Fluidics Design Expert Helps Leading Pump Manufacturer Improve Liquid Pump Connections


Fluidics design expert Diba Industries, Inc has helped pump manufacturer KNF-Flodos improve fi ttings connection performance for its Simdos®


02 diaphragm liquid pump.


KNF manufactures a range of OEM liquid and gas pumps for medical devices and ink-jet printing as well as stand-alone laboratory pumps. The new Simdos®


02 dosing pump was designed to handle hazardous


acids, bases and organic solvents in the laboratory environment. During prototype testing, KNF engineers discovered leaking caused by fi ttings not staying tight inside the smooth PTFE valve ports. Vibrations from the pump aggravated this problem, causing fi ttings to unscrew from (or back themselves out of) the ports under normal operation. With the Simdos 02 pump’s intended use to handle aggressive and caustic chemicals, fl uid containment was critical.


Changing the pump material from PTFE was not an option, as PTFE was required for its inert qualities when exposed to solvents and acids. KNF also found that fl ares on the tubing assemblies were not fi tting tightly into the ports, disrupting the fl uid path and contributing to the leaking.


To fi nd an alternative connection and address these problems, KNF turned to Diba Industries. After analysing the problem, Diba suggested glass-fi lled polypropylene fi ttings, which bite into the threads on smooth ports made of PTFE. Diba provided a complete tubing assembly with its fl ared tubing and glass-fi lled polypropylene fi ttings to ensure a leak-free connection.


Since adopting Diba’s tubing assemblies, KNF has been able to successfully launch the Simdos 02 with no reported leaks in the fi rst two years. “Simdos®


02 has been a very successful product,” said KNF Marketing Manager, Jean Delteil. “We spent a long time studying the market, so it has lots of good features, but if it didn’t have the right tubing and fi ttings it would not have been so successful.”


KNF-Flodos is a world-leading supplier of diaphragm liquid pumps, designing and manufacturing high-quality and innovative products. The company specialises in producing custom pumps for OEMs and also support a range of standard laboratory pumps. KNF has four production sites globally and a liquid pump product design centre in Sursee, Switzerland.

New Microinjectors Provide Optimal Sample Control The new CellTram®


4 Air and CellTram®


4 Oil from leading life science company Eppendorf raise the


4 Air is a pneumatic injector ideal for gentle holding of cells or embryos in suspension. At the same time it is highly suitable for the uptake and injection of cells (e.g., of sperm or ES cells). Therefore, users can set up their workstation with air injectors on both the holding and injection side and conduct microinjections entirely oil-free. Additional new features of the CellTram 4 Air are the dual coarse/fi ne drive, and the piston position scale, which allows setting the injector’s pressure characteristics according to personal preference.


bar in terms of ease of use and performance for manual microinjectors. The CellTram®


The CellTram®


4 Oil is optimal for users who prefer the direct responsiveness of an oil-fi lled injector. It features a new oil-fi lling system that minimises oil spills and helps save time during the fi lling process.


Both models have been designed with special emphasis on excellent ergonomics, ease of use and high precision. They also feature improved accessories, such as a scaled capillary holder 4 for reproducible mounting, and a new grip head 4 for easier capillary exchange and better user safety. For transgenic customers, a new capillary holder 4 (slim shape) is available that allows for injecting at angles <15° in combination with Eppendorf manipulators. Flat angle injections can help minimize mechanical trauma, thereby contributing to higher survival rates of the injected cells.


In Europe, the CellTram® 4m Air and Oil are registered as medical device (according to Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC).


Dr Rudolf Walczak, Global Product Manager Cell handling, said: “Eppendorf has served as expert partners to embryologists and microinjectionists for more than 30 years. We are happy to offer our customers the new and highly improved CellTram 4 injectors. We are dedicated to helping them achieve the best possible results, both in research and in clinical applications.”
