Separlab Ltd, a Czech Republic specialist in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), standardised on Hydra-Cell pumps for continuous delivery of mobile phase, initially pumping low viscosity organic solvents, both polar and unpolar, but not excluding future use of water solutions.

A Canadian chemical company is using Hydra-Cell pumps to meter concentrated brine solution in a proprietary process.  The brine solution is chemically aggressive – too corrosive for common grades of stainless steel, while pumping pressure and temperature are too high to allow use of plastic-headed pumps.  Hastelloy® metallurgy is therefore used throughout the system.

Seal-less design and a wide range of material options enable  Hydra-Cell pumps to work reliably and durably – easily matching the long duty cycles required on this process. The quiet operation of the pump is also greatly appreciated here as the installation is in a lab environment.
