Syrris has launched the Asia syringe pump designed specifically for flow chemistry.
The Asia syringe pump is rated to 20 bar (300lb/in2) and is highly chemically resistant, using PTFE (and other fluorinated polymers) and glass.
The compact module offers two independent continuous flow channels, each with an integrated pressure sensor and a flow rate range from 1.0ul to 10ml/min.
With the ability to provide a smooth flow rate, the pump is only 23cm wide, which Syrris said makes it ideal for in-lab use.
Furthermore, the replacement of components such as valves, syringes or pressure sensors is said to be quick and easy, without the need for any tools.
Produced to high specifications, flow rate and volume can easily be controlled using the intuitive front panel, or via the Asia PC software.
The PTFE pressure sensor ensures safe operation by automatically stopping the pumps in the case of over pressure.
Specifically designed for use with the Asia syringe pump, the Asia pressurised input store enables four reagents to be stored under an inert gas atmosphere.
As a result, an ultra-smooth flow is delivered due to the 1 bar pressure, reducing the formation of gas bubbles.
