Microfluidics – new 5μl micro dosing pump delivers precision & reliability

Listen to this article

Recent developments to the Bürkert product range has seen the new type 7615 micro dosing pump launched as well as developments to the complimentary valve range.

The new, self-priming, diaphragm pump has been designed for precise dosing in the microlitre range and combines high dosing accuracy and precision with chemical inertness.

With the valve body made from PEEK (Poly ether ether ketone) and seals available in FFKM and EPDM, the pump is suitable for a wide range of neutral as well as aggressive liquids.

The new pump is designed with 3 valves which can be operated to allow pumping in two directions as well as being simultaneously opened to allow flushing of the pump.

The dosing quantity ranges from a minimum of 5μl per stroke up to a maximum of 8ml per min in both directions. With an accuracy of less than ±2%, the new pump is ideal for precise dosing of the smallest quantities of liquids.

The 7615 is an addition to the existing type 7604 micro pump, which is a unique, self-priming, adjustable, diaphragm pump measuring only 11mm in width and designed for continuous pumping applications in the 1-5ml per min range.

Requiring either 12 or 24 VDC supply and with a low power consumption of just 1.5W, this pump is well suited to mobile devices using a battery for the power source. With similar valve body and seal materials, the type 7604 is also ideally suited for use with aggressive media.
