Peristaltic pump

Non contacting

The pump does not come into contact with the fluid, the fluid passes only through the pump silicone tubing. This offers great liquid compatibility, as well as maintaining the sterility of the fluid and the pump.

Self-priming

Peristaltic pumps can draw fluid into the tubing when starting dry. This requires a user to fill pump and suction lines with fluid before use which can be inconvenient and also create potential for hazardous spills or contamination.

Highly configurable

Many tubes exist in many different sizes and materials. This allows for a large range or flow rates as well as good compatibility with lots of fluid.

Gentle pumping action (low shear)

Makes a peristaltic pump ideal for handling cells and large proteins, as the pumping action will not damage the content.

Variable speed

Available on some peristaltic pumps, ideal for dosing applications and dispensing applications.

Non-siphoning

Peristaltic pumps prevent back flow into the system thus increasing accuracy during dispensing.

No contamination

• Fluid only contacts the bore of the tubing
• Fluid does not contaminate the pump
• The pump does not contaminate the fluid

No backflow or siphoning

• The pump effectively seals the tubing when it is inactive
• No valves are needed

Excellent suction

• Self-priming up to 9 meters
  

Low-shear pumping

• Suitable for shear-sensitive substances, especially biological fluids, such as proteins and bacteria
• Suitable for use with abrasive fluids containing particles

High accuracy metering

• Better than ±2% for general fluid transfer applications

Low maintenance

• No valves, seals or glands to clog or wear
• Tubing is the only consumable part, which can be easily changed
