In various research, the presence of air (gas) can affects the results of a study, requiring a vacuum pump to evacuate the gas. Various types of vacuum pumps are used depending on the vacuum level required.

These accelerators are used by universities, national laboratories, and companies for a wide variety of research and analysis applications, including archaeology and cultural anthropology, space science, geology and geoenvironmental science (ocean circulation), functional polymers (bioassay, plastic, rubber, fuel), new drug development, and material surface analysis.

Cyclotron systems are used in the production of PET, SPECT, and other radioisotope elements that are essential raw materials for cancer diagnostics.
