Continuous Flow Technology

Life science instrument designers face many challenges when integrating a fluid dispensing system into an instrument. Many instruments on the market use a single positive displacement dispensing pump because they are compact and easy to integrate. These systems force designers to make several compromises, because pump displacement volume, pressure handling, flow rate and flow duration are all interrelated.

First, they have to choose between flow rate and flow duration: single-pump systems inherently do not offer unlimited flow duration. Second, an instrument designer has to choose between pressure handling capacity and pump displacement volume. Larger displacement pumps can dispense for longer, but pressure capability decreases as the piston diameter increases.

How can you achieve precise, stable flow rates with unlimited flow in your liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry instruments?

IDEX Health & Science has a long history of developing custom solutions that provide continuous flow with a simple control interface, which we call continuous flow technology.

This technology comprises two pumps that dispense alternately, with the handover coordinated by closed-loop control. By integrating our continuous flow technology into an instrument, liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry professionals can ensure that all fluidic functions are controlled via the instrument's user interface. This increases automation and reduces tedious manual steps for lab staff. Achieving the ideal fluid dispensing system is possible with IDEX Health & Science continuous flow technology.
