols.
