Scilog Tandem 1081 Peristaltic Pump

• Precision liquid transfer in laboratory and pilot-scale biopharmaceutical processes.
• Accurate dosing and dispensing of reagents in chemical synthesis.
• Sterile fluid handling in cell culture media preparation and fermentation.
• Low-shear pumping of sensitive biological fluids and shear-sensitive suspensions.
• Metering of corrosive or viscous liquids where contact with pump components must be avoided.

Typical flow rate range

Units of this class commonly offer a wide flow rate range, typically from microlitres to several litres per minute, depending on tubing size and drive speed.

Power supply

Most laboratory-grade peristaltic pumps operate on standard single-phase mains electricity, commonly 230V, 50Hz for the UK market.

Control interface

Typically features a digital display and keypad for setting parameters, with options for remote control via analogue or digital inputs (e.g., 4-20mA, RS232).

Tubing compatibility

Designed to accept various tubing materials (e.g., silicone, C-Flex, Viton) and sizes to suit different chemical compatibilities and flow requirements.

Pump heads

The 'Tandem' designation suggests it may accommodate multiple pump heads or channels for simultaneous, independent fluid transfer.

Footprint

For this class of laboratory equipment, units typically have a compact benchtop design, suitable for integration into existing lab setups.

• What is the primary advantage of a peristaltic pump?

  Peristaltic pumps offer contamination-free pumping as the fluid only contacts the tubing. They are also gentle on shear-sensitive fluids and provide precise flow control.

• Can this pump handle abrasive fluids?

• What maintenance is typically required for a peristaltic pump?

• Is this unit suitable for sterile applications?

• How do I ensure accurate flow rates with a used peristaltic pump?

Peristaltic pumps are valued in laboratory and pharmaceutical settings for their gentle, non-contact fluid handling, making them suitable for delicate samples and sterile applications. When buying used units, buyers typically prioritise checking tubing condition, motor functionality, and calibration history. Industry sentiment favours these pumps for their reliability, low maintenance requirements, and consistent flow rates. Common strengths include versatility across various fluid viscosities and compatibility with corrosive or shear-sensitive media. Prospective buyers should verify spare parts availability for specific models.
