BioProcess over 1200 Column protection: Bubble trap with bypass valves. Optional automatic vent valve and level sensor for cleaning purposes. Pre-column air sensor protects the column from air bubbles. Pre-column conductivity monitor: Closed-loop gradient control for accurate and reproducible gradients. Flow-through pressure monitor: Protects the system and column from overpressure. Triple-headed diaphragm pumps: Reliable low-pulsation displacement pump, with multi-layer diaphragms. Robust and scalable two-pump configuration for accurate and reproducible gradients. Single pump setup for isocratic or step-gradient production runs also available. As well as our range we offer customized an to meet your
systems worldwide Transmitters: Post column in-line monitoring of flow, conductivity, ph and UV provides important data for analysing and controlling your process. Mass flow meter: Clean flow-through design with no moving parts. Precise measurements independent of fluid characteristics. Valves: Multi-port or zero dead-leg diaphragm valves reduce system hold-up volume. of standard systems, d engineered solutions specific needs.
