Premier Control Technologies (PCT) offers a range of dispensing pump technologies tailored to various accuracy needs, from everyday dosing to ultra-precise applications. The choice depends primarily on the required dispensing accuracy and application specifics.
Choosing the right dispensing technology depends on one key factor: how accurately you need to dispense. At PCT, we offer a complete portfolio of pumps and feedback systems designed to meet everything from everyday dosing needs to ultra-precise, high-value applications.
The table below provides the advantages various different low flow dispensing pumps offer along with any considerations which you may wish to consider:
Exceptional accuracy (<1% even at very low volumes) - Long service life — over 100 million cycles - No valves required → continuous, high-speed dispensing - No recalibration needed.
Cleaning cycle may be required when changing dispensing media.
Only one wetted part: the tubing - Each tubing change = virtually a new pump - Certifying tubing = certifying the pump - Learn more in our 25-Step Peristaltic Guide
Requires calibration and recalibration - 1% accuracy possible at very low volumes, but may require a specialised dispensing system rather than a standard solution.
High accuracy at small dispensing volumes (1% or better) - Proven and widely adopted in laboratory and medical systems.
Syringes may need frequent replacement - Valves can introduce reliability issues.
Excellent accuracy for very small volumes (1% or better) - Compact size ideal for integration into instruments.
Typically limited to small volume applications - Valves can cause issues over time.
When precision is absolutely critical, adding a feedback system ensures every dispense is measured and controlled in real time.
Exceptional accuracy (<1% at very low volumes) - No recalibration required - Retains all the benefits of peristaltic pumps.
Excellent for larger volumes with high accuracy - Real-time flow measurement and control.
More wetted parts than peristaltic systems - May require cleaning between dispensing cycles.
Simple, clean design with only one wetted part - Each tubing change provides a "new" pump - Certified tubing = certified pump.
