The heart of the lab
Fluid Management System
SPuMP (Space Pharma Microgravity Minituarized Pump), D-Pump (Diaphragm Pump) and Multiplexed Pump are new miniaturized, accurate pumping systems, developed for SpacePharma’s microgravity research activities in space.
Unique features
Built for harsh environment
Non-pulsating, positive displacement pumping
Bubble-free operation
Provides accurate flow rates in range of 10-500 microliters/min
Built in temperature control (heating and cooling) for pump and reservoir.
Comprehensive Flow Management Possibilities
The SPuMP is a 2 ml syringe pump operated by a step-motor. The syringe reservoir is temperature controlled. Up to 4 SPuMP-s can be separately controlled from one main controller.
The D-Pump is a diaphragm pump with temperature-controlled 1.2 ml reservoir. It is hydraulically driven by a SPuMP, acting as an accurate hydraulic driver.
The Control board, manifold and valve systems enable independent Operation of 4 SPuMPS, each driving two D-Pumps, acting together as a Multiplexed pump, where each D-Pump is operated independently with repeating pumping-refilling
SpacePharma’s Fluid management system has concluded 6 tours to the International space station and 3 parabolic flights.
