The UltiMate Micropump is a high pressure pump for HPLC. The standard configuration of the pump includes stainless steel pump head (with titanium inlays) with the capability of delivering from 0.001 to 0.500 mL/min. The Micropump delivers pressurized mobile phase with very low residual pulsation.
The UltiMate Micropump is a component in the LC Packings UltiMate Capillary HPLC system. The pump delivers mobile phase to the UltiMate Solvent Organizer that provides the appropriate flow rate and mobile phase composition for Micro, Capillary and Nano HPLC. It generates a low pressure gradient by controlling the 4 gradient valves of the Solvent Organizer under control of the CHROMELEON Chromatography Management software and delivers the pressurized mobile phase to the mixer. If desired, the UltiMate Micropump could be used as a stand-alone pump for HPLC. While this chapter primarily describes the use of the pump as a component in the UltiMate Capillary HPLC system, it also includes information which should be useful if the pump is used with other devices.
