SiPPer PUMP MoDUle
overview
The Sipper Pump accessory is based on a programmable peristaltic pump that can be set to repeatedly
deliver accurate, controlled volumes of sample into a flow through cuvette.
This enables a single flow through cuvette to be used for many applications, removing the need to
decant samples into individual cuvettes, the need for washing re-usable glass or quartz cuvettes or for
maintaining stocks and disposing of single use plastic cuvettes.
Many types of flow through cuvettes are available for different applications. Please contact Jenway for
additional information or advice.
By injecting a controlled air-gap between samples when used in the segmented mode, very small
sample volumes can be ‘pushed’ into the chamber of a micro flow through cuvette. Where viscous or
oily samples persist in the sample chamber the air-gap segment can be completely or partially replaced
with a wash solution.
Setting and calibration of the uptake volumes is easily carried out using the interactive menus and
graphic user interface on any of the 67 Series spectrophotometers.
