Pressure Source Featuring Clean Pressurized Air and Long Life-Span
This lubricated air compressor is a powerful alternative to laboratory gas line supplies. The in-built 5 µm oil filter prevents microdroplets from entering into the instruments. In addition, anti-corrosion treatments of the receiver and long-life synthetic oil utilization makes this pressurized air source the most robust companion for pressure-driven control in laboratories. WPI's microfluidics expert partner ElveFlow specially selected this compressor as the choice for pressure stability and quality output when paired with a microfluidic pump requiring an external pressure source.
