OEM Products & Services
OEM Products
IVEK Corporation manufactures fluid handling products for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) or Integrators. This product line includes includes displacement pumps, rotary/reciprocating pump modules, autopipettors and sub-components. All piston/cylinder sets or piston/valve/cylinder sets are made from ceramic. Available pump case materials include 316 stainless steel or Tefzel. Fluid path materials are ceramic, Tefzel, Teflon and/or sapphire. These modules can be mounted with 23 and 17 frame motors as required.
AutoPipettor
IVEK’s AutoPipettor offers enhanced liquid aspirating, dispensing and aliquoting performance. A close-fitting ceramic-on-ceramic piston and cylinder set coupled to a stepper motor linear actuator that yields outstanding accuracy, precision and reliability.

Displacement Pumps
IVEK’s Displacement Pumps accommodate fluid volumes ranging from sub-micro liter through 5mL. Various actuator sizes (NEMA 8, 11, 14, 17), lead screw pitches, ceramic piston sizes, valve options, sensors, encoders and part configurations are customized for each fluidic protocol. Ceramic-on-ceramic piston and guide bearings provide enhanced seal life, and seal wash parts are incorporated for aggressive fluids.

Metering Pumps
IVEK’s rotation/reciprocating Metering Pumps are designed for routine accurate fast liquid flushing/washing and continuous flow operations. Ceramic piston and cylinder and Teflon are the only wetted components. Compact size and price make the Metering Pump a suitable replacement for peristaltic and displacement pumps in many OEM instrumentation and manufacturing applications.
