General Description

The HPLC Pump K–1001 features a double-piston design with active pulsation
dampening. It is capable of delivering solvents with very low residual pulsation.
The HPLC pump K-1001 is delivered with the new inert pump heads with
ceramic inlays. Two different pump heads are available:
• Analytical pump head (0.001 – 9.999 ml/min),
• Preparative pump head (0.01 – 50 ml/min).
These heads combine the features of the older stainless steel versions with
those of the PEEK ones and replace both from now.
The new features are
• Inert, biocompatible.
• The 10 ml pump head is pressure stable up to 400 bar.
• The 50 ml pump head is still pressure stable up to 150 bar.
• The sealings are easily accessible due to the new splitted design.
Four different older pump heads can also be used with the HPLC pump K–
1001. These are the analogous stainless steel and PEEK versions respectively:
• Analytical pump head (0.001 – 9.999 ml/min), stainless steel
• Analytical pump head (0.001 – 9.999 ml/min), PEEK
• Preparative pump head (0.01 – 50 ml/min), stainless steel
• Preparative pump head (0.01 – 50 ml/min), PEEK
Pump heads can be interchanged by loosening only four screws. Experienced
users can disassemble the heads for simple maintenance tasks like cleaning,
changing piston seals etc. The easy-to-learn user interface of the HPLC Pump
K–1001 provides access to the integrated software. It supports quaternary high
pres-sure gradient systems via a master / slave configuration, where up to three
additional K–1001 pumps can be controlled.
The optional Solvent Organizer K–1500 adds support for quaternary low
pressure gradients. Its internal mixing valves, available in either stainless steel
or PEEK, can be controlled by the HPLC Pump K–1001.
Most KNAUER Software Packages, like ChromGate
digital remote control of any configuration of KNAUER solvent delivery systems,
enabling full and transparent integration of the HPLC Pump K–1001 pump into a
wide range of chromatographic systems.
