Hudson Control Group introduces the VaryVac PowerBox™, the first fully programmable vacuum generator/controller for use in microplate filtration, column filtration, aspirating, and material handling drying applications. The VaryVac PowerBox doesn't use any pumps, freeing the user from oil, heat, and noise hazards. It offers precise closed-loop feedback providing accurate and dependable vacuum levels, trouble reporting options for error management, walkaway time from variable vacuum processes, real-time displays of vacuum levels and an exhaust port allowing venting to hoods for demanding laboratory applications.

VaryVac PowerBox is also compatible with Hudson's VaryVac robotically-controlled vacuum nest and PlateCrane EX robot loading system. SoftLinx, Hudson's multi-tasking scheduling software, allows the vacuum to be applied for timed events, user prompts for any manual interactions, sample tracking, guiding a user through a protocol and easy interfacing of the VaryVac PowerBox with other automated instruments for seamless process control. The VaryVac PowerBox also has an easy-to-use ASCll RS-232 command set for easy integration into third party software packages.
