Overview
The Sanotac TSP3010 is a high-pressure, dual-plunger constant flow pump engineered for precision fluid delivery in demanding laboratory and pilot-scale applications. It operates on positive displacement principle with parallel dual-piston architecture, delivering stable volumetric flow across a wide dynamic range—from low-flow analytical conditions to high-throughput process feeding. Its design integrates solvent compressibility compensation and multi-point flow calibration algorithms, enabling traceable accuracy under variable backpressure conditions typical in preparative liquid chromatography, catalytic reaction systems, supercritical fluid processing, and electrochemical energy research. The pump is rated for continuous operation at 10 MPa (1,450 psi) with peak pressure capability up to 42 MPa (6,090 psi), making it suitable for both high-resolution separation workflows and robust chemical synthesis environments.
Key Features
- Dual-plunger parallel drive system with microprocessor-controlled timing and phase offset, minimizing pulsation amplitude and enhancing long-term flow stability.
- Advanced cam-profile compensation combined with real-time electronic pulse suppression to maintain pressure ripple below ±0.2% RMS across the full operating range.
- Floating plunger mechanism reduces mechanical stress on high-pressure seals, extending seal life by up to 3× compared to fixed-plunger configurations; compatible with FDA-compliant elastomers (e.g., Kalrez®, Chemraz®) upon request.
- Modular wetted-path construction: interchangeable pump heads available in stainless steel (316L), titanium (Grade 2), PTFE, PCTFE, Hastelloy C-276, and PEEK—each certified for compatibility with aggressive solvents, halogenated media, and high-pH caustics.
- Open communication protocol (Modbus RTU over RS-485, optionally TCP/IP) supports integration into third-party chromatography data systems (CDS), SCADA platforms, or custom LabVIEW/Python control environments without proprietary drivers.
- Onboard memory stores ten user-defined methods—including flow rate ramps, gradient profiles (isocratic, linear, step, and composite), and hold segments—with timestamped execution logging compliant with GLP audit requirements.
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The TSP3010 accommodates diverse fluid chemistries, including aqueous buffers, organic solvents (acetonitrile, THF, DCM), supercritical CO₂, molten salts, and corrosive reagents (e.g., HF, fuming nitric acid when configured with Hastelloy or PTFE wetted parts). All material variants conform to ISO 8503-2 surface roughness standards for fluid-contact surfaces (<0.4 µm Ra). The pump meets CE marking requirements per Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU. Optional 21 CFR Part 11–compliant firmware enables electronic signatures, audit trails, and role-based access control for regulated pharmaceutical and biotech applications.
Software & Data Management
The embedded controller provides local HMI navigation via a 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen with intuitive icon-driven menus. All method parameters—including flow setpoints, gradient time programs, pressure limits, and valve switching logic—are exportable as CSV or XML files for version control and cross-platform validation. Remote monitoring and control are supported via industry-standard protocols: Modbus TCP, OPC UA (with add-on module), and RESTful API endpoints for cloud-based telemetry integration. Raw flow and pressure logs are time-stamped with NTP-synchronized UTC timestamps and stored onboard (8 GB internal flash) with automatic rollover and SD-card backup option.
Applications
- Preparative and semi-preparative HPLC/UHPLC systems requiring scalable flow delivery from 10 mL/min to 10 L/min.
- Catalyst injection and co-reactant metering in continuous-flow reactors and autoclave-based batch synthesis.
- Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and extraction (SFE) using CO₂ or CO₂/co-solvent mixtures.
- Electrolyte dosing in battery electrolyte formulation labs and fuel cell membrane hydration studies.
- Polymer foaming extrusion lines where precise gas/liquid ratio control impacts cell morphology.
- Geochemical simulation rigs involving high-salinity brine or acidic reservoir fluid injection under elevated temperature/pressure.
FAQ
What is the maximum continuous operating pressure for the TSP3010?
The pump is rated for continuous operation at 10 MPa (1,450 psi); short-term excursions up to 42 MPa are permissible per ISO 5171 burst testing certification.
Can the TSP3010 be integrated with Agilent or Waters chromatography software?
Yes—via its open Modbus protocol or optional OPC UA gateway; no proprietary drivers required.
Is gradient programming limited to linear profiles?
No—the onboard controller supports isocratic holds, linear ramps, multi-step gradients, and user-defined composite curves built from segmented linear approximations.
Are wetted materials certified for USP Class VI or EP 3.1.9 compliance?
PTFE, PEEK, and titanium configurations carry USP Class VI test reports; full extractables/leachables documentation available upon request for GMP validation.
Does the pump support automatic solvent compressibility correction?
Yes—built-in solvent library includes >35 common mobile phases; users may also define custom compressibility coefficients based on published bulk modulus data.
