NO TROUBLES WITH BUBBLES®
DEGASi® LifeSci NG
Responsible degasser for aqueous solutions
The new DEGASi® LifeSci NG inline vacuum degasser is designed for full biocompatibility and reduced environmental impact. It was invented to efficiently remove dissolved gases from aqueous fluids before they outgas and form bubbles that impact precision dispensing or interfering with detection.
By employing a silicone-type tubular membrane, this chamber quickly accomplishes highly efficient degassing of aqueous solutions in a construction totally free from metals and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are often encountered in the type of degassers that are designed for organic solvents. Its silicon-based biocompatible flow path is designed for life science applications such as benchtop clinical chemistry, immunoassays, flow cytometry, next-generation sequencing (NGS), spatial biology, and proteomics. This new degasser is thus highly suitable for environmental, food, healthcare, and biotechnology labs.
The DEGASi® LifeSci NG stand-alone inline degasser is suitable for a wide range of life science applications demanding full biocompatibility and it complies with RoHS and REACH requirements. Its capacity is suitable for flow rates from 3 to 20 mL/min per channel, and this degasser is available with 1-3 degassing channels. The port design is 1/4-28 Flat-Bottom for connection of tubing with OD ranging from 1/16” to 1/8”. This degasser is exclusively intended for neutral aqueous solutions and not compatible with organic solvents in higher concentrations, nor with pH conditions away from the neutral realm.

Description
The DEGASi® LifeSci NG inline degasser incorporates the new DEGASi® Vacuum Controller units that include the fifth generation IDEX StabiliX™ vacuum pump. This provides an extremely silent operation with about thirty percent longer life expectancy than earlier generation vacuum controls and pumps at similar vacuum levels. The DEGASi® LifeSci NG design conforms to all modern regulating algorithms to accomplish dual-stage vacuum and zero hysteresis operation to minimize noise and wear, while maximizing performance, stability, and lifetime of an inline degasser.
The special degassing chamber in DEGASi® LifeSci NG, is based on a tubular silicone membrane that is permeable to gases but not to liquids. The flow path is thus completely free from metals and perfluoroalkylated (PFAS) polymers, thus offering a reduced environmental footprint.
Typically, all problems with bubble formation are eliminated when 40-50% of the dissolved gases are removed, which often can be critical in analytical systems as well as dispensing applications. The removal of dissolved gases from liquid chromatography mobile phases reduces retention time shifts and improves baseline stability, while also reducing the level of oxygen which otherwise can interfere with detection techniques such as UV absorption and fluorescence. Biotech Fluidics are always happy to guide you to the degassing solution that best suits your application and requirements.
