Dual Piston Pump for low pulsation requirements
The ReaXus® LD Class features dual-headed, positive displacement piston pumps designed for chromatography applications, including analytical, flash, and small-scale preparative workflows. These pumps are ideal to deliver precise flow rates with exceptionally low pulsation, meeting the high accuracy requirements of HPLC and other high-performance separations.
Performance and capabilities
The LD Class is available in three flow rate configurations:
- 12 mL/min
- 36 mL/min
- 100 mL/min
These pumps can reach pressures up to 6,000 psi, providing the power needed for both high- and low-pressure gradients. The high-performance linear cams combined with automatic pressure compensation ensure precise, stable flow.
Fluid paths and materials
Standard fluid path materials include stainless steel and PEEK, with optional Hastelloy for corrosive or specialized applications. Jacketed pump heads are available for temperature-controlled processes, enabling precise management of sample conditions.
Key advantages
The LD Class dual piston mechanism, advanced cam technology, and patented low dead-volume Pulse Dampener provide:
- Minimal pulsation for high-precision chromatography
- Stable and accurate flow over a wide operating range
- Reliable performance for both analytical and preparative tasks
- RS-232 and Micro USB connectivity
- Run/Stop functionality
- Analog control (0–10 V, 4–20 mA)
- Full PC monitoring and status reporting
