Sterlitech is happy to announce the latest addition to its line of Vacuum Pumps: The Chemker 600 Series Chemical Resistant Vacuum Pumps! 

Features:

1. High chemical resistance
   All wetted parts of the Chemker 600 series pump are made of PTFE material which can resist most corrosive gases.
   
   
2. Start against vacuum
   Chemker 600 series pumps, designed to start against vacuum, are ideal for various kinds of laboratory instruments that need to stop and restart the pump repeatedly during the operating process.
   
   
3. Vacuum regulator / Moisture trap
   The Chemker 611 is equipped with a vacuum regulator and moisture trap used to adjust the vacuum level and collect condensation to prolong the life of the pump.

Vacuum pumps are a versatile piece of laboratory equipment for suctioning via negative pressure. They are routinely used in biological sciences for filtration, distillation and concentration of volatile solvents, solid phase extraction, freeze drying, and more. Even though vacuum pumps share a common function, there are many considerations to take into account when choosing a new pump. The following article will explain some important attributes to look for when comparing different vacuum pumps.
