Vacuubrand Announces New Compact Pumps for Filtration and Solid Phase Extraction

The new diaphragm pumps ME 1 and ME 1C offered by Vacuubrand complete the range of compact vacuum pumps for applications like filtration and sample preparation in chemistry, microbiology, waste water control and other analytical processes. The ME 1 and ME 1C also allow an almost maintenance-free use. New designed from the established technology of the three-stage model line MD 1 and MD 1C they stand out due to a proven long diaphragm life.

The ultimate vacuum of 100 mbar obtains 90% of atmospheric pressure that is doing the work of forcing the media through the filter. For aqueous filtration, the ME 1 is the optimal choice; however, for more aggressive solvents, the ME 1C with its superior chemical resistance properties is the right solution. The new top mounted power switch and the space saving design offers an easy-to-use functionality even with gloves and requires minimal bench top space. An optional manual control valve with dial gauge enables variable fine adjustment of the pumping speed (max. 0.7 m³/h).
