We have been using Scientific Systems Inc. We have been using Scientific Systems Inc. column packing pumps in our day to day column packing pumps in our day to day operation with very good success. They have operation with very good success. They have proven to be reliable, easy to use, and very proven to be reliable, easy to use, and very durable throughout the 3 years that we have durable throughout the 3 years that we have been using them. I recommend them for any been using them. I recommend them for any constant pressure column packing where a high constant pressure column packing where a high success rate is key.success rate is key.
