Refrigerated vacuum cold trap for lab applications
Protect your vacuum pumps from harmful vapors while reducing operating costs with a space-saving, benchtop cold trap designed for effective vapor condensation and dehydration.

Traps Condensable Vapors in Vacuum Systems
The FTS Vapor Trap is an engineered solution from SP Industries, designed to enhance vacuum system efficiency. This refrigerated cold trap employs mechanical refrigeration, eliminating the need for dry ice and liquid nitrogen, while ensuring efficient vapor trapping. Constructed from stainless-steel, the Dewar design traps condensable vapors with freezing points higher than its operating temperature, extending vacuum pump life and reducing maintenance costs.
Ideal for biopharmaceutical, fine chemical, and coating material applications, the trap is essential for producing monoclonal antibodies, lyophilized vaccines, and parylene conformal coatings. Capable of handling vacuum pumps up to 250 liters/minute, it integrates seamlessly into benchtop operations, offering -50°C or -90°C configurations with capacities of 2, 4, or 8 liters to suit specific research needs.
The compact design saves laboratory space, while its simple digital interface ensures user-friendly operation. This equipment aligns with stringent industry standards, providing reliable performance for pharmaceutical manufacturers, life sciences companies, and research laboratories.
