KNF Pumps for Centrifugal Concentration

Centrifugal vacuum concentrators combine centrifugal force, vacuum, and heat to dry or concentrate multiple small samples quickly and efficiently. Because this process uses aggressive solvents, a pump with high chemical resistance and good vapor compatibility is recommended.

Understanding Centrifugal Concentration

Centrifugal Concentration separates and concentrates samples and is used in fields as diverse as biochemistry, environmental science, and food analysis. 

 

Applications for centrifugal concentration include polynucleotide and protein sample concentration, residue analysis, solvent/water mixture concentration, toxicology and forensics, combinatorial chemistry, and food/environmental analysis. 

 

Due to the nature of the solvents used, a pump with high chemical resistance and good condensate tolerance is recommended.

Factors to Consider When Selecting the Ideal Pump for Centrifugal Concentration

  • Chemically resistant
  • Oil-free operation
  • High vapor and condensate compatibility
  • Internal volume of centrifugal concentrator
