Our wide range of research projects covers the whole spectrum of chemistry and as a result we use a lot of ether. Its fumes are, of course, very soluble and over half would end up down the drain with water aspirators.We needed to find a better method to increase our solvent recovery yield. Based upon conversations with colleagues in university and industrial research laboratories we learned that KNF pumps had a good reputation, and therefore, chose them for our labs. Not only have they proved to be very quiet, but, more importantly, they have helped us to significantly increase our solvent recovery yield to more than 98 percent. These pumps have been extremely well received by both our undergraduate students and our scientific researchers.
