What are UHV Suitcases?
An Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) Suitcase is a specialized, portable device designed to transport sensitive samples between different instruments or laboratories, while maintaining ultra-high vacuum conditions.
This ensures that samples remain uncontaminated and preserved during transit. UHV suitcases typically incorporate ion pumps powered by rechargeable batteries to sustain the vacuum environment.
