Achieving a continuous, pulse-free flow for viscous reagents and high-pressure applications requires specialized rotary engineering. The VWR Digital Gear Pump, featuring MasterflexLive technology, utilizes interlocking gears to deliver precise volumetric displacement without the fluctuations common in standard pumps. As the premier high-performance solution in our liquid handling ecosystem, this system provides the steady-state delivery needed for complex dispensing and analytical workflows.
Precision Performance with VWR Digital
Our featured digital gear pump is designed for technical accuracy and modern laboratory connectivity:
- Cloud-Enabled Remote Monitoring: The VWR Digital Gear Pump with MasterflexLive allows you to monitor and adjust pump parameters 24/7 via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, providing peace of mind for long-running processes.
- True Pulseless Delivery: This gear-driven system provides a virtually non-pulsating flow, which is critical for flash chromatography and delicate dissolution testing.
- Advanced Dispensing Modes: Utilize the intuitive touchscreen to program volume dispensing, time dispensing, and copy modes with accuracy levels of ±0.1%.
- Chemical and Pressure Resistance: Compatible with magnetically coupled pump heads that ensure a completely sealed chamber, capable of sustaining high differential pressures while handling corrosive liquids.
