Protects valves and pump components from damage due to liquids
- Incorporates a hydrophobic PTFE membrane.
- Allows air and gases to pass through freely while blocking aqueous solutions and aerosol contaminants.
- Offers highly effective retention of bacteria with minimal restriction of pump performance.
- Meets OSHA regulations for protection of vacuum lines (29 CFR Part 1910.1030).
- Use between a pump and receiving vessel to protect valves and pump components from damage by aqueous solutions.
- Protects laboratory personnel from potential biohazards, airborne contaminants, and aerosolized oil.
