Laboratory pumps for high-pressure applications
This company has recently launched two new Smoothflow Q Series Pumps (photo) for laboratory use, and they are now available for sale. One of the new pumps is a high-pressure type and the other is an autoclave (AC) series designed for sterilization. The Q series pumps are small enough and light enough to be held in the palm of a hand, but powerful enough to provide discharge pressure up to 2.0 MPa, and precise enough to configure flowrates at units of 0.01 mL/min. The pump design allows for constant flow without pulsation, no liquid leakage or changes in properties, and because of its unique design, the pump is not damaged by dry running. They are suitable for dispensing, constant-cycle injection, gradient mixing, linked transfer of multiple liquids, flow-proportional injection and program control. — Tacmina Corp., Schaumburg, Ill.
