Laboratory Vacuum Filter

Our own design of vacuum filter for the dewatering of small test samples. Its quick and simple operation saves us a lot of time when preparing dry samples for assay 

Consists of a simple vacuum plate on which seals and filter paper are placed. The heavy hood makes the seal and traps the sample above the filter paper - Click the image below to see a video showing just how effective it is.

We have our machine set up with a simple external vessel and a one way flapper valve to automatically dump the filtered water once the vacuum is released. It is so easy to use and saves us time
