Description
The BVV™ 5 Gallon 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
Key Specifications:
- Large 6" Diameter x 12" Long Dewaxing Column
- 5 micron Sintered Stainless Steel Filter Disc
- 100 Pack of 6" Ashless Filter Paper (BIO-1-180)
