The New DGC-020 Degasser
Dissolved Gases Don't Stand a Chance
Fluidic degassers have an essential role in your fluidics platform—ensuring accurate aspiration and dispensing of your critical reagents. Our new DGC-020 degasser removes dissolved gases in the 5-20 mL/min (80-330µL/sec) flow rate range before bubbles form and cause unwanted system disruptions.
Bubbles can form when system reagents experience temperature or pressure changes. The DGC-020 is a silicone degasser removes dissolved gasses from the reagent before they are pulled into the system and outgas when the solubility levels change. This degasser is perfect for instrument developers in the clinical chemistry (IVD), Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), and Proteogenomic space.
Whether combined with your system vacuum source, or a dedicated vacuum pump from IDEX Health & Science, you will experience superior system operation and reduced worry about variability in your fluid dispensing.

A Bubble Buster at Work
The core functional element of this inline degasser is a fluid path lined by a highly permeable silicone-like membrane. Fluid flows through the membrane pathway, while the space surrounding the membrane is evacuated. A PID controlled IDEX Health & Science vacuum pump holds a precise vacuum level driving the active removal of dissolved gases across the membrane.
The plot shows the reference degassing efficiency of degassing chamber DGC-020 tested under various flow rates. The degassing efficiency represents the percentage of removed dissolved oxygen with respect to its saturation concentration. The curve shows a typical minimum performance profile gained at 25 °C using deionized water and a vacuum level of 16.7 kPa. The chamber was operated with negligible back pressure connected to the discharge side of a continuous pump. Oxygen content was monitored using a dissolved oxygen sensor while the flow rate was measured using a mass flow meter.
Anytime system conditions shift in a way that reduces the gas solubility of a fluid, outgassing occurs and bubbles form. If conditions change towards the lower right at any point in the fluid path, bubbles will be generated.
Our new fluidic in-line degasser is engineered for your laboratory and analytical life science applications where bubbles are problematic:
