How the Jule Gradient Formers work in automatic pumping mode:
The Jule Gradient Former can be automatically operated
by connecting it to a
peristaltic pump.
Step 1: Remove
pistons.
Step 2. Fill each cylinder with fluids to be mixed.

Step 3: Insert pistons, start magnetic stirrer and pump.

As the pump draws liquid out of the Gradient Former,
a vacuum is created within the Gradient Former and the dual pistons follow
the liquid downward, keeping the fluid levels equal in each cylinder. By
keeping the fluid levels equal in each chamber a near perfect linear gradient is
formed. Unlike gravity flow type gradient formers, air bubbles cannot stop
the flow.
