A
Accuracy
Degree to which the result of a volumetric flow in a syringe pump conforms to the correct value or a standard
C
Connectivity
Ports and options to connect to or communicate with another computer or computer system
Classification
UK classification for electrical groups or categories according to established criteria
D
Deviation
The amount by which a single measurement differs from a fixed value such as the mean
Display “LCD Screen”
Interface where pump status and input can be seen on the device – In this case, the system is controlled through a Touch screen LCD
Dimensions
Length, depth, & height – Chemyx portable syringe pumps are one of the most compact on the market today
E
Error
A deviation from accuracy or correctness
H
Humidity
Relative humidity (RH) is the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor to the equilibrium vapor pressure of water at a given temperature.
I
Infuse
Function to positively displace fluid over time
Installation Category
L
Linear Force
Is a one-dimensional pushing force supplied by the pushing block. Linear force is reduced by syringe seals, viscosity of fluid and general maintenance of the pump.
M
Mode
Chemyx Pump Movement Modes:
Infuse – positive displacement of fluid
infuse/withdrawal – positive or negative displacement of fluids
cycle – push/pull reciprocating movement to allow for continuous flow
Minimum Flow Rate
Is the minimum amount of fluid that flows in a given time
Maximum Flow Rate
Is the maximum amount of fluid that flows in a given time
Motor Drive
A mechanical system that includes an electric motor and drives a machine – Chemyx uses Stepper Motors as the primary drive mechanism due to the accuracy of precision of control
Micro-stepping
Is a method of moving the stator plug of the stepper motor more smoothly than it is in the full or half step drive mode
N
Non-condensing
When operating Chemyx products it is important that there is no change from vapor to liquid. If this occurs shut off the pump and un-power the product until dry.
O
Operating Temperature
The Chemyx portable syringe pump will operate effectively within a specified temperature range which varies based on the device function and application context and ranges from the minimum operating temperature to the maximum operating temperature
R
Reproducibility
Is the ability of an entire analysis of an experiment or study to be duplicated, either by the same researcher or by someone else working independently, whereas reproducing an experiment is called replicating it.
RS232 Port
Is one of many methods of connecting a Chemyx portable syringe pump to a computer
Regulatory Compliance
Is an organization’s adherence to laws, regulations, guidelines, and specifications relevant to its business
S
Syringe Size
Is the maximum or minimum syringe that is allowed to be used with a Chemyx syringe pump
Syringe
A tube with a nozzle and piston or bulb for sucking in and ejecting liquid in a thin stream
Stepper Motor
Is a brushless DC electric motor that divides a full rotation into a number of equal steps
Step Resolution
Is the distance the pushing/pulling block moves per micro-step of the stepper motor. This is considered the “sensitivity parameter” of a portable syringe pump.
Storage Temperature
Refers to the temperature at which the device can be safely stored when the device is not powered
T
TTL Port
Non-digital input/output methods of connecting a Chemyx portable syringe pump to a computer or simple switch
U
USB-B Port
Chemyx supports USB connectivity to a computer
V
VAC
Volts Alternating Current (VAC)
W
Withdraw
To negatively displace fluid over time
