Cytiva ÄKTA P-960 Process Sample Pump

The Cytiva ÄKTA P-960 Process Sample Pump is a precision-engineered device integral to the ÄKTA chromatography systems, including the ÄKTAprocess, ÄKTA pure, and ÄKTA avant. It ensures precise, low-pulsation delivery of samples either directly to chromatography columns or into sample loops, optimizing your separation processes.

Key features include a maximum flow rate of 50 mL/min and pressure handling up to 20 bar (2 MPa). It operates at temperatures up to 40°C, providing versatile usage aligned to various laboratory conditions. The sample pump boasts low pulsation operation thanks to stepper motor-driven plungers, ensuring consistent and reproducible flow rates.

Constructed with high-quality, chemically resistant materials like ETFE, PEEK, and titanium alloy, it guarantees durability and long-term reliability. The inclusion of an air sensor ensures that air bubbles are detected and managed promptly, safeguarding sample integrity and eliminating contamination risks.

Regular maintenance is simplified thanks to the availability of a rebuild kit (Part # KDT-1811-9497-N) which includes essential components like check valves and O-rings, facilitating continued performance. Daily calibration is recommended to maintain precision, and the system allows pressure limits to remain below 0.3 MPa during these calibration checks, ensuring safety and efficacy in operation. The P-960 Sample Pump represents an essential piece of laboratory equipment for professionals requiring reliable and precise fluid management in chromatography applications.
