About Vaccum Filter Holders
Vaccum Filter Holders
These mechanisms are used in microbiological quality control e.g. of water, soft drinks and other laboratory reagents. Analytical determination e.g. of metal particles in lubricating oil and iron oxides in boiler water. Stainless steel and borosilicate glass frit filter support gives optionally uniform distribution of retained bacteria or particles on the membrane filter surface. It can be flamed to sanitize between samples without membrane.
Stainless steel vaccum filter holder consists of lid with ptfe sealing ring, 250 ml funnel base clamp to connect filter section, detachable 47 mm filter disk, silicon gasket ring with rubber cork to connect with 1000 ml borosilicate filter flask.

FAQ's of Vaccum Filter Holders:
Q: How do I assemble and use the vacuum filter holder for laboratory filtration?
A: To assemble, connect the funnel, support base, and vacuum hose via the standard ground joint and clamp. Place the compatible filter (membrane or glass fiber) on the support, secure with the funnel, and ensure tight seals using the clamp and stopper. Apply vacuum using a manual pump to draw liquid through the filter. The device is easy to disassemble for cleaning afterwards.
Q: What types of filters and chemical samples are compatible with this vacuum filter holder?
A: This device accommodates membrane filters and glass fiber filters, making it suitable for a wide range of laboratory and environmental samples. It is highly resistant to acids, solvents, and most chemicals, thanks to its borosilicate glass and stainless steel construction.
Q: When should I choose a sintered glass disc versus a stainless steel filter support?
A: Opt for a sintered glass disc for fine particle retention and analytical purity, particularly with aqueous or organic solutions. Stainless steel supports are preferred for robustness, repeated use, and when filtering viscous or particulate-rich samples.
Q: Where is this vacuum filter holder best utilized in laboratory environments?
A: These holders are ideal for laboratory filtration tasks in research, environmental monitoring, analytical testing, and industrial quality control, delivering reliable results wherever precise liquid filtration is required.
Q: What are the cleaning and sterilization procedures for this filter holder?
A: The components can be easily disassembled and cleaned manually with laboratory detergents. They are autoclavable, allowing for high-temperature sterilization. The borosilicate glass and stainless steel elements provide excellent resistance to thermal shock and wear.
Q: How does using this vacuum filter holder benefit laboratory processes?
A: Utilizing this device enhances filtration speed and efficiency, delivers high accuracy, and accommodates a variety of sample sizes. Its robust construction, user-friendly assembly, and reusability reduce maintenance costs and downtime, optimizing workflow in busy laboratory settings.
Q: What sizes and capacities are available for this vacuum filter holder?
A: The vacuum filter holders are available with 47 mm and 90 mm funnel diameters and capacities of 250 ml, 500 ml, and 1000 ml, offering flexibility for different filtration volumes and experimental requirements.
