Agilent Technologies presents the new TwisTorr molecular drag technology. Our new and innovative molecular drag stages, composed of a specific array of pumping channels with spiral design, greatly increase the pumping efficiency in a very compact space. This technology represents a next step in the evolution of hybrid turbo high vacuum pumps, providing significant improvements in pumping performance. The Turbo-V TwisTorr series represents a new category of Turbo Molecular Pumps offering unmatched performance in both pumping speed and compression ratio in the most compact space available. The innovative TwisTorr stages allow reaching the highest levels of compression ratio for light gases in commercially available Turbo Molecular Pumps. Using the patented TwisTorr molecular drag technology, Agilent has developed the Turbo-V 750 TwisTorr, the Turbo-V 850 TwisTorr and the Turbo-V 2300 TwisTorr.
