Pump Features
Page 32
The pump includes the following main features:
•
Two-channel pump with each channel based on a dual-piston in-
parallel design
•
Independent drive for each piston for high accuracy and increased
flexibility
•
Active piston seal wash system for high lifetime of pistons and piston
seals
The piston seal wash system keeps the pistons wet and rinses the
piston seals automatically. This prevents crystallization and particle
deposits on the piston surfaces and seals, which may damage the
components.
•
Solvent selector "2 from 6" for increased flexibility
•
Purge unit for easy and automatic purging
•
Built-in vacuum degasser for enhanced flow stability and best
detector sensitivity
•
Easy access to the user-serviceable components and tool-free
maintenance procedures for fast and reliable maintenance
•
Easy maintenance because the pump remains in the Vanquish
system stack
