Fig. 2.1. Model EP-1 Econo Pump.
The Model EP- l Econo Pump is a two-channel, bi-directional, variable
speed peristaltic pump for low-pressure chromatography and general labo
ratory use. It offers a full range of features to facilitate ease of use as a stand
alone pump or as an integral part of the Econo System. As a stand-alone
pump, the Model EP-1 Econo Pump delivers flow rates from 0.l to 40 mumin
with the ability to self-calibrate the flow rate for 0.8, l.6, and 3.2 mm ID
tubing, displaying pump output in ml/min. The pump can be programmed to
control fraction collector parameters such as fraction size, void volume, and
total run volume. A membrane key panel with graphic icon displays allows
easy user interface. When coupled with the Model ES-1 Econo System
Controller, the Model EP-1 Econo Pump will control the gradient run-time,
gradient shape, and peak collection capabilities of the Econo System. When
coupled with the Model ES-1 Econo System Controller and Model EV- 1
Econo Buffer Selector, the Model EP-1 Econo Pump will control up to 5
buffers, automated sample injection, and method cycling.
