There are three options on the PAL for delivery of large volumes of solvent. Choice will depend on the requirements for delivery rate, delivery volume and accuracy. In each case these pumps can dispense liquid either through PAL side-port syringe, or using the LEAP "Dispense Tool" accessory. The advantage of the latter is that it permits larger flow rates and includes a venting channel to avoid over pressurization in the case of filling sealed vessels.

The patented* Cheminert® M Series liquid handling pump is a syringe-free pump capable of delivering a bidirectional flow to six orders of magnitude. The M Series is a positive displacement pump, which means that it is self-priming and tolerant of any gas which may find its way into the fluid lines. Since there is no separate fill cycle, the pump can be operated continuously, and volumetric capacity is limited only by time.
+
The Mini Pump liquid handling pump is a syringe-free pump capable of delivering a bidirectional flow to six orders of magnitude. The Mini Pump is a positive displacement pump, which means that it is self-priming and tolerant of any gas which may find its way into the fluid lines. Since there is no separate fill cycle, the pump can be operated continuously, and volumetric capacity is limited only by time.

The flow range can be from less than 1 ul to over 25 mL/min

Overview

There are currently multiple LEAP Technologies preferred options on the PAL for delivery of large volumes of solvent. Choice will depend on the requirements for delivery rate, delivery volume and accuracy. In each case these pumps can dispense liquid either through PAL side-port syringe, or using the LEAP "Dispense Tool" accessory. The advantage of the latter is that it permits larger flow rates and includes a venting channel to avoid over pressurization in the case of filling sealed vessels. A PAL controlled selector valve can supply multiple reagents thru the same dispense port.

Common Uses

  • Dispense liquid prior sample injection and combines the "add liquid" and "inject" steps without user intervention or syringe change.
