VACU-GUARD
VACU-GUARD 150
The easy-to-use VACU-GUARD™ inline filter devices help to confine and isolate infectious materials in vacuum systems and protect your laboratory.
Features and benefits
- Excellent for protecting vacuum pump systems from solvent vapor or gaseous contaminants and aqueous aerosols
- Designed for in-line use with stepped barb connections for 10 to 12 mm ID hose
- Available with choice of chemical trap: activated carbon, molecular sieve or desiccant
- Membrane retains 99.99% of airbone particles greaterthan 0.1 µm
- Features hydrophobic PTFE membrane
Applications
- Vacuum pump protection
- Activated carbon removes organic vapors and radioactive particles
- Molecular sieve for use with organic and alkaline air streams
- Desiccant for use with high velocity acidic air streams
- Removes a potential health hazard from the work place
