- Typical flow rate range
- Units in this class commonly offer flow rates from approximately 0.06 mL/min up to 230 mL/min, suitable for various laboratory applications.
- Pump head capability
- Many KrosFlo peristaltic pumps are designed to accommodate dual pump heads, enhancing versatility for different fluid paths or flow rates.
- Typical footprint
- For this class of equipment, units are typically compact benchtop designs, intended for easy integration into laboratory workspaces.
- Power supply
- Commonly, these units operate on standard laboratory mains power, typically 230V, 50Hz in the UK.
- Maintenance requirements
- Peristaltic pumps are generally low maintenance due to their seal-less and valveless design, with tubing being the primary wear part.
- Suitable fluid types
- This type of pump is well-suited for handling abrasive slurries, corrosive fluids, and shear-sensitive biological solutions due to its gentle pumping action.
