took mine apart,of course. they  are vane pumps. all metal rotor and vanes. o ring to seal the  cover,so could use for bio. may have to change the o ring though. they are all metal construction with plastic gears. look well made and sturdy. should last ok. will test tomorrow. i took photos of the inside will post the link when i work out how to.
