UltraVac is Andors proprietary vacuum technology that provides a permanent, hermetically sealed enclosure (without
O-rings) for the sensor. This ensures maximum cooling performance, with a reliability proven through years of use in
Andor cameras such as the iXon EMCCD, iKon and Newton series- the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) value is >
100 years.

Outgassing is minimized through assembly in a state of the art facility, with a stringent protocol and use of proprietary
materials (Outgassing is the release of trapped gasses that would otherwise degrade cooling performance and
potentially cause sensor failure). UltraVac also features a single camera window for the best optical performance. For
more information about our UltraVac technology, please visit our website and view the technical article on UltraVac.
