When delivering smaller particles through the liquid mobile phase of a HPLC unit, the liquid must be forced through the column under pressure. The purpose of an HPLC pump, also called a solvent delivery system, is to force the liquid through the system while maintaining a specific flow rate. HPLC pumps can be broadly categorized into three types: syringe pumps that provide pulseless delivery, reciprocating or piston pumps that push the mobile phase through with a series of pistons, and pneumatic pumps that use gas to pressurize the mobile phase. Reciprocating pumps are most common due to their good pressure generation, constant flow rate, and small footprint, but each type of pump has its pros and cons that should be weighed when purchasing. Other things to look out for when selecting a pump include the instrument’s compatibility with different solvents, low dead volume to minimize issues with solvent changeover, delivery method (either isocratic or gradient), as well as things like price, ease of use, and lifetime.

Features:Experience our LC-40B XR pump, a binary, high-pressure gradient solvent delivery unit that incorporates two pumps into one compact unit, with no compromises in gradient accuracy or retention time reproducibility. The space-saving design is an ideal choice for binary gradient separations.
Features: - Unique FlowPilot technology ramps up the pump flow gradually, waits for the column to reach its set temperature, then ramps to the set flow rate, reducing potential column damage from pressure shock.
- FlowPilot automatic diagnostic and recovery capabilities allow monitoring of pressure fluctuations for anomalies, restoration of normal operation, and can also alert users of low solvent levels.
- The pump can display total operating time, volume of solvent delivered for each seal, and maintenance, error and operation logs
- Users can set solvent compressibility to further reduce pulsation during operation
- Can be controlled by the LCD front panel keypad, web browser, and various HPLC and LC-MS/MS software.
- External valve option to supply 2 different solvents to each pump.
- Includes a rinse kit to wash behind the seals to minimize salt precipitation if buffered mobile phases are used.
