In the past, laboratory peristaltic pumps were almost exclusively used in laboratories. However, after being redesigned, the flow rate and pressure of this type of pump have been greatly improved. Now, a large number of devices have successfully been applied in chemical process control and production fields.
Many users work in the field of experimental research, so they are not unfamiliar with culture media. Culture media are nutrient substrates composed of different nutrient substances used to supply microorganisms, plants, or animals (or arrangements) for growth and reproduction. The substrate provides nutrients to cells and promotes cell proliferation, and it is also the living environment for cell growth and reproduction. There are many types of culture media and different culture media have different ingredients. Repetitive manufacturing and packaging under certain conditions can greatly affect the efficiency of the operators. In the process of manufacturing culture media, certain requirements must be met, including measuring and manufacturing according to different proportions and strict accuracy.
Laboratory peristaltic pumps can meet these requirements precisely. They are widely used in universities, enterprises, and laboratories as well, and are good assistants for the manufacture, sampling, and packaging of culture media. Their flow range is wide, and transmission accuracy can reach ±0.5%. They have functions including timing measurement, distribution times, and timing start and stop. Using laboratory peristaltic pumps for culture media transmission can ensure the liquid is not affected by the pump body because the tissue fluid only passes through the hose during transportation. Using laboratory peristaltic pumps for fluid transmission not only improves the efficiency of operators but also reduces operator fatigue.
In the process of daily use, it is recommended to replace the hoses of laboratory peristaltic pumps after long periods of use so that silicone tubes are less likely to rupture and liquids will not leak into the rollers of the pump head. If corrosive liquids flow into the rollers' gaps, the resulting residue may cause the pump head to jam when it solidifies after weatherization. The soft hose of the laboratory peristaltic pump should be replaced in a timely manner according to the specific usage frequency of the pump or if it is frequently relocated. If the liquid is highly corrosive, please select the appropriate material imported hose to avoid damage to the pump.
