If a rotary vane vacuum pump is used, most compounds used in the
CentriVap will degrade the oil if allowed to enter to pump. Frequent oil
changes are required.
Diaphragm vacuum pumps sold by Labconco have wetted parts either made
from PTFE or protected by PTFE coatings and are suitable for nearly all
procedures.
When using compounds in the CentriVap that are hostile to the materials of
construction, it is imperative that the equipment is appropriately maintained.
After each run, clean up all residues, spills and materials that might have
splashed in the chamber using agents suitable for the substance involved.
