Keep going. At KNF Lab, we know you’d rather work on your research than on your equipment. Our chemically resistant diaphragm pumps can handle just about any kind of solvent and can run uninterrupted for years. We’ve designed them to keep on going, so you can too. But don’t take our word for it. Ask your colleagues. The following pages include words from some of your laboratory colleagues from around the world. see more online at www.labpumps.com, or call 609-890-8600

“At first I thought that writing a testimonial about a failed item wouldn’t even get considered for publication, but then I figured that after being in the semiconductor maintenance field for nearly 29 years I’ve pretty much seen it all and STUFF just happens, and parts wear. What impressed me about the KNF diaphragm pump was that it had run 24/7, year after year for nearly 5 years before I needed to do anything with it. It was a very quick and easy repair to get right back into production. Now that’s what I like! My vote goes to KNF for an outstanding product.” Dennis Elvin Sr. Assistant...

Pump Systems rotary evaporation KNF laboratory pump systems give you complete control over your vacuum tasks, providing strong flow, precise vacuum control and excellent solvent recovery. Compact and robust, these systems are built to last. Whether you’re setting the system parameters manually or using automatic boiling point detection, ease of operation is a given. Thanks to its wireless controller, the SC920 (shown above, right) offers a host of unique benefits. All system functions can be remotely managed from up to 90 feet away, so installation is a breeze. Place the system inside a...

“We have used pumps from KNF Lab since the mid 1990s and, when we approached the company for more units, they asked us to trial the new remote-controlled SC920 vacuum pump that was soon to be released. Our laboratory was ideal for rigorous testing, with constant exposure to corrosive solvents and some potentially rough handling from students at all levels. We were already more than happy with our old pumps, which are still going strong, but the new system is even better. The new vacuum mechanism makes it even quieter and even stronger than other pumps, and the controller touchscreen and...

LABOPORT® Vacuum Pumps rotary evaporation vacuum ovens The first thing you’ll notice when you turn on the LABOPORT® (model N840.3FTP shown above, right), our most popular laboratory vacuum pump, is that it’s not very noticeable at all. The more you use the pump, the less you’ll notice it. That’s because LABOPORT® pumps, like all KNF pumps, are built to run for years without any attention. Used for a wide variety of applications including rotary evaporation and gel drying, researchers find the versatile pump to be quiet and sturdy – even when continuously running corrosive solvents....

“Our research is concerned with finding and synthesizing novel therapeutics for various cancers. We routinely extract compounds in corrosive, organic solvents and pump them under vacuum to obtain the pure molecules. As such, a high performance pump is an essential tool. Previously, we used oil-lubricated pumps, but these needed significant amounts of maintenance due to corrosive solvents mixing with the oil. After two years, the chemically-resistant LABOPORT® pumps have proven to be very reliable. In fact, they have lasted three times longer than any other pump we have used.” Patrick Bureau...

LABOPORT® Mini Pumps filtration Pictured above are the smaller siblings of the LABOPORT®, the LABOPORT® Mini pumps. These convenient, oil-free pumps are perfect for smaller bench-top applications like filtration. We think you’ll like them because of their light weight and small physical footprint. Although the Mini pumps have less vacuum than the larger models, the corrosion-resistant parts and sturdy design features that are standard to all KNF pumps provide protection against corrosive solvents. If you need steady, reliable vacuum for small bench top applications, the LABOPORT® Mini pump...

“Many of the activities in our chemistry laboratories incorporate suction filtration, where water aspirators were used as a vacuum source for years. These aspirators were often unable to provide a reliable low pressure when all the students in the lab needed to complete a filtration. After trying one KNF LABOPORT® pump on a trial basis, the department has chosen KNF pumps as the vacuum source in all laboratories. Soon, the chemistry department will be moving into a new ‘green’ building, where managing water consumption will be a priority. All of our new laboratories will be outfitted with...

Liquid Pumps transfer When you need to move liquids quickly and accurately, KNF Liquid pumps can keep things clean and simple in your lab. Our liquid pumps provide you with precise control, so you don’t have to “eyeball” the correct volume anymore. The programmable SIMDOS® pump is pictured above. With just a few clicks of the knob and taps of the button, the intuitive, easy control allows for tasks like dosing, liquid transfer and metering to be streamlined and simplified, so you can get on with the good stuff – your research. Also available are LIQUIPORT® pumps for transfer and STEPDOS®...

“ To develop full-scale manufacturing processes, we need to start with a fundamental understanding of the process on a laboratory scale. Pumps are used in pilot plants and in full-scale production, therefore it is useful to be able to simulate this environment in the laboratory. It is important to have pumps of the right size for this kind of work, and having good control is much safer too, especially with very exothermic reactions. KNF liquid pumps give us the control we need over the addition rates and it is a major advantage to be able to mimic a plant in a laboratory environment, with...
