Description
- Filter Pump.
- Made from chemical resistant borosilicate glass.
- This apparatus can be used to create a moderate vacuum.
- when connected to a water supply.
Here are common uses and applications of a borosilicate glass filter pump:
- Vacuum Filtration:
- Applications: Borosilicate glass filter pumps are used for vacuum filtration processes in laboratories. They assist in separating solid particles from liquids by applying a vacuum to draw the liquid through a filter paper or membrane.
- Sample Preparation:
- Applications: In analytical chemistry and research laboratories, filter pumps are used for sample preparation, especially when clear filtrates are needed for subsequent analysis.
- Microbiology:
- Applications: Borosilicate glass filter pumps are utilized in microbiological laboratories for the sterilization of liquids and the filtration of microbial cultures.
- HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography):
- Applications: Filter pumps can be used in HPLC sample preparation to filter out particulate matter or impurities that might interfere with chromatographic analyses.
- Environmental Testing:
- Applications: Laboratories involved in environmental testing use filter pumps for filtering water samples to analyze pollutants, suspended particles, or microorganisms.
- Food and Beverage Analysis:
- Applications: In quality control laboratories for the food and beverage industry, filter pumps assist in the filtration of samples for analysis, ensuring that the liquid phase is clear and free of particulates.
- Pharmaceutical Laboratories:
- Applications: Pharmaceutical laboratories use filter pumps for various applications, including the clarification of pharmaceutical solutions and the removal of impurities from drug formulations.
- DNA/RNA Extraction:
- Applications: In molecular biology laboratories, filter pumps are used during DNA or RNA extraction processes to separate nucleic acids from other cellular components.
- Chemical Synthesis:
- Applications: Filter pumps are employed in chemical synthesis laboratories for filtering reaction mixtures to isolate desired products or remove by-products.
- Waste Water Analysis:
- Applications: Laboratories analyzing wastewater samples use filter pumps to separate solids from liquid samples before conducting chemical or biological tests.
- Particle Size Analysis:
- Applications: Borosilicate glass filter pumps are used in laboratories performing particle size analysis. They help isolate particles of specific sizes for further characterization.
- Educational Laboratories:
- Applications: Filter pumps are commonly used in educational laboratories to teach students about filtration techniques and the principles of separating solids from liquids.
- Air and Gas Sampling:
- Applications: In environmental monitoring and air quality laboratories, filter pumps are used for the collection of airborne particles in air and gas sampling.
