A single pharmaceutical facility can run a dozen pump applications under one roof, and speccing a different pump for each one carries a hidden cost: more types to validate and stock, hours lost to maintenance, disposable pumps to revalidate after every run, and cleaning you have to prove every time. This white paper outlines how one hygienic, air-operated double-diaphragm platform can carry API synthesis, chromatography, and product transfer, and explains exactly where it fits and where it does not.

What's Inside

• One platform, three applications. Why an AODD pump that runs on compressed air (no motor or gearbox) is safe in solvent areas and versatile enough to cover synthesis, chromatography, and filling, so you spec and stock fewer pump types.
• Match the material to your chemistry. When halogenated solvents and chloride ions pit stainless-steel, and how choosing 316L stainless-steel or Hastelloy® protects your product from metal-ion contamination.
• 15-minute maintenance, not two hours. How a tool-free, single-nut strip and rebuild compares with the roughly two hours and up to 30 bolts of a conventional AODD design, and what that means for chromatography schedules and disposable-pump revalidation.
• Cleaning you can prove. How an accessible, self-draining, CIP- and SIP-capable pump chamber lets a microbiology specialist open it and swab wetted surfaces for microbial testing, instead of trusting a design buried in piping.
• Traceability by serial number. How individually tested and certified pumps give quality teams the documentation and traceability ASME BPE requires.
