• What are the main advantages of a peristaltic pump for dispensing?

  Peristaltic pumps offer contamination-free fluid transfer as the fluid only contacts the tubing. They provide high accuracy and repeatability, making them ideal for precise dispensing and metering applications.

• Is this pump suitable for sterile environments?

• What kind of maintenance does a peristaltic pump require?

• Can this pump handle different fluid viscosities?

• Are there options for remote control or integration with other systems?

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.
