Micropump

A micropump for conveying liquids and gases.

The advantage of this development is the combination of the peristaltic principle with a cost-effective modular construction of diaphragm pumps.

Features:

• bidirectional conveyance of the materials
• integrated flow stop
• exchangeable fluidic part
• single-digit target price

The minimum or maximum volumetric flow ratios are dependant on the type and size of the shaped hose being used. The same applies to the requirements regarding material resistance, the achievable intake pressure, the maximum pumping pressure and the longterm behaviour of the pump.

Based on the principle of these prototypes the pumps can be adapted to individual customer requirements as far as the application, the possibilities of installation and the design are concerned.

Possible applications of the micro pump in medical technology are:

• laboratory technology
• analysis automats
• diagnostics
• lab-on-chip technology

The micropump is a development of the two companies DNE GmbH/Schnaittenbach and 2E mechatronic.
