Besides the XXS2000 it contains an electronic pump control with integrated frequency generator and allows a quick and easy set-up of the pump.

The XXS2000 is made of plastic and pumps liquids up to a few milliliters per minute. Barely larger than a coin of one inch in diameter, the pump weighs just three grams and is self-priming. These features and its low power consumption make the pump suitable for a wide scope of application fields ranging from diagnostics, drug discovery, or environmental monitoring to household appliances and miniaturized fuel cells. Due to its modular set-up, the pump may be adjusted to changing specification requirements. The wetted parts are micromolded from COC (cyclo-olefin co-polymer), a plastic material with good chemical resistance, and assembled by laser welding.
