Vacuum filtration is one of the most common applications used for sample preparation in chemistry, microbiology, waste water control and other analytical processes. The ME 1C diaphragm pump offers a compact, high performance and easy-to-use solution which is perfect for single filtrations. This development, based on the highly successful technology of the oil-free diaphragm pump MD 1C, provides a well-proven and extraordinarily long diaphragm life time. The functional, space saving and innovative design with easily accessible, top-mounted power switch ensures convenient and quick operation for day-to-day lab work. Robust PTFE diaphragms and valves provide optimal chemical resistance. A manual vacuum regulator valve with dial gauge for adjustment of pumping speed and ultimate vacuum is available as accessory.
