Application of Laboratory Peristaltic Pump Is Increasingly Widespread

Laboratory peristaltic pump is a fluid conveying device that can control flow rate. It usually moves the fluid in the tube in a certain direction by repeatedly compressing the tube. Its flow rate is determined by the diameter of the tube and compression speed, and it is commonly used in liquid phase chromatography and perfusion systems.

Advantages of laboratory peristaltic pump

The laboratory peristaltic pump has a low shear force and can ensure the integrity and activity of biological molecules when pumping biologically active substances. It is easy to replace the tube, and when transporting different solutions in the laboratory, just by replacing the tube that meets the sanitary level, it can avoid cross-contamination between different solutions. The flow rate error of the laboratory peristaltic pump is ≤±2%, and the calibrated flow rate error can reach ±0.5%. The controllable flow rate can maintain the continuous filtration of tangential flow filtration system to achieve the expected concentration effect.

The application field of laboratory peristaltic pump is getting wider and wider

Nowadays, new types of laboratory peristaltic pumps have solved most problems and the application fields have gradually become wider:

Laboratory field

Laboratory peristaltic pumps have excellent repeatability accuracy in small-scale fluid distribution and measurement. There is no need to install any valve, which eliminates the common fluid blockage and siphon phenomenon. The common applications in the laboratory research and development process include: transport of cell tissue, specimen decolorization, perfusion, liquid chromatography analysis, and transportation of acidic or alkaline solutions.

Food and chemical field

Many existing pump tube materials can meet the requirements of USP, FDA, and NS. Using laboratory peristaltic pump can conveniently transport viscous liquids and liquids with small particles. The laboratory peristaltic pump does not need to be cleaned, and changing the fluid only requires replacing the tube. Common uses include: distribution of juice, yogurt, seasoning, syrup in food production lines, and filling of other foods.

Pharmaceutical field

Laboratory peristaltic pumps use pollution-free and non-corrosive pump tubes. Pump tubes that meet the USP VI requirements can withstand high temperature disinfection treatment. There are also multiple drivers to choose from, which can be used for the following situations: pumping nutrients, pH adjusters, and dispensing cosmetics in the medium fermentation process, etc.

General field

Laboratory peristaltic pumps can be used in situations where fluids need to be continuously transported and can quickly discover and solve difficult problems. It can transport sewage, suspended solids and other difficult fluids, and the flow rate can reach 40L/min. The self-priming capability of laboratory peristaltic pumps can avoid major faults in many industrial systems. Some common uses include: transportation of fuel liquid, corrosive liquid, printing oil grinding fluid, and lubricating fluid.
