Description
Key Features:
- Components: Typically include a filter flask (often made of glass or plastic), a filtration funnel, and a compatible filter membrane or filter paper.
- Filtration Mechanism: The vacuum pump creates negative pressure, forcing the liquid through the filter membrane while retaining solids on the surface.
- Types of Filters: Compatible with a wide range of filter membranes such as cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate, glass microfiber, and various types of membranes with specific pore sizes and chemical resistances.
- Applications: Used in microbiology, environmental analysis, pharmaceutical quality control, and research laboratories for tasks such as particle removal, sterilization, and clarification of aqueous solutions and biological fluids.
- Sterile Filtration: Can be equipped with sterile filter units for applications requiring sterile filtration of liquids.
- Convenience: Designed for ease of assembly, operation, and cleaning, ensuring efficient workflow and reproducible results.
Vacuum filtration units are indispensable in scientific research, quality control processes, and industrial applications where precise separation and purification of liquids and suspensions are essential. They facilitate reliable and scalable filtration operations while maintaining sample integrity and ensuring regulatory compliance.
