WaterVac 100 vacuum filtration system.

At Southern Labware we are always on the lookout for new products that can improve the process and efficiency of procedures in the lab.  Over the years there have not been many improvements in the membrane filtration technique.  A vacuum pump, filter holder and filtering flask is the typical set up.  The WaterVac 100 is a brand new product from the worldwide leader in vacuum filtration apparatuses, Rocker Scientific.

The WaterVac 100 can be used for the membrane filter technique for analyzing aqueous-based fluids for microbial contamination.  Simply add a 47mm filter holder and you have a vacuum filtration system that takes up 70% less space on the lab bench.  

The WaterVac 100 is a unique vacuum filtration system which can generate sufficient vacuum for filtration through built-in air/water pump and drain the waste liquid directly. Compared with traditional filtration equipment, WaterVac 100 does not need additional suction flasks or bottles to collect the waste liquid.   This space saving feature makes it ideal for working in tight spaces like a laminar flow cabinet.

The following specifications of the WaterVac 100 make it versatile enough for many general filtration applications as well as meeting the Membrane Filter (MF) Technique filtration parameters described in U.S. EPA, ISO and ASTM standards .
