ICS-3000 Dual Pump (DP) and ICS-3000 Single Pump (SP)
With flow rates ranging from 0.001 to 10.0 mL/min and operating
pressures up to 35 MPa (5000 psi), the DP/SP is designed for both
standard bore and microbore applications. The pump’s patented isokinetic
pre-compression phase allows a precise, almost pulse-free flow.
The SP contains one isocratic pump or one gradient pump. The DP
contains two gradient pumps, two isocratic pumps, or one isocratic pump
and one gradient pump.
The isocratic pump delivers one eluent, while the gradient pump can
deliver gradient mixtures of up to four eluent components. The selected
eluent composition can be delivered as isocratic, isocratic proportioned,
linear ramp, step, curved, or any combination of these.
With a DP, the second pump can be operated as a second-channel
chromatography pump, an auxiliary dependent pump, or an auxiliary
independent pump.
ICS-3000 Detector/Chromatography Module (DC)
The DC provides a temperature-controlled environment for ICS-3000
chromatography components. The DC can accommodate components for
two channels, plumbed either serially or in parallel.
The following components may be installed in the DC:
• Conductivity detector
• Electrochemical detector
• Injection valves
• Switching valves
• Guard and separator columns
• Suppressors
• ICS-3000 Automation Manager
