Pompes
The ability to control the flow rate of fluids and/or to combine several fluids in a perfectly controlled manner is critical to most chemical manipulations, as well as medical applications. Our company has developed various mechanisms able to achieve such tasks with great precision. These devices, as well as the validation and quality tests listed hereafter were designed in our offices. Manufacturing and assembly are performed at our production facilities. The products are delivered with specific control and test protocols designed in collaboration with each customer to meet high end certification requirements.
PA8 device
The PA8 pump is used in chemistry for HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography)
and similar applications. This device is designed to be able to mix fluids
at very high pressure (> 400 bar) with a microliter accuracy and by minimizing
dead volumes. Such a pump reproducibly delivers gradient flows from 1500µL/min
down to 25µL/min without splitting. Such characteristics are reached
by having pistons working in a composite way (controlled by cam shafts).
For biocompatibility purposes, the distribution head is made of inert material
such as titanium, sapphire or peek (not represented in the figure). The
device is integrated into the Rheos 2000 and Rheos 2200 Instrument from

The CC3 and CC4 device
The CC family of pumps are used to generate the high pressure required to
mix fluids. A patent-protected technique allows to get the pressure multiplication
required to achieve such a fluid mix in optimal conditions.
The RM107
The RM107 is used in the medical field as part of dialysis systems (hemodialysis,
peritoneal dialysis and acute dialysis). It is in charge of actuating the
peristaltic pumps. As such, the RM107 offers optimal solutions to several
design issues (unidirectional pumping action, high torque, etc.) as well as
several user-related constraints (low noise generated to contribute to patient's
comfort, high fiability, etc.). More than 5000 units have been produced by
our company, with the latest generation launched in the early 2004. This device
is integrated in several of the renal products line of Gambro
(Phoenix, Integra, etc.).
