Vapourtec launches the SF-10+ lap pump, an enhanced version of its SF-10, featuring new applications including the ability to pump hot reagents.
The pump boasts enhanced temperature control and can be heated to temperatures between ambient and 80C, as well as allowing the inlet and outlet tubes to be heated to the same temperature. All components are heated to prevent cold spots, and temperatures set via an easy-to-use touchscreen interface or via serial data commands.
The SF-10+ can manage reagents that are solid at room temperature but liquid at higher temperatures and can be used to pump products from either batch or flow reactors that could precipitate upon cooling. Reagents can be pumped prior to flow crystallisations or in higher concentrations and viscosities.
The latest features enhance a product that already offers high levels of chemical compatibility with suspensions, light slurries and gases, operating up to a 10 bar pressure and delivering precise measurement and data. It is also compatible with a range of electrical interfaces.
Vapourtec’s Dr. Manuel Nuño explained: “The SF-10+ builds on the benefits of the original pump with the principal advantage of being capable of dealing with hotter reagents which can be used to, for example, dose viscous reagents into a batch vessel or pumping them into a flow reactor.”
