A valveless liquid dispensing and metering system utilizes dual fluid metering pumps synchronized to eliminate pulsation present in other piston pump designs. It is suitable for those labs when there is a need to dispense small quantities of liquids with a pulse-free stream.Posted on 17 Jun 2009
The new Smooth-flo PDS100 system is intuitive, menu-driven, and uses convenient front-panel membrane switches and a large liquid crystal display (LCD) display for programming. The system features pulse-free fluid delivery down to 15 μl/min continuous flow. The precision dual stepper controlled pumpheads are calibrated to the users' flow range.
