Refrigerated vacuum cold trap for laboratory vapors
Protect your vacuum pumps by efficiently trapping harmful condensable vapors, ensuring longevity and reliability without relying on dry ice or liquid nitrogen.

Traps and Condenses Harmful Vapors Efficiently
The FTS Vapor Trap from Scientific Products is a compact and efficient refrigerated vacuum cold trap designed for demanding laboratory and industrial environments. It eliminates the need for costly dry ice or liquid nitrogen by utilizing mechanical refrigeration to effectively trap and condense harmful vapors. Featuring configurations with 2-, 4-, and 8-liter condensers, this equipment operates at temperatures down to -50°C or -90°C, making it suitable for a range of applications including parylene coating, chemical vapor deposition, and vacuum drying.
The trap’s high-efficiency design ensures reliable protection for vacuum pumps by capturing all condensable vapors with freezing points above its operating temperature. With a processing capability of up to 250 liters/minute or 9 standard cubic feet/minute, it integrates seamlessly with existing laboratory infrastructures. Built from durable stainless-steel Dewar construction, it offers corrosion resistance essential for handling aggressive chemicals and solvent recovery gases.
Engineered with user-friendly operation in mind, it features a digital temperature readout and one-touch controls for ease of use. The compact benchtop design helps save valuable lab space, while its robust build supports long-term reliability and minimal maintenance demands. This vapor trap is ideal for pharmaceutical manufacturers, life sciences laboratories, and chemical processing companies looking to maintain high operational standards and protect their equipment investments.
