Description
VZ 8561 ViscoPump for optical detection is a dedicated laboratory pump module supplied complete with the connection cable for the measuring stand, hose holder VZ 5127 and a holder for the safety bottle. The unit is intended to support sample handling and fluid transfer in viscosity measuring systems that rely on optical detection, ensuring controlled filling and emptying of capillary or flow cells. With a net weight of 1,35 kg and delivered as one complete set, the pump integrates mechanically and electrically with compatible optical viscometer stands. The included hose holder VZ 5127 organises tubing runs, while the safety-bottle holder provides a secure place for waste or reservoir vessels during automated or semi-automated sequences. Manufactured by SI Analytics – a Xylem brand, the ViscoPump is specified for optical-detection workflows rather than purely manual pipetting. Laboratories performing kinematic viscosity determinations, polymer characterisation or quality-control viscosity checks can use the module to improve sample throughput and reduce manual handling steps. The scope of delivery focuses on the essential mechanical and electrical interfaces needed to connect the pump to the measuring stand and to manage tubing and safety bottles in a compact bench-top arrangement suitable for routine analytical work.

What is this article?
VZ 8561, ViscoPump for optical detection Scope of delivery: Connection cable for is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes SI Analytics - a Xylem brand for laboratory use. It sits in Pumps (other) & accessories, inside Pumps, vacuum & evaporation, in Lab instruments.
These are the pumps and fittings that are not a vacuum pump, a peristaltic pump or a drum pump. Flow, pressure and chemical compatibility of the wetted parts remain the three questions.
A vacuum pump lowers the pressure above a liquid so it boils at a lower temperature. That is the point of a rotary evaporator: solvent leaves a sample without cooking it. A diaphragm pump or a rotary-vane pump is chosen by the vacuum it reaches and by whether solvent vapour will destroy it. A peristaltic pump moves liquid by squeezing a tube, so the liquid touches only the tube. A barrel pump transfers a larger volume from a drum. The glassware on the evaporator is indexed under ISO laboratory glassware. Solvent identity is on PubChem.
