About VolkVac Instruments:
Providing the tools you need to succeed
Our Company
As scientists look to tackle 21st century problems, their efforts are becoming more interdisciplinary than ever: Physicists, Material Scientists, Chemists and others all working together to tackle projects. These efforts require access to ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environments to conduct experiments on an increasingly common basis, with a correspondingly increased variety and complexity of instrumentation. Founded in 2020 by Dr. Igor Pinchuk, VolkVac Instruments strives to make UHV more accessible to a wider audience of scientists and give them the exact tools they need to explore the mysteries of our world. Located in Escondido, California, we bring years of experience and expertise in UHV systems, enabling us to deliver top-of-the-line products and services tailored to the unique needs of our clients.

Our Mission
To provide our customers with reliable cutting-edge tools they need to push the bounds of research in the 21st century. We fully expect that no two systems we deliver will be the same since everyone has unique requirements which will need to be addressed. Therefore, customization and innovative engineering are everyday business to us!
Our Founder
Dr. Igor Pinchuk got his Ph.D in Physics from Ohio State University, with his research focused on molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth and magnetotransport measurements of thin film metal and axide heterostructures as well as 2-dimensional materials. His graduate and postgraduate work involved designing and building multiple MBE deposition and UHV measurement systems. igniting and fueling a passion for engineering cutting edge equipment to suit the needs of the ever-evolving held of materials research.
Our Products
While we pride ourselves on our customized solutions, we also carry a range of ‘of-the-shelf’ products available on industry-standard lead times. We offer first-in-industry aluminum and titanium UHV suitcases which are the lightest systems in their class. We also carry a comprehensive range of effusion cells for thin film deposition applications.
