KNF LABOPORT N 96 mini diaphragm vacuum pump, chemical-resistant, speed-controlled, 7 l/min, 322806

Compact performance for the laboratory workstation: KNF LABOPORT ® N 96

The KNF LABOPORT ® N 96 redefines what a compact laboratory pump is capable of. With MPN 322806, you get a highly flexible system that has been specially developed for applications where space-saving design, chemical resistance and precise control are required. Despite its very small footprint, this mini diaphragm vacuum pump delivers impressive performance and is ideal for filtration, solid-phase extraction (SPE), the removal of liquid supernatants or as a fore-vacuum pump for turbomolecular pumps.

Chemical resistance meets maintenance-free operation

A key advantage of the N 96 is its choice of materials. The pump head is made of robust PPS (polyphenylene sulphide), the diaphragm is PTFE-coated and the valves are made of FKM. This combination makes the pump extremely resistant to aggressive gases and vapours. Unlike oil-lubricated rotary vane pumps, the diaphragm principle of the N 96 operates 100 per cent oil-free. For you, this means: no contamination of your samples by oil vapours, no disposal of waste oil and completely maintenance-free operation in day-to-day laboratory work. You can transfer, evacuate and compress samples accurately and cleanly.

Integrated speed control for gentle processes

The LABOPORT ® N 96 is not simply ‘On’ or ‘Off’. It features integrated speed control, which is operated intuitively via a rotary knob on the top. This allows you to adjust the flow rate continuously to suit your process – from gentle suction right through to full power. The visual status indicator is particularly innovative: the colour of the LED lighting on the rotary knobs changes depending on the operating status (e.g. standby, operation), so you can see immediately – even from a distance – what the pump is currently doing.

Quiet, low-vibration and space-saving

In modern laboratories, space is at a premium and noise is a nuisance. The N 96 scores highly in both respects: with its extremely compact design, it fits into any nook or directly into the fume cupboard without blocking valuable worktop space. Thanks to its advanced diaphragm technology and brushless DC motor, it also operates very quietly and with minimal vibration. This is easier on the user’s nerves and allows for concentrated work right next to the unit.

Versatility in application and pressure

Although primarily known as a vacuum pump (ultimate vacuum < 130 mbar abs.), the N 96 can also be used as a compressor, delivering a working overpressure of up to 2.5 bar. The flow rate of up to 7 litres per minute (at atmospheric pressure) ensures rapid results during filtration. The plug-in power supply with wide-range input allows for use worldwide.
