Pumps used in high-vacuum short-path molecular evaporators
Thread Content
I recently saw that a pump is used in the laboratory molecular evaporator at UIC; it can be used in high-vacuum environments. The key feature is that it allows the heavy and light phases to be separated while still enabling the liquid to drop directly into the flask without disrupting the vacuum. There’s probably some kind of one-way valve inside. Here’s a photo – I wonder if anyone knows what kind of pump this is and where it can be purchased. Thank you!
I’m stopping by to learn a bit, thanks
