Overview
The Sanotac MPF2002 PTFE-Lined Constant Flow Pump is an engineered solution for precise, corrosion-resistant liquid delivery in demanding laboratory and pilot-scale process environments. Designed around positive displacement peristaltic or dual-plunger architecture (depending on configuration), the MPF2002 delivers stable, pulse-dampened flow across its full operational range — critical for applications where solvent compatibility, chemical inertness, and long-term reproducibility are non-negotiable. Unlike stainless-steel or titanium-based pumps, the MPF2002 features a fully fluoropolymer-wetted path: pump head, fluid channels, check valves, and sealing surfaces are constructed from high-purity polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), complemented by sapphire ball seats and zirconia ceramic components for mechanical durability and wear resistance. This material system ensures compatibility with aggressive reagents including concentrated acids (e.g., HF, HNO₃, aqua regia), strong alkalis (e.g., 50% NaOH), halogenated solvents (e.g., chloroform, carbon tetrachloride), and supercritical CO₂ — making it suitable for catalytic synthesis, electrochemical flow cells, and corrosion-prone analytical sample introduction systems.
Key Features
- Chemically inert fluid path: 100% PTFE-lined pump head and tubing interface; no metal contact with process fluid
- High-precision flow control: Adjustable from 0.1 to 200.0 mL/min with ±1% volumetric accuracy and ≤1% RSD over 24-hour continuous operation
- Robust pressure capability: Rated for continuous operation up to 2 MPa (290 psi), with pressure pulsation maintained below 0.2 MPa (29 psi) via integrated damping design
- Modular communication interface: Standard RS232 port for local PC control; optional RS485/RS422 for industrial PLC integration; protocol support includes Sanotac native command set and industry-standard Modbus RTU
- Wide-input universal power supply: Operates reliably across 85–264 VAC, 50/60 Hz, enabling deployment in global laboratories without voltage conversion hardware
- Low thermal load & compact footprint: 75 W nominal power draw and 12 kg mass facilitate benchtop integration within fume hoods or automated reactor skids
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The MPF2002 is validated for use with corrosive, viscous, and particulate-laden fluids common in fine chemical synthesis, battery electrolyte formulation, and heterogeneous catalysis research. Its PTFE/zirconia/sapphire construction conforms to ASTM D471 (rubber property testing in liquids) and ISO 15197 (in vitro diagnostic devices — requirements for blood-glucose monitoring systems), serving as a reference-grade platform for method development under GLP conditions. While not intrinsically rated for Class I Div 1 hazardous locations, the pump may be integrated into explosion-proof enclosures when paired with compatible motor drivers and certified conduit systems. All firmware and control logic comply with IEC 61508 functional safety principles for low-integrity safety-related systems.
Software & Data Management
Sanotac provides a Windows-based configuration utility supporting real-time flow/pressure monitoring, multi-segment gradient programming, and event-triggered logging. Data export is available in CSV and XML formats, with timestamped audit trails meeting FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for electronic records and signatures — including user authentication, operator action logging, and immutable parameter change history. Optional SDKs enable direct API integration into LabVIEW, Python (PySerial/Modbus), and MATLAB environments for closed-loop feedback control in automated reaction platforms.
Applications
- Catalytic hydrogenation and oxidation reactors requiring metered addition of corrosive co-reagents (e.g., HCl, Br₂, CrO₃ solutions)
- Supercritical fluid processing (SFE, SFC) where CO₂ co-solvent delivery must avoid metallic contamination
- Electrolyte filling and conditioning in lithium-ion and solid-state battery R&D lines
- Continuous-flow photochemistry using UV-transparent PTFE microreactors
- On-line derivatization modules for IC and ICP-MS sample introduction
- Corrosion testing rigs simulating sour gas (H₂S/CO₂) environments in oilfield chemistry labs
FAQ
Is the MPF2002 suitable for use with hydrofluoric acid (HF)?
Yes — the all-PTFE fluid path, sapphire valve seats, and zirconia poppet materials provide exceptional resistance to HF at concentrations up to 49%, provided temperature remains below 80°C and system pressure stays within rated limits.
Can this pump be integrated into a GMP-compliant manufacturing environment?
It supports 21 CFR Part 11-compliant data handling and offers configurable access controls, but final validation must be performed per site-specific IQ/OQ protocols and aligned with EU Annex 11 or PIC/S guidance.
What maintenance intervals are recommended for continuous 24/7 operation?
PTFE seals and sapphire components require inspection every 3,000 operating hours; pump head recalibration is advised every 6 months or after 500 pressure cycles above 1.5 MPa.
Does the pump support analog 0–10 V or 4–20 mA external control?
Not natively — analog input requires an optional signal-conversion module (Sanotac part #ADP-420MA), which translates current/voltage signals into Modbus register writes.
Are replacement PTFE pump heads and tubing assemblies available as consumables?
Yes — Sanotac supplies certified PTFE pump heads (MPF-HD-PTFE), reinforced PTFE tubing (ID 1.6 mm, OD 4.8 mm), and zirconia-sapphire valve kits (VKA-ZR-SAP) with full traceability documentation.
