There are several types that can fill your need. Thing is to make  
sure that the composite will work with the solvent in question. To  
this end, You may try the following links:

type in 'siphon pump' on the left side search window (blue color).  
The polyethylene (PE) pumps work well for your transfer.

In fact, my facility has been (until recently) using the PE pumps.  
They are inexpensive and can last for several transfers. Just make  
sure You label each one for each solvent.

Also,

type in siphon pump here as well.

I have previously used Teflon siphon pumps, but these are quite  
expensive.

Hope these help.

Cheers!
