BrandTech Scientific laboratory equipment and liquid handling instruments

Brand Group engineering legacy and BRANDTECH Scientific operations

The engineering background of the Brand Group began in 1949, when Rudolf Brand established a specialized production plant for volumetric glassware in Wertheim, Germany.

Over seven decades of technical development, the workshop expanded into an international group employing more than one thousand specialists across German production sites.

In 1996, the enterprise founded BRANDTECH Scientific in Essex, Connecticut, to coordinate supplies and technical support in North America.

The production infrastructure includes modern cleanrooms for polymer injection molding and automated assembly lines.

The manufacturing group develops liquid handling instrumentation under the BRAND name, chemistry vacuum equipment through the VACUUBRAND division, and fluoropolymer volumetric labware under the VITLAB brand, maintaining strict calibration standards for research laboratories.

Design principles and safety systems of Dispensette S bottle-top dispensers

Dispensette S bottle-top dispensers provide an established standard for accurate liquid aliquoting directly from reagent supply bottles.

The portfolio includes Dispensette S models for acids and bases, Dispensette S Organic units for volatile organic solvents, and high-purity Dispensette TA units built with fluoropolymer wetted pathways to eliminate trace metal leaching during elemental trace analysis.

The borosilicate glass metering cylinder incorporates a synthetic safety sleeve that contains liquid and prevents glass fragment dispersion during accidental impact.

An integrated SafetyPrime priming valve system redirects liquid back into the reservoir during initial venting, eliminating reagent wastage and preventing fluid splashing within laboratory fume hood enclosures.

Mechanical and electronic micropipette engineering in Transferpette S

Transferpette S micropipettes are engineered with a dedicated focus on ergonomics and liquid metering precision across volume ranges from 0.1 microliters to 10 milliliters.

Single-channel and multi-channel mechanical pipettes provide complete steam autoclaving at 121 degrees Celsius without disassembly, simplifying routine decontamination workflows within microbiology and biochemical facilities.

Electronic Transferpette electronic models feature an embedded microprocessor controller and display, supporting automated dispensing routines such as reverse pipetting, mixing, and gel electrophoresis loading.

Resilient elastomer seals on the nose cone ensure air-tight tip seating while requiring minimal manual attachment and ejection forces from the laboratory operator.

Chemical vacuum pumps and automated VARIO select controllers by VACUUBRAND

VACUUBRAND vacuum equipment is engineered for continuous evacuation of aggressive gases, acid vapors, and solvent fumes. In oil-free diaphragm pumps, all components contacting sample streams are machined from fluoropolymer PTFE materials and reinforced polymers resistant to aggressive reagents.

The absence of lubricating oil within the pump head prevents sample contamination by process lubricant vapors.

Modern vacuum stations utilize microprocessor-controlled VARIO select systems with variable-speed motor drives. An automated control algorithm identifies solvent boiling points and optimizes pumping velocity without manual intervention.

Integrated inlet and outlet glass catchpots provide efficient condensation recovery of solvent vapors, safeguarding laboratory personnel and exhaust lines.

Modular architecture and efficiency of VACUU-LAN local vacuum networks

VACUU-LAN modular laboratory vacuum networks deliver a modern decentralized alternative to central building vacuum lines and water aspirators.

The architecture supplies controlled, chemistry-grade deep vacuum to multiple workstations, bench areas, and fume hoods from a compact diaphragm pump situated within local bench cabinetry or technical service enclosures.

Each localized extraction port incorporates an integrated check valve and fine-adjustment flow knob, eliminating pressure fluctuations and preventing chemical cross-contamination between adjacent work areas.

The modular fluoropolymer ducting design allows technicians to reconfigure or expand vacuum lines flexibly to accommodate evolving laboratory requirements without building modifications.

High-purity VITLAB PFA volumetric plasticware and life science consumables

VITLAB volumetric containers and life science consumables are molded from high-purity engineering resins including PFA, PMP, and modified polypropylene.

Labware fabricated from virgin perfluoroalkoxy PFA delivers inert chemical resistance against concentrated acids including hydrofluoric and aqua regia, enduring continuous thermal exposure up to 260 degrees Celsius without structural distortion.

VITLAB class A volumetric flasks and graduated cylinders are calibrated individually, featuring durable laser-etched graduation marks that withstand repeated chemical cleaning cycles.

For molecular diagnostics and bioanalytical assays, cleanroom-manufactured thin-wall PCR tubes, microplates, and disposable UV-transparent cuvettes are provided free of detectable DNA and enzymatic inhibitors.
