QED Launches New Peristaltic Sampling Pump with Precise Flow Control
Following a series of successful trials in both the U.S and U.K., the MicroPurge® MP100 is set to join the company’s comprehensive range of groundwater sampling solutions.
Dexter, MI (January 22, 2024) - QED Environmental Systems, Inc., a leading manufacturer of innovative environmental sampling products and subsidiary of Graco Inc. (NYSE: GGG), has announced the launch of the MicroPurge® MP100 peristaltic pump system for low-flow groundwater purging and sampling.
Following a series of successful trials in both the U.S and U.K., the MicroPurge® MP100 is set to join the company's comprehensive range of groundwater sampling solutions.
The MP100 system can produce flow rates of up to 1,500ml per minute and lifts up to 9 meters (30 feet) using standard silicone tubing sizes. The MP100 features an efficient motor and pump head, offering precise flow control from zero to maximum to grant the user maximum control over the purging and sampling process.
David Kaminski, Senior Vice President at QED Environmental Systems, said: "Our new MicroPurge® MP100 system has been designed with the user in mind. Every aspect of the pump - from the choice of materials to the battery life - has been designed for practical operation in the field. We have received excellent results from field testing both in the U.S. and the U.K, so look forward to seeing how this is received by the wider market."
The new pump is ideally suited for sampling PFAS, due to the water sample only making contact with the drop tubing in the well. The MP100 is offered with disposable pump tubing and drop tubing for portable applications, or can be configured with an available well cap and tubing weights for dedicated applications.
QED's new peristaltic pump has been specially designed for operation in the field, with a rugged, high-strength molded case for added protection. The brushless DC motors offers a long battery life with low power consumption, allowing more work to be completed between charges, while the voltmeter on the panel allows battery charge status to be checked at a glance.
Featured Product
Photophyll™ Select from CREE LED
Photophyll Select is a new phosphor-converted LED color with blue and green spectral output tuned for horticulture applications. These LEDs are designed to replace the white LEDs that are common in two-channel white + red horticulture luminaires. By maximizing green content and minimizing red content versus standard lighting LEDs, this LED color enables significant enhancements to luminaire cost and performance. Photophyll Select LEDs are the industry's first LEDs to be entirely binned in horticulture metrics, enabling more straightforward spectrum design without confusing translations or conversions. The spectral output of these LEDs is binned into two metrics, both of which are based on the amount of PPF in standard Blue (400-499 nm), Green (500-599 nm) and Red (600-700 nm) bands. The two spectral metrics are percentage of Red PPF content and the ratio of Green to Blue PPF content.
