      A new level of accuracy for precision liquid handling

      The Cavro Centris Pump is a premium compact syringe pump module for use in OEM laboratory instruments, setting new standards for accuracy, reliability and precision. It has a broader working volume range from a single syringe size than comparable OEM pumps, enabling you to do more with one pump than ever before.

      Offering extremely precise flow rate control, the Cavro Centris is the perfect fit for microfluidic, chromatography, flow cytometry and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) instruments requiring smooth liquid flow with very low pulsation.

      In addition, the high resolution Cavro Centris allows ultra-high precision for small volume pipetting to support assay miniaturization.

      Highlights

      • Excellent accuracy and precision at low volumes saves precious reagents
      • Robust and reliable design results in long life and less maintenance
      • Innovative drive mechanism offers broader dynamic range

      Superior pipetting performance

      The Cavro Centris Pump’s high efficiency stepper motor and drive mechanism enable flow rates from under 5 nl/s up to 5 ml/s. This ensures excellent low volume liquid handling performance, while still offering the necessary speed and power to enable high volume applications.

      Innovative and reliable by design

      The Cavro Centris Pump’s simple and rigid mechanical design with few moving parts ensures exceptional reliability. Depending on the needs of your application, you can select from a broad range of ceramic or plastic valves and ceramic or glass syringes. Long-life ceramic components offer almost no resistance or wear of the valve or piston pump, resulting in greater longevity compared to conventional syringe pumps.

      Alternatively, high quality glass and plastic components maintain premium performance benefits while reducing cost for applications which do not require the exceptional durability offered by a ceramic fluid path, allowing you to tailor the Centris Pump to your exact system requirements. Optimized motor drive electronics deliver whisper quiet operation, especially for slow dispense applications. The compact dimensions of the Cavro Centris Pump give it the smallest footprint of any OEM syringe pump, and the optional mounting kit provides maximum flexibility for easy hardware integration.

      Superior longevity

      The durable, long-life drive mechanism in the Cavro Centris Pump will last over 5 million cycles*, offering good reliability and reducing preventive maintenance costs. High quality parts also help to ensure the pump is relatively maintenance-free, keeping downtime to a minimum.
