Filter Pump
$ 13.15 Original price was: $ 13.15.$ 13.08Current price is: $ 13.08.
Filter Pump is a laboratory device designed to create a vacuum using water or air flow to assist in filtration processes. Typically made from corrosion-resistant metal, plastic, or a combination of both, it operates by utilizing the Venturi effect to generate negative pressure. This suction power is ideal for accelerating vacuum filtration by drawing liquid through filter media quickly and efficiently. Filter pumps are commonly used in chemical, biological, environmental, and industrial laboratories where rapid and effective liquid-solid separation is required. They are a cost-effective and reliable alternative to mechanical vacuum pumps in many low-to-moderate vacuum applications.
Filter Pump
Primary Uses
- Laboratory and Analytical Applications
- Used in vacuum filtration systems to draw liquids through filter paper or membrane filters.
- Aids in the rapid separation of solids from liquids in chemical, biological, and microbiological labs.
- Supports sample preparation by efficiently removing excess solvents or filtrates.
- Facilitates the filtration of culture media and reaction mixtures.
Secondary Uses
- Industrial and Environmental Applications
- Used in environmental testing labs for filtering water, wastewater, and air samples.
- Supports quality control processes in chemical manufacturing by accelerating filtration.
- Assists in pharmaceutical and food industries for process filtration under controlled suction.
- Used in teaching and research institutions to demonstrate vacuum principles in physics and chemistry.
1.Basic Identification Attributes
- Material: Corrosion-resistant metal or plastic (commonly brass, stainless steel, or polypropylene)
- Type: Water aspirator or air-powered vacuum pump
- Connection: Typically includes hose barb for tubing attachment and vacuum outlet
2.Physical & Chemical Properties

3.Safety & Hazard Attributes
- Risk of water backflow; use with check valve to prevent contamination
- Ensure proper drainage to avoid water overflow or damage
4.Storage & Handling Attributes
- Store in a clean, dry place when not in use
- Flush with clean water after use to remove residues and prevent buildup
- Periodically inspect seals and joints for wear and tear
5.Regulatory & Compliance Attributes
- Manufactured according to laboratory safety and operational standards
- Suitable for use in GLP and GMP compliant laboratories
6.Environmental & Health Impact
- Does not consume electricity; environmentally friendly alternative to mechanical pumps
- Use of water increases water consumption—consider water-saving models where available
Safety Handling Precautions
- Always ensure proper connection to faucet or air line before operation
- Do not use with volatile or hazardous chemicals unless appropriate safety measures are in place
First Aid Measures
- In case of exposure to chemicals during filtration, follow chemical-specific first aid guidelines
- Seek medical attention for inhalation or contact injuries caused by hazardous vapors or liquids
Firefighting Measures
- Non-electrical, non-flammable device; extinguish surrounding materials as necessary
- Ensure chemicals being filtered do not pose fire or explosion risk under vacuum
