may require a double filter ie blocks more quickly

- 20cc/stroke . . . SLOW tedious for difficult filtrations
- both Vacuum and
Pressure Compound Vac Press Gauge
|
Filtration HINT ! more Hints
|
- Single Stage Pump Only required/needed !
Duel stage Only relevant for large container faster pump down
- DON’T USE a Rotary Vane pump ( normally oil lubricated ! XXX)
too high a vacuum ( typical <10mmHg ) can fracture the membrane open the pores Humid air can rust-up/sieze the pump . . . eventually
- DANGER Glass Bottles can break AND Plastic Bottle filters can collapse particularly with “oil” filtration (it softens THE plastic) & “ALL . . . use Common Sense !”
|
TOO Slow ?
use YOUR common sense
|
Check for leaks use THAT Vacuum Gauge that;s what it’s for !
|
It’s a viscosity problem ! warm the mix ! ( but 50C max!)
|
Sterilisation ? 0.2um is a must ! otherwise 4x 0.45 faster
|
dirty (unseen) media may clog the filter don’t use el cheapo “crap” media
|
use a Large Membrane Diameter eg 90:47:25mm (SF) x 12:3.5:1 Speed
|
use a more compatibe membrane material New PES for water and most mid- polarity “oils” vs PVDF ???
|
Use a Syringe Pump (35psi max) or maybe a Peristalic pump (5-7psi max ???)
|
Use Due Diligence
