More InformationLaboratory pump selection is rarely based on vacuum level alone. Noise, contamination, flow, duty cycle and package size can be equally important.
Oil-free pump technologies can reduce the risk of lubricant entering the pumped gas stream or laboratory environment.
Acoustic performance can be important where pumps operate directly beside users or inside bench-top instruments.
Smooth pump operation can be important around measurement equipment and sensitive analytical instruments.
Laboratory equipment often provides limited space for integrated vacuum and pressure components.
The pump must maintain the required operating vacuum at the actual process flow rather than merely achieve a strong ultimate vacuum.
Pump technology should be matched to the expected duty cycle, operating hours and required equipment life.
Thomas diaphragm technologies cover a broad range of compact vacuum and pressure applications. Final pump selection depends on the specific model and operating point.
Compact flow capability for small analytical and laboratory systems.

Common questions about Thomas laboratory vacuum pumps, compressors and pump selection for scientific and analytical equipment.
The best laboratory vacuum pump depends on required vacuum level, flow, gas compatibility, operating hours, noise and contamination requirements. Oil-free diaphragm pumps are common in many laboratory applications, but piston, linear diaphragm and rotary vane technologies may be more appropriate for other duties.
Yes. Thomas offers multiple oil-free pump technologies including diaphragm, linear diaphragm and selected piston designs for clean vacuum and pressure applications.
The Thomas diaphragm portfolio includes models capable of vacuum levels approaching approximately -990 mbar, or about 29.2 inHg. Actual performance depends on the specific pump and operating flow.
Thomas vacuum pumps can be suitable for laboratory filtration equipment where the selected pump provides the required vacuum and flow and its materials are compatible with the gases or vapours being handled.
Yes. Compact diaphragm and rotary vane technologies can be used in suitable gas-sampling and analytical applications where controlled airflow or vacuum is required.
Linear diaphragm pumps are particularly relevant where low noise and low vibration are important. Final selection should still consider required flow, pressure or vacuum and duty cycle.
An oil-free laboratory vacuum pump produces vacuum without using lubricating oil inside the pumped gas path. This can reduce the risk of oil contamination and simplifies maintenance for many laboratory applications.
Thomas offers pump technologies and configurations for vacuum and positive-pressure applications. The correct configuration depends on the required operating point and equipment design.
Thomas compact pumps are widely suited to OEM-style equipment where vacuum, pressure or gas flow must be integrated into a small instrument package. Pump selection should be based on the individual analytical application.
Start with the required operating vacuum and gas flow, then consider duty cycle, chamber or system volume, evacuation time, gas compatibility, noise, available space and electrical requirements.
Yes. Provide CompreVac with the existing pump model, required vacuum or pressure, flow, voltage, dimensions and application information. We can help identify an appropriate Thomas pump or replacement technology.
Yes. CompreVac can assist with pump selection based on vacuum, pressure, flow, duty cycle, motor voltage, noise, physical dimensions and the requirements of the laboratory or analytical equipment.
