Virtual Industries Inc SMD-VAC-HF V8400 High-Precision Vacuum Pump with 15" Hg Vacuum Capacity

The Virtual Industries Inc SMD-VAC-HF V8400 is a high-precision laboratory and industrial vacuum pump engineered to deliver vacuum pressures exceeding 15 inches of mercury (Hg). It integrates a robust motor and pump assembly optimized for handling a range of component sizes, making it essential in applications requiring precise suction control, such as molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing, and synthetic biology workflows.

Key features include:

• Precision vacuum generation exceeding 15" Hg, critical for stable suction in biotechnology and biomedical engineering tasks
• Safety grounded via a 3-wire electrical cord to ensure reliable and safe operation in laboratory environments
• Electrically conductive vacuum cups designed to prevent static discharge, supporting sensitive applications in live-cell imaging and fluorescence analysis
• Static dissipative rubber hoses and plastic nozzles that minimize electrostatic interference, maintaining equipment performance integrity
• Compact dimensions (9" x 4" x 4") and light weight (approx. 3 lbs) enabling easy integration into benchtop setups alongside delicate instrumentation

This unit, made in the United States, operates on standard 120V/60Hz power and is suitable for laboratories focused on molecular biology research, clinical diagnostics, and biomanufacturing processes. Its static dissipative features and high vacuum capacity make it widely adopted in gene editing applications and bioprocessing pipelines where contamination and charge buildup must be minimized.

Please note, the vacuum suction pen accessory is not included. Despite being a used unit in very good condition, it remains fully functional and reliable for demanding lab and industrial vacuum applications.
