The Model KDS 330 Pump is designed to emulsify Adjuvant 65 for a water-in-oil emulsion containing antigen in peanut oil with Arlacel A and aluminum monostearate as the emulsifying agent.

The KDS 330 is ideal for creating viscous fluids/suspensions. This is accomplished by forcing fluids back and forth through a micro-emulsifying needle. The pump eliminates the fatigue and time required to manually prepare emulsions.

The KDS 330 is ideal to prepare an adjuvant/antigen mixture to the correct viscosity ready for injection. The pump is simple to use and set up. Through the menu driven program the user enters the syringe diameter, the flow rate and selects a dispense volume.

The KDS 330 automatically performs the calibration and control functions. When in emulsion mode, the pump cycles from infusion to withdrawal continuously. The unit automatically infuses the preset volume and withdraws the preset volume.

The pump is based on the Model KDS 210 in continuous mode for cycling back and forth and is specifically designed for a 10cc glass syringe and emulsion needle. Two syringes and needles are supplied with the pump.
