SICOLAB – our quiet compressor for laboratories and medical practices

Quiet, compact, portable – yet as powerful as a full-size model

Laboratories and surgery rooms do not always have a separate compressor room. Our small and quiet SICOLAB compressor is ideal for space-saving use in laboratories and surgeries thanks to its intuitive operation and low weight.

Due to its compact size, the compressor can be placed directly under the laboratory bench. Thanks to smooth-running swivel castors and integrated carrying handles, the SICOLAB compressor can also be used as a mobile unit. SICOLAB models operate with low vibration and, thanks to excellent sound insulation, significantly reduce the noise level in the workplace. Requiring just one filter change per year, our quiet SICOLAB laboratory compressor is one of the most maintenance-friendly compressors available. We guarantee this even with 100% continuous operation.

Are you looking for a quiet, high-performance compressor for your laboratory or practice? We’d be happy to advise you.

Compressed air applications in the laboratory

Operating gases for gas chromatographs

For example, for the analysis of medicinal products.

Further information

Compressed air for analytical instruments

For example, for rheometers, spectroscopes or particle analysers.

Further information

Compressed air for gas generators

For example, for nitrogen production for LC/MS.

Further information

Highest-quality compressed air in accordance with the DIN standard ISO 8573-1

Air quality is defined in accordance with the DIN standard ISO 8573-1. Depending on the SICOLAB compressor model and filter cartridge, a classification of up to 1:3:1 is possible.

Dry air thanks to a membrane drying system

Constant performance availability with consistently dry compressed air – even during continuous operation.
No interruptions for regeneration, as is the case with adsorption dryers.
Pressure dew point can be adjusted to specific requirements using various nozzles. Pressure dew point can be reduced by up to 65 K.
Dry air protects sensitive instruments, helps maintain their value and ensures hygienic conditions.
Accurate measurement results.
Maintenance-free; only
requires
Low purge air consumption, good energy efficiency.
Patented pressure-limiting valve to optimise start-up behaviour.

Clean air thanks to filter cartridges

High-quality filter cartridges ensure a reliable supply of clean compressed air. For precise analysis results and safe use in everyday laboratory work.

Corrosion-resistant coating on the compressed air receiver

For SICOLAB compressor stations, we exclusively use compressed air tanks with a special internal coating that prevents corrosion.

We consider the oil-free SICOLAB compressor from Dürr Technik to be one of the best laboratory compressors in the industry in terms of quality, versatility, and low noise level. It ensures smooth operation when using laboratory equipment. For us, Dürr Technik is the perfect partner in the laboratory sector.

M. B, Rajkumar, Head of Operations von Sudha Analytics

We use the Dürr SICOLAB compressor to operate a turntable with an air-bearing platter and tonearm. The compressed air must be dry, dust-free and oil-free – a requirement that the Dürr SICOLAB has fulfilled flawlessly for several devices over many years.

Gecom Technologies, Stephan Götze, Owner

The soundproofed SICOLAB compressor station offers a convenient solution for customers without a central compressed air supply and piping system. In such cases, SICOLAB is the ideal alternative, generating compressed air directly in the treatment room. In addition, many phacoemulsification devices require an operating pressure of 7 bar. SICOLAB meets these requirements – even in large hospitals in Malaysia – as a reliable substitute for a central compressed air supply.

Orbit Medica Sdn Bhd, Mr E Tsao Chen, Technical Manager

We use the SICOLAB compressor station in our chromatography lab to power an air generator. It is exceptionally quiet and impresses with its compact, mobile under-bench design.

We use the soundproofed SICOLAB compressor station as our compressed air source for inverse gas chromatography. Since it operates directly at the workplace, low noise was essential – and SICOLAB has fully met our expectations.
