SICOLAB - Silent Air Compressor for Laboratories
silent – compact – mobile
The SICOLAB oil-free air compressor system was especially conceived as a “point-of-use” laboratory compressed air source, that can be stored and used at the technicians’ bench. Therefore, we paid particular attention to keep its size, noise and vibration levels at the lowest possible, leading its class.
The SICOLAB has an appealing, modern look, which perfectly blends in with other laboratory equipment. Its space-saving design allows it to fit neatly under any standard height laboratory bench, while the sound-dampening cabinet substantially reduces noise. The air compressor system features an intuitive user interface and a simple plug-and-play operation. The SICOLAB air compressor can be effortlessly relocated, as needed, with the built-in swivel-wheels and folding handles that recesses into the body. All SICOLAB models are suitable for 100% continuous running operations.

Fields of application for compressed air in the laboratory
Compressed air for
gas chromatographs
For example, for the analysis of pharmaceuticals.
Compressed air for
analytical instruments
E.g. for rheometers, spectroscopes or particle measuring instruments.
Compressed air for
gas generators
For example for nitrogen generation for LC/MS.
Highest compressed air quality according to DIN standard ISO 8573-1
Air quality is defined according to DIN standard ISO 8573-1. Depending on the SICOLAB compressor model and filter insert, a classification of up to 1:3:1 is possible.
> Clean air due to filter inserts
> Dry air due to membrane drying system.
The membrane dryer equipped systems generate consistently dry, compressed air even at 100 % duty-cycle.
- Low purge air consumption for improved energy efficiency
- Patented pressure limitation valve for optimizing the start-up process
- Flexible: easily adjustable dew point to meet the application requirements
- Constant performance availability with constant dryness of the compressed air - even in continuous operation.
- No regeneration interruptions as with adsorption dryers.
- Dry air protects sensitive instruments, promotes their value retention and ensures hygienic conditions.
- Unadulterated measurement results.
- Maintenance-free, only annual filter change.
For more information on the different compressed air classes, compressed air quality, as well as our membrane dryers and filters, please also refer to our FAQs.
Internally anti-corrosion coated air tank
Our air tanks feature a proprietary internal, anti-corrosion coating. This works well alone without a drying device, but when the application requires dry air, a model featuring our 3-in-1, patented membrane dryer should be considered for the application. The membrane dryer equipped systems generate consistently dry, compressed air even at 100 % duty-cycle.

Chemical and industrial engineer AdscientisThe SICOLAB sound compensation station is used in our laboratory as a compressed air source for inverse gas chromatography. Materials are characterized on a molecular level. Since the instrument is located directly at the workplace, we attach great importance to the noise level. The SICOLAB station convinced us here.

It is very quiet and convinces with its mobile and compact undersink design.
Mr E Tsao Chen
Technical Manager Orbit Medica Sdn BhdThe soundproofed compressor station SICOLAB is a convenient solution for all customers who do not have a central compressed air supply with a piping system. The SICOLAB is an ideal alternative which generates the compressed air directly in the treatment room. In addition, the majority of phaco devices require an operating pressure of 7 bar. The SICOLAB meets the requirements for central compressed air supply even in large hospitals in Malaysia.
