The FlowCal 5000 Digital Liquid Flow Meter is compact, robust, and accurate at low flow rates making it indispensable for IQ/OQ/PQ and calibration of HPLC systems. SOUTH ORANGE, NJ – February 6, 2007 - Tovatech LLC today announced the FlowCal 5000 Digital Liquid Flow Meter, a new tool designed for calibration of HPLC system flow rates. The FlowCal 5000 Liquid Flow Meter is an indispensable tool for chemists, metrologists, and validation specialists responsible for HPLC calibration and qualification. Miniaturized to just one third the size and weight of other models, the FlowCal 5000 is the most compact and easy to use unit available today. The flow meter measures flows accurately to 1ìl/minute with guaranteed linearity from 0.05 to 25.00 ml/min. Flow rate is measured by volume and is independent of the liquid type up to a viscosity of 10 centipoise.The FlowCal 5000 substantially reduces HPLC pump troubleshooting time. Leaking piston seals or malfunctioning check valves are easily diagnosed. No user calibration is required; the unit is supplied gravimetrically calibrated at 1.0 (±1.0%) ml/min. Calibration at multiple points is available. A UKAS traceable calibration certificate is supplied with every flow meter (UKAS is the UK equivalent of NIST). All wetted parts are made of PTFE, PEEK, DAI-EL, PERFLUOR, or Pyrex glass making the liquid flow meter inert to all common HPLC mobile phases. There are no wetted metallic parts.The FlowCal 5000 simplifies the collection of flow rate data for HPLC calibration, qualification and validation (IQ/OQ/PQ) in FDA-regulated laboratories. Flow rate data can be output to any device fitted with an RS232 serial interface (eg. printer, terminal or PC). A new miniature thermal printer is available for use with the HPLC liquid flow meter. The printer will print all readings and error messages output from the flow meter via the built-in RS232 interface. The printer is powered by batteries that are continuously recharged when connected to the flow meter power supply. The FlowCal 5000 is supplied with a carrying case with foam inserts, a cleaning kit, and a universal mounting kit.About Tovatech LLCTovatech LLC is a distributor of laboratory equipment to the US, Canada, and Mexico.
