Maglev turbomolecular pumps for industry and research
Edwards Vacuum has introduced a new series of magnetically levitated turbomolecular pumps designed to meet the demands of both challenging industrial environments and advanced research applications. The oil-free nEXT2807M and nEXT3207M Maglev pumps provide contamination-free vacuum performance, ensuring high process quality. With a virtually maintenance-free operation of up to 80,000 hours, these models are among the lightest and most compact turbopumps in their class.
Built to deliver consistent performance in harsh industrial conditions, the nEXT M series is ideal for a wide range of applications across R&D and industrial markets. These include coating applications, vacuum ovens, thermal vacuum chambers for space simulations, and high-energy physics research.
“In practical use, the nEXT M pumps offer numerous advantages,” explained Jinane Haddad, Product Manager at Edwards Vacuum. “In addition to their low-vibration operation - critical for many applications - these pumps deliver hydrocarbon-free performance, exceptional durability, and effi cient water cooling. This extends maintenance intervals and enhances overall pumping capacity.”
Process reliability directly impacts productivity and profi tability, making consistent performance essential. “The design and functional features of the nEXT M series contribute signifi cantly to this,” said Haddad. Featuring a bespoke rotor design, the nEXT M pumps achieve excellent pumping speeds - up to 3,200 l/s for the nEXT3207M and up to 2,500 l/s for the nEXT2807M (for nitrogen). Reduced rotor weight also lowers power consumption, particularly during start-stop cycles.
For industrial and R&D applications requiring minimal vibration and hydrocarbon-free operation, the nEXT M series represents a cutting-edge solution. “With this innovative turbomolecular pump technology, we ensure that sensitive processes remain unaffected by external interference,” concluded Haddad.

Tailored mini environments for particle-free production
No matter whether it be the medical or pharmaceuticals industries or semiconductor fabrication, many sectors are attaching increasing importance to producing and manufacturing components in a clean, particle-free environment. The primary fi elds of application for the Spetec clean-room workbench or mini environment are in the optical, electronic and mechanical industries. The clean-room workbench can be tailored to meet customer needs and the required clean room class. In other words, the size, features and design of the workbench are adapted as required.
As a rule, the unit is made from special aluminum profi les suitable for use in clean rooms. The side walls can be made from glass or acrylic glass, or the box can be surrounded by a strip curtain. A laminar fl ow module is then fi tted at the top, which delivers class 5 clean room conditions inside the box. This corresponds to a mere 100 0.5 µm particles. Compared with an approximate particle count of 1 million per cubic foot in a typical offi ce or laboratory, this represents a 10 000-fold increase in air quality.
The key difference compared with a Spetec Laminar Flow Box (FBS Series, table unit) lies in the fact that the size and features of the clean-room workbench can be fully tailored to the needs of the customer, for instance in respect of the choice of work surface, which is available as perforated steel, stainless steel or hard laminate. The result is a self-contained, tailored clean-room workbench.

Transforming laboratory operations with cloud-based SaaS LIMS solutions
In today’s fast-paced environment, laboratories face numerous challenges, including the need for effi cient data management, regulatory compliance, and cost control. An advanced Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) deployed through a cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) model offers a comprehensive solution to these challenges.
An advanced LIMS automates data capture and reporting, reducing manual documentation time. This automation accelerates turnaround times and minimises human errors, ensuring accurate and reliable data. With real-time data access, labs can monitor progress and make informed decisions quickly.
The cloud-based SaaS model provides unparalleled scalability, allowing labs to easily adjust their operations based on demand. This fl exibility helps labs manage costs by reducing the need for on-site hardware and IT support. Centralised data management eliminates data silos, streamlining workfl ows and enhancing collaboration across multiple sites.
Maintaining compliance with regulatory standards is crucial for any laboratory. An advanced LIMS helps to ensure full traceability and adherence to quality standards by automating compliance processes. This builds trust with clients and reduces the risk of non-compliance and associated penalties.
By leveraging a cloud-based SaaS model, labs can achieve signifi cant cost savings. The reduction in infrastructure costs, combined with automated compliance and data management, lowers the total cost of ownership. This model supports high testing volumes and complex processes without compromising effi ciency.
The Clinisys Laboratory Solution™ (CLS) is an advanced, comprehensive LIMS with a cloud-based SaaS deployment model designed to support labs across multiple industries. CLS and its industry content packages provide sector-specifi c features needed to support essential laboratory processes and handle regulatory burdens within multiple major industries, including Environmental, Water, Toxicology, Public Health, Food & Beverage safety testing, and Contract Services testing.
In conclusion, an advanced LIMS deployed through a cloud-based SaaS model, such as the Clinisys Laboratory Solution™, empowers laboratories to enhance effi ciency, scalability, compliance, and cost management, positioning them for sustainable growth in a competitive landscape.
