The pump is shipped with a mixing system, comprising the following mixers:

  • Capillary mixer

    In the capillary mixer, the solvent streams delivered by the pump are combined and premixed.

  • Static mixer

    The static mixer improves the mixing quality.

Mixing with capillary mixer and static mixer results in smoother baselines.

The pump is shipped with the following mixing system:
