Watson Marlow 530S Peristaltic Pump

• Accurate dosing of reagents in laboratory settings.
• Transfer of shear-sensitive fluids in biotechnology.
• Metering of chemicals in pilot plant operations.
• Dispensing of viscous liquids in food and beverage research.
• Sampling and analytical applications requiring precise flow.

Typical flow rate range

For this class of equipment, flow rates typically range from microlitres to several litres per minute, depending on the pumphead and tubing.

Speed control

Units of this type commonly feature precise speed control, often via a digital interface, allowing for accurate flow adjustment.

Pressure capability

Peristaltic pumps like the 530S are typically designed for low to medium pressure applications, commonly up to 2-7 bar.

Power supply

Most laboratory-grade peristaltic pumps operate on standard single-phase electrical supplies, typically 110-240V AC.

Pumphead compatibility

The 530S model is commonly compatible with various Watson Marlow pumpheads, allowing for different tubing sizes and flow rates.

Tubing materials

Suitable tubing materials typically include Marprene, Bioprene, Silicone, and Chem-Sure, selected based on chemical compatibility and application.

• What are the main advantages 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 accurate, repeatable dosing.

• Is this pump suitable for continuous operation?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used unit?

• Can this pump handle corrosive chemicals?

• What accessories might I need with this 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.
