Scilog Tandem 1081 Peristaltic Pump

• Precision liquid transfer in laboratory and pilot-scale biopharmaceutical processes.
• Aseptic fluid handling in cell culture and fermentation applications.
• Metering and dispensing of sensitive or viscous fluids in research and development.
• Chromatography and filtration systems requiring controlled flow rates.

Typical flow rate range

Units of this type commonly offer a broad flow rate range, typically from microlitres to several litres per minute, depending on tubing size.

Number of channels

The 'Tandem' designation suggests multiple independent channels, often two, for simultaneous or differential fluid transfer.

Tubing compatibility

Typically compatible with various tubing materials (e.g., silicone, C-FLEX, Marprene) and sizes to suit different applications and fluid viscosities.

Control interface

Commonly features a digital display and keypad for setting parameters, with potential for external control via RS232 or analogue inputs.

Power supply

For this class of laboratory equipment, a standard single-phase electrical supply is common, typically 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz.

Footprint

Benchtop design, with dimensions suitable for laboratory environments, typically compact to conserve space.

Pump head type

Peristaltic pump heads are designed for gentle pumping action, preventing contamination and shear stress to fluids.

• What are the main advantages of a peristaltic pump like the Scilog Tandem 1081?

  Peristaltic pumps offer contamination-free pumping as the fluid only contacts the tubing, and they provide precise, repeatable flow rates for sensitive applications.

• Can this pump handle viscous fluids or slurries?

• Is this unit suitable for continuous operation?

• What maintenance is typically required for a peristaltic pump?

• How do I ensure the correct tubing is used 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.
