DISPLACEMENT PUMPS

1. Unmatched Resolution and Accuracy

Displacement pumps often offer a high resolution and provide accurate and repeatable fluid control down to the microliter scale. This precision is critical for applications in diagnostics, lab automation, and other fields requiring consistent and exact fluid handling.

2. Flexible Design for Varied Requirements

With three distinct pump families (DP17, DP11, and CP17), IVEK caters to a broad spectrum of needs. Each family is designed to meet specific criteria for volume, flow rate, and physical size. This gives customers the flexibility to select a model that precisely aligns with their system requirements, whether it's minimizing footprint, optimizing flow characteristics, or reducing power consumption.

3. High-Quality Valve Integration

Many displacement pumps use solenoid valves, offering reliable and compact solutions that complement the pump's performance. Depending on the application, options include:

• 2-2 LVM Valves: Ideal for applications needing bidirectional flow control.
• 3-2 LVM Valves: Designed for more complex flow routing, providing increased versatility in managing fluid paths.
• Pneumatic Valves: For specialized cases where pneumatic control is advantageous, providing smooth and consistent operation.

4. Seamless Compatibility with Plastic Manifolds

Displacement pumps generally have a compact design and operational efficiency that makes them well-suited for integration with fluidic manifolds. Plastic manifolds provide a lightweight and cost-effective way to streamline fluid pathways, while displacement pumps can add the precision control needed to manage complex fluid circuits. This integration is especially beneficial in space-limited instruments where every millimeter counts.

Displacement pumps are used across many different fields with notable applications including:

• In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD): Blood analyzers and sample preparation devices rely on IVEK pumps for precise handling and distribution of biological samples.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Precise dispensing and accurate metering are essential for drug discovery and development.
• Biotechnology and Life Sciences: Applications like cell culture and genetic testing benefit from the high-resolution capabilities of IVEK displacement pumps.
• Environmental Testing: Monitoring devices for air and water quality often require robust, reliable pumps for sample handling in rugged environments.
