Tuesday, October 16, 2007, 1:40 pm, Room Exhibit Hall

Pfeiffer Vacuum, one of the world's leading producers of vacuum products and services, introduces a durable, reliable and compact vacuum system for mobile mass spectrometry. Able to run at lower power levels, Pfeiffer Vacuumsâ?T compact vacuum system integrates a turbopump and a specially designed dry diaphragm pump that allows analytical equipment to provide real time analysis in the field. This mobile vacuum systems runs on 24 volts with a power save mode when idling. The vacuum system is available with TMH 071 or TPD 011 l/s turbopumps and the MVP 006, a new diaphragm backing pump. This system can be configured to fit analytical OEM requirements. Pfeiffer Vacuumsâ?T TMH 071 turbopump is a 70 l/s, hybrid magnetic design with excellent specifications and highest reliability for mass spectrometry. This pump is currently integrated into dozens of mass spectrometers with thousands sold each year. The TPD 011 turbopump is designed with a unique dual end supported bearing making it the most rugged and smallest commercially available turbopump in the world. The TPD 011 makes possible the design of several portable mass spectrometers that could not have been built with any other pump. The MVP 006 dry diaphragm backing pump is ideal for small mass spectrometry systems because smart electronics communicate with the turbo directly automatically speeding the pump up and down based on demand. This feature optimizes power consumption, vibration, and diaphragm life. In addition, only one power supply is needed for both pumps, and the 24 VDC input simplifies electronic requirements.
