The new vacuum pump series Microsart® maxi.vac and Microsart® mini.vac provides up to date technology for daily use in the Microbiology laboratory environment. They are electric neoprene membrane pumps and therefore oil- and maintenance-free with a low noise level.
The absolute vacuum is limited to 100 mbar. The adjustable vacuum allows trouble free working according to ISO 8199 (“Water quality: General guide to enumeration of micro-organisms by culture). The differential pressure during filtration should not exceed 700 mbar to allow a gentle enrichment of the microorganisms.
The intelligent pump design facilitates easy and efficient operation, even in limited working space. The noise development during operation is reduced by 50% compared toconventional membrane pumps. An integralpart of the pumps is a newly structured membrane which guarantees leak-proof operation.
The pumps are available in two sizes. The small compact pump Microsart® mini.vac with 6 l / min air flow is ideal for single vacuum filtrations and the standard pump Microsart® maxi.vac, with 22 l / min air flow, for 3- to 6-place manifolds.
