Revolutionary Innovation in Gas Purification Technology

The GENESIS has been designed to be the most cost effective stainless steel inert atmosphere glovebox system on the market.

The GENESIS was born from VAC’s ongoing research and development and our pursuit to simplify the user experience by advancements in inert atmosphere technologies.

Each system is supplied with integrated independent inert gas purifiers. The Genesis Purifier Cartridges are supplied pre-activated and ready for immediate use. Our revolutionary patented design is able to achieve and maintain glovebox oxygen and moisture purity levels of < 1 ppm.

This design eliminates the need for high maintenance external gas purification columns, circulation blowers, regeneration valves, regeneration control systems or requirements for regeneration gas.

VAC’s Cartridge Technology has changed the way the world thinks about inert atmosphere purification methods.

No Regeneration Required.

Technical Data

Performance

Performance: < 1 ppm oxygen & moisture

Antechamber pump down time: 6 minute cycle (typical)

Leak Certification: Helium leak check to 1 X 10-6 std cc/sec.

Safety Certification: Conforms and certified to UL Std 61010-1 and CSA Std C22.2 NO 1010.1, certified for CE conformity

Display and Control Systems

Oxygen Analyzer Assy, : LCD display, calibration system and electrolytic fuel cell. Monitors and displays the glovebox levels from 0.1 ppm to 25% oxygen.
