Clio Single-Use-Pump's (O-SUPs) all consist of:
The Clio Air-Operated-Diaphragm-Positive-Displacement (AODPD) OneWay-Single-Use-Pump (O-SUP) cell’s consist of a plastic housing integrating a silicone valve body, a PC dome, the silicone diaphragm, and the fluid conveying hoses – all supplied pre-sterilized in dual film bags.

The basics in operation is copied from the human heart functionality:
- Cardiac Output (CO) = total pumped volume, SUP capacity, ml/min (CO = BpM x SV)
- Beats-per-Minute (BpM) = ranging 0 - 30 BpM, SUP diameter/stroke/volume depending
- Stroke Volume (SV) = programmable from 1 - 100% of diaphragm stroke
- Variable velocity = programmable from 0 - >10 m/s





Physical features
- No expensive housing materials compared to traditional steam cleaning requirements
- No mechanical axle seals
- No mechanical rotating parts such as electrical motor, coupling or gears
- No moving ball valves, only fixed passive cross-slit silicone valves
- All simple single-use plastic parts – contamination eliminated
- Low weight and compact design gives OEM manufactures new freedom to design equipment
- Measures accurately pumped volume, a true Positive Displacement pump – no in-line flow-sensor is needed
- All pumps offer infinite turn-down, turn-up scale of 1:5,000
Operating features
- Volumetric operation precision better than 1% - without any extra flow sensor
- Volume per stroke depending on pump size - no minimum volume exist
- Zero spallation / shedding of membrane materials - shear never introduced
- Self-priming from 2 meter suction height
- Standard fluid pressure 2 bar - higher pressure like 3-5 Bar require customized body
- No need for calibration - build in artificial intelligence in Drive Units
- Pump any fluid - any mixture of liquid and gases
- Dry running for extended periods
- Self-emptying, drain on inlet and purge on outlet as the pump will convey gas as well
- Single-use, disposable wetted parts eliminate cleaning issues – just un-pack and exchange without any tools needed
- Very gently operation with no rotating or rubbing parts - no shear introduced between used polymeric materials parts creating nano size particle polluting
- Working pressure as much as 5 Bar on special models makes the SUP suitable for connection with filtration devices
- Two O-SUP pumps (size M80 and M100) able to operate fully controlled and in parallel when connected to Clotho-2
- One of the large pumps (from M140 and up) to operate fully controlled connected to Lachesis
Programming features (on Clotho and Lachesis)
- Select the continuous volume you want to pump – (well, according to pump size)
- Select the total volume you want to pump
- Select the time you want the pump to operate
- Real-time information about pumping, pumped volume and velocity
Maintenance features
- No tools needed replacing the SUP cell - takes only one minute !
- No lubrication needed
- No need to strip down pump for cleaning
- Longevity - tested to last 1 million cycles at 75% CO
Installation features
- Single-Use-Pump cell may easily be part of an all sterile process package
- No tooling needed for Single-Use-Pump cell replacement - one minute operation
Data collection features of Clotho and Lachesis Drive Unit
- On-line operation pressure measured by build-in pressure sensor
- On-line Mass-Flow-Control / metering, the pump measures the volume pumped with better than 1% accuracy - without external flow sensors!
- Data acquisition, data logging
Communication features of Clotho and Lachesis drive unit
- OPC-UA allow connection various software, such as DeltaV, Lucullus, DasWare
- Single-Use-Pump cell's need connection to Drive Unit (requires pressurized air, vacuum and 24 VDC electrical power)
- TCP/IP bus connection or Wi-Fi connection
- All Drive Units operate both as stand-alone or combined with other devices
- Clotho and Lachesis software are easy up-gradable
- Clotho and Lachesis units facilitate a webhost, which allow the user to access the Drive Units via Wi-Fi as well as via IP/TCP from many devices via Ethernet, USB connection (for data export), OPC-UA communication
- Access Clotho and Lachesis via build-in touch sensitive display or connect via Wi-Fi a PAD, Smartphone or PC
Not designed for:
- Viscosity higher than 10,000 centiStoke
- Very abrasive materials for a long time
