PELCO EM Pro microwave vacuum chamber and accessories
New microwave vacuum chamber for microscopy sample preparation. Improved fixation and resin infiltration.
Features:
- Made of chemically resistant, microwave-transparent polypropylene and designed for vacuum down to 1 torr/1mm Hg and temperatures up to 70°C.
- Designed either to run a continuous vacuum during microwave processing or a vacuum cycle.
- Improves fixative penetration and ultrastructural preservation during microwave-assisted chemical fixation.
- Improves resin infiltration in the microwave and greatly reduces the turnaround times when compared to established microwave protocols.
- Can be used in or outside of the PELCO BioWave pro microwave tissue processor.

If onsite vacuum currently available, we recommend the Diaphragm Vacuum Pump (VF3-220) to provide vacuum to this vacuum chamber.
Silicone vacuum hose, 6.35mm ID, Optional
Thick walled silicone vacuum hose with 6.35mm inside diameter and 12.7mm outside diameter. Sturdy, yet flexible material with wall thickness of 3.2mm, will not collapse under vacuum. Sold in lengths of 0.9 meters and 1.8 meters.
3-way Stopcock, can be placed in-line with the vacuum hose to hold vacuum and/or allow soft venting
Top plate with temperature probe port is optional.
Note that the temperature probe with cable connection for the PELCO BioWave pro microwave tissue processor is inserted is also optional. PELCO EM Pro Vacuum Chamber shown with optional top plate with temperature probe port and optional
