Pumps engineered around
your instrument — and your roadmap.
OEM partnership isn't a checkbox at CRS Scientific. It's our entire business model. We co-develop and manufacture piston pump modules for chromatography instrument brands across the analytical, preparative, biopurification, and process markets.
Four pillars of a working OEM partnership.
Engineering co-development
Your application engineers work directly with our mechanical, fluidic, and firmware teams. We share CAD, signal definitions, and bench data — not marketing decks.
Configurable platform
Standard CRS-HP, CRS-FB, CRS-MBio, and CRS-LP architectures cover 95% of OEM requirements. The remaining 5% — head materials, plunger size, electrical interface, mounting plates — is what we configure for you.
Audit-ready manufacturing
ISO 9001 production with serialized traceability, calibration records, and EOL-resistant component sourcing — so your QMS auditor never finds a gap.
Long-term supply commitment
We structure 3–5 year supply agreements with active component planning. If a critical part goes EOL, our team owns the qualification of the replacement.
From first conversation to volume shipments.

1
Discovery
Share your application: flow envelope, pressure, solvents, footprint, communication protocol, regulatory targets. Our engineers respond with a recommended platform and configuration within two business days.
-
2
Engineering samples
Receive configured engineering samples — typically within 6–8 weeks — alongside CAD models, electrical pinouts, sample firmware, and a draft integration guide.
-
3
Integration support
Our applications engineers join your bring-up calls. We help debug fluidic, mechanical, and software integration on your platform. Yes, including video calls into the lab.
-
4
Pilot production
Small-batch production with full traceability, calibration records, and a first article inspection report tailored to your incoming QC protocol.
-
5
Volume manufacturing
Multi-year supply agreement, capacity reservation, EOL monitoring, and field reliability tracking. Quarterly business reviews keep delivery and quality transparent.

6
Lifecycle support
Spares, refurbishment programs, and revision control for your installed base. When the next-generation platform launches, we plan migration paths with you.
The questions OEM customers ask first.
What's the typical MOQ for an OEM configuration?
For a standard platform with minor configuration (electrical interface, mounting, label), we ship from 25 units. Custom mechanical or fluidic configurations typically start at 100 units annually with a 3-year commitment.
How long from spec to engineering samples?
Standard configurations: 6 weeks. Configurations with custom mechanical or fluidic changes: 8–12 weeks. We share weekly status updates throughout NPI.
Can you private-label the pump with our brand?
Yes — laser engraving, custom serial number formatting, and OEM-branded firmware identifiers are standard offerings on every CRS platform.
Do you support regulatory submissions?
We provide the documentation packages your QMS team needs: material declarations, biocompatibility statements (USP Class VI), CE/RoHS/REACH conformity, and traceability records. For IVDR or FDA submissions, our engineering team supports your filings directly.
What happens if a critical component goes EOL?
CRS owns the qualification of the replacement. We notify customers with 12 months of lead time, qualify the change against your acceptance criteria, and absorb the engineering cost as part of our long-term supply commitment.
Can you supply spare parts and refurbishment?
Yes. We maintain spare parts inventory for the active product life plus seven years. Refurbishment programs are offered for high-value preparative and process-scale platforms.
