Introduction

Fig. 2.1. Model EP-1 Econo Pump.

The Model EP-1 Econo Pump is a two-channel, bi-directional, variable

speed peristaltic pump for low-pressure chromatography and general
laboratory use. It offers a full range of features to facilitate ease of use as a
stand-alone pump or as a part of the BioLogic System. As a stand-alone
pump, the Model EP-1 Econo Pump delivers flow rates from 0.1 to 40
ml/min with the ability to self-calibrate the flow rate for 0.8, 1.6, and 3.2
mm ID tubing, displaying pump output in ml/min. The pump can be
programmed to control fraction collector parameters such as fraction size,
void volume, and total run volume. A membrane key panel with graphic
icon displays allows easy user interface.
