Liquid Handling, Pumps & Fluid Control
Moving fluids accurately and cleanly sits at the heart of most laboratory and pharmaceutical workflows, from dosing reagents to feeding a bioreactor. Liquid handling, pumps and fluid control equipment covers the valves and dispensing systems that govern flow rate, pressure and volume across research and production. You will find contact free peristaltic heads for sterile media, precision syringe drives for microlitre work, and robust vacuum pumps for filtration and transfer. Both new and used units come from sellers who describe wetted materials, flow ranges and control options so you can match a unit to your fluid. Compare specifications and contact the seller directly.

Liquid Handling and Fluid Control Product Types
This corner of the Labs, Biotech & Pharma range spans automated dosing platforms through to single head transfer pumps. Use the categories below to narrow your liquid handling, pumps and fluid control needs by pumping principle and the fluids you handle.
Automated Pipetting Systems
Deck based platforms that aspirate and dispense across microplates and tube racks without operator intervention. They suit repetitive assay setup where volume accuracy and traceability matter.
Peristaltic Pumps
Roller and tube designs that keep the fluid inside disposable tubing, so nothing but the tube touches the media. They are the default choice for sterile transfer and gentle handling of shear sensitive cultures.
Centrifugal Pumps
Impeller driven units that deliver steady high volume flow for water, buffers and thin process liquids. They are common on skid systems and utility loops where continuous throughput is the priority.
Diaphragm Pumps
Sealless designs that flex a membrane to move liquid or gas, keeping the drive isolated from the fluid path. They handle aggressive chemicals and run dry without damage, which suits filtration and solvent transfer.
Syringe Pumps & Perfusors
Motorised drives that advance a syringe plunger at a set rate for pulseless microlitre delivery. Researchers rely on them for infusion studies, microfluidics and calibrated reagent dosing.
Vacuum Pumps & Systems
Units that pull filtration, drive solvent evaporation and support degassing across the lab. Oil free diaphragm and rotary vane options cover most bench duties and rough vacuum lines.
Backpressure Valves & Flow Control
Regulators, restrictors and metering valves that hold a steady downstream pressure so flow stays smooth and detectors read cleanly. Pressure rating and wetted materials decide the fit for a given line.
Dispensing Pumps
Bottle top, syringe and peristaltic units that deliver a preset volume on demand for repeat filling and aliquoting. Each shot lands on target, which keeps every container filled the same.
Pneumatic Units
Air operated pumps, actuators and control assemblies that move fluid and drive motion without an electric motor in the fluid zone. They suit wet and classified areas where compressed air is the safer power source.
Rotary Vane Pumps
Oil sealed and dry vane pumps that reach a deep, stable vacuum for freeze drying, degassing and concentration work. Ultimate vacuum and pumping speed are the figures that match one to a process.
Brands on Machinery Masters
The manufacturers featured here build dosing platforms, peristaltic and diaphragm pumps, and the valves and tubing that carry fluids accurately. Their equipment underpins reproducible results across the laboratory. Every name below comes from the Liquid Handling, Pumps & Fluid Control listings currently available on Machinery Masters, so the strip is rarely the same twice.

Why Choose Machinery Masters
Verified Sellers Only
Every seller is verified before a single listing goes live. Machinery Masters also reviews listings for accuracy, so buyers can commit to high value machinery with confidence.
Global Reach
Listings come from sellers across Europe, North America, and beyond. That reach widens the options past any regional dealer network, and it is often the only way to find discontinued models in good condition.
Flexible Financing Options
Qualifying listings carry financing through partner providers. Terms are shown directly on eligible product pages, spreading the cost instead of draining working capital in one hit.
Direct Seller Contact
No broker sits between the buyer and the seller. Ask about service history, arrange inspections, and negotiate directly with the person who actually knows the machine.
Applications and Uses
Fluid control equipment underpins tasks that range from routine buffer transfer to tightly dosed infusion. These are the settings where the category earns its place.
Media and buffer transfer
Moving culture media, buffers and reagents between vessels without contaminating the fluid path. Peristaltic and diaphragm units keep the transfer sterile and repeatable across shifts.
Filtration and clarification
Driving liquid through membranes and depth filters under pressure or vacuum. Steady flow protects the filter and keeps recovery consistent from batch to batch.
Reagent dosing and infusion
Delivering precise microlitre volumes for assays, microfluidics and perfusion work. Syringe and dispensing drives hold the set rate long enough to make results comparable.
Process feed and utility loops
Feeding bioreactors, chromatography skids and clean utility circuits at controlled pressure. Centrifugal and process pumps carry the volume while sensors keep flow in range.
Benefits from Machinery Masters
Buying liquid handling, pumps and fluid control equipment here gives you range, transparency and a direct line to the person selling the kit.
Whole fluid path under one category
Pumps, valves and dispensers for research and production sit together, so you specify a complete transfer line without chasing several suppliers.
Reconditioned pumps that stretch a budget
Many used pumps have plenty of service life left after a refurbishment, and choosing one over a new drive frees money for tubing and consumables.
Wetted materials confirmed by the seller
You reach the person holding the equipment and can check wetted materials, seal condition and flow range before you commit.
Frequently Asked Questions About Liquid Handling, Pumps & Fluid Control
Start with what the fluid demands rather than the flow rate alone. Shear sensitive or sterile media favour peristaltic heads because only the tubing touches the liquid, while aggressive solvents suit sealless diaphragm designs. High volume thin liquids move well through centrifugal pumps, and precise low volumes call for a syringe drive. Match the wetted materials to your chemistry before comparing throughput.
Look closely at the parts that contact the fluid, since seals, diaphragms and tubing wear first. Ask the seller whether these were replaced recently and whether the drive holds its set flow across the range. Check that the motor runs without excess noise or vibration, which points to bearing wear. A recent service record gives you confidence that the unit is ready to run.
Peristaltic pumps are the usual answer for aseptic work because the fluid stays inside disposable tubing that you can autoclave or replace. Diaphragm pumps with sterilisable heads also suit clean transfer where the membrane is the only wetted surface. Confirm that the tubing size and material match your validation requirements. The seller can tell you which heads and tube grades a given unit accepts.
Size the pump around your working point rather than its maximum figure, as pumps run best near the middle of their range. Note the volume you move per run and the back pressure from filters, fittings and vertical lift. A unit that just reaches your target will struggle, so leave headroom. Share those numbers with the seller and they can confirm the model suits the duty.
Financing is available on qualifying listings, which lets you spread the cost of a larger platform such as an automated pipetting system. You raise it with the seller during your enquiry and they confirm whether their listing qualifies. This keeps working capital free while you bring the equipment into service. Terms depend on the item and the seller.
