Thermo Scientific Dionex SP-5 Single Pump Analytical
SP Pump with proportioning gradient (analytical only) configuration. The pumps support standard bore, microbore, and capillary applications. Gradient configurations at analytical flow rates provide low-pressure mixing of up to four mobile phases per pump at precisely controlled proportions and flow rates.
Single Pump Features • Variable-speed, serial dual-piston design delivers consistent flow rates and quiet detector baselines
• Pressure ripple < 1.0% at analytical flow rates
• Pump flow components are chemically inert, made with high-quality PEEK™ heads and fittings, inert polymer seals, and sapphire pistons
• Automated integrated piston seal wash prolongs seal lifetime by preventing eluent crystallization on the seal surfaces
• Pump assemblies slide out for easy access and serviceability
• User-selectable pressure limits automatically stop pump flow in the event of leaks, flow restrictions, or depleted eluent reservoirs
• Front panel indicates the status of power, pump flow, priming, connectivity (Chromeleon Control), and alarms
• Quaternary proportioning and a low volume mixer deliver reproducible eluent mixtures (analytical only)
• Linear, concave, and/or convex gradients are possible (analytical only)
• Vacuum degas provides sealed, in-line degassing for flow reproducibility
Enhances optical or mass sepctrometry (MS) detection performance by integrating column temperature regulation with injection valves, substantially improving thermal stability and reducing extra-column volumes.
