Pneumatic blower/aspirator function. Injectors etc.
Yours seemsto be coupled to injectors and to be able to perform stream (some flow as well) splitting for minute amounts (needle). It also aspirates. Most pneumatic blowers/injectors do.

Hi Jörgen, did not log on as weekend. I don\'t think there\'s a big difference. Flow and stream practically synonyms and also although \"flow splitter\" would be more appropriate for electrophoresis, T splitters etc. , maintaining constant flow, instead of ensuring equal distribution, it is a term used for \"stream splitters\" as well.
