Minipuls 3 peristaltic pump

Description

Gilson's Minipuls 3 is a peristaltic pump, designed for transferring fluids with a high level of speed stability and a low pulsation level. It has many applications, including the following:
• transferring solutions, emulsions, suspensions, and gases at up to 200 °C.
• propelling liquids through chromatographic systems against a back-pressure of up to 500 kPa (for example, when controlled by a Gilson fraction collector.
• automation of biological analyses by proportionally mixing a sample with several reagents (flow injection analysis).
• continuously sampling the components of a production process (reactors, fermenters, and so on).
• formation of gradients (concentration, pH, and so on).
The Gilson Minipuls 3 is powered by a hybrid stepper-motor and controlled by an integral microprocessor by using the front-panel keypad. It can also be remotely controlled from a master device, such as an IBM® PC, or by electrical contacts.
The main components are as follows:
• The speed control module containing
a die-cast sub-chassis onto which
is mounted the stepper-motor, and
its controller board (microprocessor).
• An interchangeable pump head.
•A back panel assembly consisting of
an L-shaped plate onto which are
mounted the power supply assembly,
the cooling fan, and control sockets.
•A keypad and LCD unit.
