DigiVac | Using Python to Control entire Vacuum System
We created an open source python solution that utilizes serial communication and DV CUP to graphically display vacuum information on a PC. Read more to Learn how to starting our free GUI Link!
Solvent Recovery and Distillation
The term ‘solvent’ refers to several chemical substances which are used to dissolve or dilute other substances or materials. They are usually organic liquids. Solvents usually have a low boiling point and evaporate easily or can be removed by distillation, thereby leaving the dissolved substance behind. Solvents should therefore not react chemically with the dissolved compounds—they must be inert.
What Extraction technique is right for you?
The cannabis market uses three main extraction techniques: CO2, liquefied hydrocarbons, and ethanol extraction. Below explains each method and how the extraction takes place and who and why some would use one specific method over another.
Optimizing Medical Freeze Drying | Lyophilization < 2 Torr
Lyophilization, also known as freeze drying, is a process used for preserving biological material by removing the water from the sample, which involves first freezing the sample and then drying it, under a vacuum, at very low temperatures.
Improving Resolution of Electron Microscopy with FYRA
A customer approached Digivac to assist with vacuum control in an electron microscope. A vacuum within the microscope deeper than 20 Pascals (approx. 150 millitorr) causes visible degradation in the final image. The customer needed the ability to measure inside the chamber and precisely control the vacuum between 20 and 30 pascals while the electron microscope captures the image.
DigiVac Dinamo Valve Set up
You just bought a new Digivac Dinamo valve and you’re excited to get it up and running. This blog provides your tips for optimizing your system when adding the Dinamo valve with either the StrataVac Touch or FYRA controllers.

Vacuum Drying Temperature-Sensitive Materials Effectively
Some materials are super sensitive to temperature making it more difficult to vacuum dry . It is crucial to make sure that the temperature remains constant as it can end in a loss of materials if an error were to happen. Not being able to completely control your vacuum can result in making you restart the process back to square one.
Don’t Get Fooled By These Common Vacuum Processing Myths
Rotary evaporators are advanced scientific instruments that are commonly used in chemical laboratories, processing laboratories and in research to facilitate fractionation. This separation process allows the solvents to be removed gently through evaporation and the precise control of the temperature.
