The BVV™ 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 Includes 5' of 3/8" Tygon and 1/4" Gum Rubber Vacuum Tubing Key Specifications: 216 cubic inches of liquid volume (3.5 Liters) 20 Liter Collection Base Dedicated Vacuum Valve Dedicated Dip Tube Valve Drop-In Filter Plate with 100 Mesh Screen Silicone gaskets with high alcohol resistance 1/4" and (2)3/8" Stainless steel barb connections Polycarbonate sights for easy viewing Operation Instructions: Before beginning filtration, place refinement filter in freezer for best thermal conductivity Place Refinement Filter on bench top and secure mesh or filter paper (paper sold separately) with drop in ring. Place collection base on floor and connect preferred tubing from bottom of refinement filter to the middle port on collection base Attach vacuum system to dedicated vacuum valve Begin to pour solution into filter Close dedicated dip tube valve and start vacuum Once solution has been completely filtered, stop vacuum system and disconnect from dedicated vacuum valve Connect dedicated dip tube valve to injection valve on rotovap Begin rotovap procedure Open dedicated dip tube valve and begin injecting filtered solution into rotovap
