Agilent is now expanding its VacIon Plus product family portfolio

with the introduction of the VacIon Plus 1000 L/s ion pump.

The VIP1000, with a 12 inch ConFlat inlet flange, can be used

for those applications that require the evacuation of large volume

chambers where stable and ultrahigh vacuum is needed.

An example of a suitable application for the new VIP1000 is

undoubtedly the study and detection of gravitational waves. In

this field, large pumping volumes and speeds are required along

with the complete absence of vibration during system operation.

To ensure cleanliness, the VIP1000 undergoes a complete

factory process, including outgassing of the body and internal

components in a high-temperature (450°C) vacuum oven. A full

automated leak check is executed at the beginning and at the

end of the process. To guarantee the pump’s specifications, a final

electrical check is performed. These processes ensure that the

Agilent pump is shipped under ultrahigh vacuum with the highest

level of cleanliness available in the ion pump market.

The VIP1000 can be purchased in Diode and StarCell

configuration, and with or without heater to satisfy most common

application requests.
