1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Econo Gradient Pump (EGP) 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
Duo-Flow System running software version 3.0 or later..

As a stand-alone pump, the EGP delivers flow rates from 2

µl/min to

40 ml/min using a single channel of 0.51 mm or dual channels of 3.2
mm ID tubing respectively. The EGP has the ability to self-calibrate
the flow rate for 0.51, 0.8, 1.6, and 3.2 mm ID tubing, displaying pump
output in ml/min. The pump can be programmed to start or stop
Bio-Rad fraction collectors and chart recorders.

A membrane key panel with graphic icon displays allows easy user
interface. The EGP will store one program in its non-volatile memory.
