Micro or desktop vacuum pump is a compact, highly efficient device designed to create a partial vacuum in small-scale applications. These pumps are ideal for laboratories, electronics manufacturing, medical devices, and educational projects where space is limited but reliable performance is critical.

Operating on principles of positive displacement or diaphragm technology, they generate suction by mechanically reducing pressure within a sealed chamber. Key features include low power consumption, minimal noise output, portability, and ease of integration with systems like vacuum chambers, suction tools, or fluid handling setups.

Common applications include sample preparation, PCB holding, pneumatic control, and prototype testing. Their precision and versatility make them essential tools for professionals and hobbyists requiring controlled vacuum environments in compact formats.
