Description
The BVV™ Refinement Filter is a stainless steel filtration system that provides large scale, high flow filtering, with greatly improved functionality compared to a traditional Buchner filter. Utilizing a collection base for vacuum assistance and storage of material, the Refinement Filter allows for benchtop filtration with a longer lifespan and ease of use.
Key Features:
- Stainless steel design for greater thermal conductivity and improved lifespan
- Easy to clean and disassemble with Tri-Clamp stainless steel parts
- Small tabletop footprint with wide mouth design
- Secondary collection vessel for vacuum and storage of material
- Liquid dip tube for direct injection into rotary evaporator after filling
- Includes 5' of 3/8" Tygon and 1/4" Gum Rubber Vacuum Tubing
Key Specifications:
- 216 cubic inches of liquid volume (3.5 Liters)
- Dedicated Dip Tube Valve
- Drop-In Filter Plate with 100 Mesh Screen
- Silicone gaskets with high alcohol resistance
- 1/4" and (2)3/8" Stainless steel barb connections
- Polycarbonate sights for easy viewing
Operation Instructions:
- Before beginning filtration, place refinement filter in freezer for best thermal conductivity
- Place Refinement Filter on bench top and secure mesh or filter paper (paper sold separately) with drop in ring.
- Place collection base on floor and connect preferred tubing from bottom of refinement filter to the middle port on collection base
- Attach vacuum system to dedicated vacuum valve
- Begin to pour solution into filter
- Close dedicated dip tube valve and start vacuum
- Once solution has been completely filtered, stop vacuum system and disconnect from dedicated vacuum valve
- Connect dedicated dip tube valve to injection valve on rotovap
- Open dedicated dip tube valve and begin injecting filtered solution into rotovap
