There are three types of pump modules: Rotary, Linear and Multiplex which are used for different applications depending upon the customer's fluidic needs. These pump modules function differently however, they share the same basic features that result in a low maintenance pump module:
- mated, serialized piston/valve/cylinder sets
- tight clearance
- minimal Friction
- low fluid shear
- withstand routine autoclaving and sterilization procedures
- chemically inert to most acids, alkalines or solvents do not affect the ceramics
- extremely hard, resist abrasion and wear
- no external seals needed due to tight clearance of piston/cylinder
- titanium end cap press fit onto piston
- eliminates adhesive contamination problems
- low maintenance
- flushing gland available to help eliminate binding issues with certain fluids
