  • Page 7: Eluents

    Intended Use  ® Thanks to the molecular structure of the Teflon AF membrane, only a very small surface is required for degassing the solvent. Thus the risk of carryover during a solvent change is reduced. The special pump design makes it possible to flush the pump head with a small blast of air, to remove solvent fumes, which could escape from the vacuum chamber.
