Thermo Scientific

Functional Description

The Surveyor MS Pump Plus is a quaternary, low-pressure mixing pump with built-in solvent
degassing and pulse dampening systems. The pumping system provides optimum
performance in the lower flow rate ranges needed for mass spectrometry. You can run precise
gradients from 25 to 2000 μL/min. An extremely low gradient delay volume of 80 μL ensures
minimum system cycle times. The integral vacuum degasser offers superb solvent degassing
efficiency with less than 500 μL of volume, and the pulse dampener produces stable flow rates
with only 3 μL of delay volume.

The Surveyor MS Pump Plus is a bench-top unit for inclusion in the Surveyor high
performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC). It is remotely controlled by way of an RS232
serial communication link from a computer using Microsoft Windows NT-based Xcalibur
software (version 1.3 or higher). The only manual control on the pump is a power switch.

The Surveyor MS Pump Plus (see

) has three major components: the vacuum degasser

assembly, the liquid displacement assembly (LDA), and the pulse dampening assembly. In
addition, the MS pump contains status LEDs, a low voltage power supply, and several printed
circuit boards (PCBs).
