Estimating the term…
A device which includes a pulse dampener and a degasser or de-bubbler. The device includes a fluid flow path and a fluid chamber located within the device. In addition, the device includes a pulse dampening membrane for dampening pulses in the fluid as it flows through the device. The device also includes a degassing membrane for degassing the fluid as it flows through the device, and/or a de-bubbling membrane for removing gas bubbles from the fluid as it flows through the device. The degassing or de-bubbling membrane can be separate and distinct from the dampening membrane. The de-bubbling membrane can be in addition to or in place of the degassing membrane in some embodiments.
A device comprising:
A device comprising:
A system for pumping, testing, or analyzing liquids, comprising a device having a body having a first port and a second port, wherein said body has a chamber therein in fluid communication with the first port and the second port, a dampening membrane, wherein at least a first portion of said dampening membrane defines a top portion of the chamber in said body and at least a second portion of said dampening membrane is secured to said body, and a second membrane, wherein at least a first portion of said second membrane defines a bottom portion of the chamber in said body and at least a second portion of said second membrane is secured to said body, wherein said second membrane comprises a degassing membrane, a de-bubbling membrane, or a permeable membrane.
