1Introduction to the Binary Pump

Instrument and Operation

Introduction to the Pump

The binary pump comprises two identical pumps integrated into one

housing. Binary gradients are created by high- pressure mixing. An

optional degasser is available for applications that require best flow

stability, especially at low flow rates, for maximum detector sensitivity.

Pulse damper and mixer can be bypassed for low flowrate applications or

whenever a minimal transient volume is desirable. Typical applications are

high throughput methods with fast gradients on high resolution 2.1 mm

columns. The pump is capable of delivering flow in the range of 0.1 –

5 mL/min against up to 600 bar. A solvent selection valve (optional)

allows to form binary mixtures (isocratic or gradient) from one of two

solvents per channel. Active seal wash (optional) is available for use with

concentrated buffer solutions.
