Laboratory compressed air
Oil-free laboratory grade air compressors from Bambi
What applications are compressed air used for in laboratories and why is clean, high-quality air so important?
As you’ll know compressed air is used for a wide range of applications in laboratories including gas chromatography, regulating cleanroom environments, powering low and high pressure instruments, providing pressurised air, powering automation and fermentation, mixing and sample preparation and processing amongst other applications. Choosing the right laboratory air compressors to fulfil these application requirements whilst also offering optimal air purity, typically class zero air, is thus vital.
So why is high-quality air so important? Well, laboratories are environments that require incredibly high levels of sanitation to ensure the safety and efficiency of all applications. Dismissing the need for optimal air purity can lead to ruined, potentially harmful products and inefficient or ineffective processes. The presence of contaminants, such as oil vapour, particulates and condensate can also have a detrimental impact on the lab equipment your compressed air systems power, leading to unexpected breakdowns and maintenance. This makes oil-less air compressors the ideal choice for your lab as they prevent the risk of contamination.
