How to define a laboratory instrument fluid-control requirement
Selecting a component supplier begins with the fluid task and the information needed to validate a component in your instrument. This company overview introduces FOREACH; the selection notes below help turn that overview into a specific technical discussion.
Separate transfer, dispensing and monitoring
A transfer pump, a pipetting mechanism and a fluid-monitoring sensor perform different jobs. Define where each component sits in the liquid path before comparing products or assembling a shortlist.Prepare the operating conditions
Provide the liquid, working flow and pressure, required volume or repeatability, cycle timing and cleaning method. These inputs are more useful for configuration review than a product family name alone.Plan component and instrument verification
Use the selected product's specifications, drawings and interface information for component assessment. Then verify the assembled fluid circuit under its actual operating conditions; a company overview is not an instrument qualification report.

These two starting points illustrate different tasks: continuous liquid transfer and controlled pipetting. Continue to the complete product range when the task requires other pumps, valves, connectors or sensors.
