MC6000 (Multichannel Pump)

The TriContinent MC6000 is a multi-channel syringe pump designed for multiple probe liquid handling applications. This pump introduces an industry exclusive feature of rotary shear valves for optimum liquid handling performance. Our long-life valves were specifically designed and manufactured by TriContinent for multi-channel syringe pump applications to completely eliminate inherent performance limitations (clogging, pumping and leaking) associated with solenoid valves.

Competitive Advantages

  • Long-life rotary shear valves (no solenoid valve limitations)
  • Integrated bypass capability
  • Full quadrature encoder for absolute syringe positioning
  • Available in 4, 6 or 8 channel syringe configurations
  • Full stroke resolutions from 6000 to 48000 steps
Liquid-handling products and instruments certificates rohs
