OverviewThe solution electrospinning process requires dissolution of polymers in organic solvents (examples: DMF, DCM, DMSO). These solvents can form hazardous vapors that must be captured to prevent exposure of machine operators and contamination of the laboratory environment. The activated carbon filter captures VOCs from the machine exhaust and returns cleaned air to the environment.
User benefits- Negligible VOC exposure to the user
- Environmental protection by preventing solvent vapor release
- Easy to install
- Easy to replace filter element
InstallationThe machine exhaust must be connected to the carbon filter, which is placed adjacent to the electrospinning unit. Ensure secure ducting and seals to direct all exhaust through the filter element.
Technical specifications- Captures VOCs from common electrospinning solvents (examples: DMF, DCM, DMSO)
- Prevents release of hazardous solvent vapors into the laboratory
- Installed adjacent to the electrospinning machine and connected to the machine exhaust
- Designed for straightforward installation and filter replacement
- Ensures cleaned air is circulated back to the environment
