Q-Grad Pump
The Q-Grad Pump provides high-pressure quaternary gradients for many HPLC applications.
High Pressure Gradient at Low Pressure Cost
The Q-Grad Pump provides high-pressure quaternary gradients for HPLC applications. Four high-performance pumps are packaged into a single cabinet. The result is high-pressure gradient capability that is as economical as low pressure mixing systems.
Reliability and Simplicity
The Q-Grad Pump uses a very efficient pulse damper mixer to ensure high performance gradients. A prime-purge valve and upper and lower pressure limits are also standard. All SSI pumps carry a 3-year warranty.
Integrates Into Automated Systems
External synchronization from an injector or autosampler may be enabled through the pump control option using standard TTL or contact closures. The Q-Grad Pump is fully integrated into systems which utilize popular system-control software suites.
Simple, Effective Gradient Control
Our stand-alone keypad controller (System Control Unit SCU-460) gives you full gradient control of the the Q-Grad Pump. Or, the Q-Grad may be integrated into an existing system that utilizes popular system control and data acquisition software.
Either way, the Q-Grad supports Run/Stop inputs and real-time pressure monitoring. Each option is designed to be user friendly. You choose the interface that fits your needs.
