With the recent acquisition of Ismatec pumps from IDEX Health and Science, Cole-Parmer has expanded its fluid handling and analysis products business.

The independent channel control (ICC) pumps provide lower pulsation, better reproducibility, and a longer tubing life. Variable flow and bidirectional capabilities in each channel add to their flexibility. The uniqueness of the ICC allows for individual channel calibration.

A much desired feature-computer compatibility-enables users to monitor the pumps remotely, make adjustments, and gather and analyze measurement data.

Ismatec pumps are ideal for dissolution testing in pharmaceutical dosing, chromatography applications, the addition of a reagent to a reactor, and a variety of research and development purposes.

Single-channel Ismatec Reglo Quick pumps offer quick tubing changes while Flowmaster pumps are designed for heavy-duty processes and increased hygienic requirements.

"I'm very excited about this acquisition as Ismatec expands our depth of micro flow products complementing our Masterflex Product Line. Ismatec has unique pump heads which reduces damage to cells, useful in biotech applications. Reglo ICC, is another unique potential multichannel pump in which each channel has variable flow adjustment." - said Rakesh Aggarwal, Managing Director - Asia Pacific, Cole-Parmer.
