Dolomite, a leader in microfluidic design and manufacture based on Royston, UK, has introduced the Mitos P-pump to provide a pulseless liquid flow using a precise pressure-driven pumping mechanism.
With excellent response time and accuracy, such pressure driven flow is ideal for microfluidic systems where highly stable flow is required for applications such as droplet formation, the company says.
The P-pump operates over a pressure range of 0-10 bar and is suitable for use with systems of high fluidic resistance. It has a lockable pressure chamber for safety, which is easily accessible and accommodates standard and non-standard fluid vessels. With the ability to contain samples from 100µl to 30ml, the pump uses fluid directly from the container, producing neither mess nor waste.
The P-pump works with laboratory nitrogen or argon supply, gas bottle or compressor, which makes set-up quick and easy. User control is through an intuitive twist-and-click knob and display.
