This tiny pump has a footprint of less than 2 in2 and delivers truly pulse-free flow in the challenging 250 nL/min to 10 µL/min flow rate regime. ePump® is also ideal for dispensing applications and can deliver discreet volumes of fluid from 100 nL to 90 µL. Its small footprint, smooth flow, high precision, and affordability make this little pump perfect for microfluidic and lab-on-chip applications as well as micro-assay systems. The intuitive, user-friendly controller can be tailored to your application with options ranging from full user control of the flow rate and dispense volume to factory pre-set flow rates or dispense volumes.
How it works: The ePump® product line offers an unrivaled combination of truly pulse-free precise flow, small footprint, low power requirements, and affordability. The pumping mechanism, common to all ePump® products, utilizes a patented non-mechanical means for precisely moving very small amounts of fluid. Low voltage or current drives a pumping fluid across a selective membrane. This, in turn, causes an elastic diaphragm to expand and push a controlled amount of fluid to your microfluidic application. The result is very precise and pulse-free flow using a pump that is compatible with a wide range of biological and chemical reagents and solvents.
