VAC GenesisGlovebox Gas Purification System

SHARE

The Genesis Glovebox Gas Purification System represents a significant advancement in the field of inert atmosphere technologies developed by VAC. This system is engineered to simplify the user experience while providing exceptional purification performance. It is equipped with integrated, independent inert gas purifiers that boast a revolutionary patented design capable of maintaining glovebox oxygen and moisture purity levels below 1 ppm. The Genesis Purifier Cartridges come pre-activated, eliminating the need for high maintenance external purification columns, circulation blowers, and complicated regeneration systems. Its oxygen purification features an atmosphere circulation assembly, power supply, and oxygen removal cartridge, while the moisture purification module combines similar components tailored for moisture removal. The system includes user-friendly display and control systems, an Oxygen Analyzer Assembly for monitoring levels from 0.1 ppm to 25% oxygen, and a Moisture Analyzer Assembly to monitor moisture levels up to 0.5 ppm. The system dimensions are variable, with options for 2-port and 4-port configurations. Notably, the Genesis requires no user-driven regeneration processes, offering a streamlined, efficient solution for maintaining optimal glovebox conditions in various scientific and industrial settings.
