GoatThroat drum pumps are an excellent option to transfer liquids and handle chemicals for university lab safety. Using our devices for university lab pumps helps to reduce and eliminate hazardous chemical spills and leaks. They are also designed with little need for training to handle or maintenance required. University researchers and laboratory students can confidently perform safe chemical handling procedures with less concern about chemical corrosion damage to seals causing chemicals to leak or vapors to contaminate the air.
Our pumps are designed to last through consistent heavy use for industrial applications. The rigid durability of our pumps makes them an excellent option for university laboratories looking for safe and consistent chemical transfer and handling equipment.
Find the right Pump
University Pump Applications
- Ensure the health and safety of your University laboratory staff and students when handling hazardous chemicals.
- Easily control and monitor your chemical storage and reserve with GoatThroat pump control of flow. Keeping track of hazardous chemicals and waste is essential in following EPA laws and facility safety. GoatThroat can help to find the correct pumps for your chemical handling needs based on our chemical compatibility guide.
University Lab Safety
University Laboratories are home to both experimental research and learning practices. Project resources and chemicals are consistently stored and transferred from location to location to maximize facility usage. This creates a constant possibility of hazardous chemical spills, vapor leaks, and chemical waste exposure. With our hand pumps, your laboratory students and staff can perform lab operations in a healthier and safer environment.
Even with safe and reliable GoatThroat pumps, it is always recommended to take great caution when handling hazardous chemicals or substances. Make use of our Complete Chemical and Liquid Compatibility Guide to find the right pump equipment for your needs or contact us for help.

Laboratory Testing Case Studies
Open Use Storage in a Laboratory Testing Setting GoatThroat Pumps Allow Biopharmaceutical Company to Comply with Open Use Restrictions When a North Carolina biopharmaceutical company?s productivity was limited by the state fire code?s ?Open Use? restrictions, the company?s Environmental Safety Department found itself facing chemical storage challenges at a new level. Engaged in the design, discovery and development of NNR Therapeuticas, a new class of drugs for the treatment of multiple diseases and disorders of the central nervous system, the biopharmaceutical company used chemicals and solvents such as ether, methylene chloride, chloroform, hexane, ethyl acetate, isopropyl alcohol, methanol and toluene in its process. The company?s productivity problem stemmed from fire codes specifying that five-gallon containers of these types of fluids had to be stored on the first floor of their facility, when actually the solvents were needed in the lab on the fourth floor. Safety is Compromised The complicated logistics...
PUTTING SOLVENTS IN THEIR PLACE
Manufacturer Makes Huge Improvements to Chemical Storage Practices Thanks to GoatThroat Old ways of doing business are acceptable today if they comply with regulations and get the job done efficiently. A Florida-based manufacturer was unable to meet both of those goals in its production process for precision wire and ultra-fine wire used in microelectronic and semiconductor applications. "This company's initial challenge was to protect the workers and limit the downside risks of damages, hefty fines and litigation fees, and public relations disasters -- and save money," said Nancy Westcott of Westcott Distribution Inc. The production process uses numerous solvents and coatings that must be transferred from 55-gallon drums to transfer containers. Workers tapped and tipped the drums and then dispensed the chemicals from leaky spigots into open transfer containers,with additional handling required to transfer the fluids to their point of use. The gravity-fed process involved threading a brass fixture into...
