Light weight and shatterproof, Thermo Scientific Nalgene vacuum chambers and desiccators provide a safer, more ergonomic alternative to glass. These products can make significant contributions to your lab safety program. Make your vacuum connections with non-toxic Nalgene orthophthalate-free vacuum tubing. For field applications and areas with limited access to an electric-powered vacuum source, Nalgene hand-operated vacuum pumps or a water-generated vacuum provided by a Nalgene vacuum aspirator may provide a low cost, convenient solution.

Vacuum Chambers
Plastic vacuum chambers can play an important role in lab safety programs. They don't shatter upon impact like glass and are much lighter weight for more ergonomic handling.

Vacuum Tubing
Nalgene Non-Phthalate Clear Plastic PVC Vacuum Tubing is manufactured from the highest-grade resin materials and performs like classic Nalgene 180 tubing but is free from orthophthalate DEHP plasticizers. Complies with FDA CFR21 for food packaging, USP VI, Cytotoxicity, REACH, Latex-free, RoHS, and complies with California proposition 65. Resists hardening and discoloration from a wide range of laboratory chemicals and does not impart odor or taste. Withstands full vacuum (29.9 in. Hg) at room temperature. Use 1/4" ID sizes with Nalgene vacuum chambers, hand pumps, vacuum desiccators and vacuum aspirator.
Repairable Hand-Operated Vacuum Pumps
Hand-operated vacuum pumps are a convenient choice in the lab or field where an electric-generated vacuum source is unavailable. Repair kits are available to keep them operating at top efficiency for extended product life and sustainable "fix-it-don't replace-it" value support. Pumps feature full blank port pressure with only two strokes and single finger trigger release for easy and controlled rate of vacuum release. Nozzle fits standard 1/4" (6 mm) ID tubing and each unit comes with a 2 ft. (0.6 m) length of Nalgene PVC vacuum tubing.
