VACUUBRAND ME 1C Chemistry Diaphragm Pump is a compact, oil-free solution engineered for routine laboratory applications requiring modest vacuum levels. With a robust PTFE diaphragm and valves, it provides excellent chemical resistance, making it ideal for filtrations and solid phase extractions involving aggressive solvents.
Key Features:
- Ultimate Vacuum: 100 mbar (75 torr) with a maximum pumping speed of 0.5 CFM at 60 Hz
- Maintenance-free drive with long diaphragm lifespan for dependable operation
- High chemical resistance with PTFE diaphragms and valves
- Quiet operation (49 dBA) and low vibration, improving lab comfort
- Space-saving design with an easily accessible, top-mounted power switch
- Optional manual vacuum regulator valve with dial gauge for fine adjustment of vacuum level and flow rate
Applications
Designed for routine vacuum filtration, sample preparation in chemistry and microbiology, wastewater analysis, and other analytical processes. Unlike water-jet pumps, it does not consume water, eliminating contaminated wastewater disposal concerns.
