Uses of Filter pump

• Vacuum Filtration:

A filter pump creates a vacuum to pull liquid through a filter medium, speeding up the filtration process. This is useful in separating solids from liquids, such as in chemical analyses or microbiology labs.

• Suction Filtration:

It helps remove solvents from a sample quickly by applying suction, making the filtration faster than gravity-based methods.

• Degassing Solutions:

The pump removes dissolved gases from liquids, which is necessary for experiments requiring degassed solvents or solutions.

• Drying Samples:

It assists in evaporating solvents under reduced pressure, drying samples more effectively, especially in processes like rotary evaporation.

• Vacuum Distillation:

Used to lower the boiling point of liquids, allowing distillation at lower temperatures, which is essential for heat-sensitive compounds.

• Gas Sampling:

It can be employed to draw gases or air through analyzers or absorbents for environmental and chemical testing.

• Freeze Drying (Lyophilization):

In combination with freezing, it helps remove moisture from biological samples by sublimation.
