Scilog - Tandem 1081 Peristaltic Pump

Applications & Use Cases

• Precision fluid transfer in laboratory and pilot-scale bioprocessing.
• Aseptic media and buffer addition in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• Metering of sensitive biological fluids in biotech research.
• Sampling and feeding bioreactors and fermenters.
• Dispensing reagents and culture media in sterile environments.

Typical Specifications

Typical flow rate range

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

Number of channels

The 'Tandem' designation often implies multiple channels, allowing for simultaneous pumping of different fluids or higher throughput.

Power supply

Typically operates on standard laboratory power, commonly 230V, 50Hz for the UK market.

Control interface

Units in this class often feature digital displays and keypads for precise control, with some offering remote control or integration capabilities.

Tubing compatibility

Designed to accommodate various peristaltic tubing materials and sizes, selected based on chemical compatibility and flow requirements.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, the footprint is typically compact, suitable for benchtop operation in laboratories or cleanroom environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What are the primary advantages of a peristaltic pump for bioprocessing?

  Peristaltic pumps offer gentle, non-contaminating fluid transfer as the fluid only contacts the tubing. They are also self-priming and can handle viscous fluids and slurries effectively.

• Is this pump suitable for sterile applications?

• What maintenance is typically required for a peristaltic pump?

• How do I select the correct tubing for a peristaltic pump?

• Can this pump be integrated into automated systems?
