What type of drive unit is required for this pump head?

This 313X is an extension pump head and requires a compatible Watson Marlow 313D, 313S, or similar drive unit to operate. Buyers should verify compatibility with their existing drive.

Can this pump head be used for continuous operation?

Yes, units of this type are designed for continuous duty in many laboratory and process applications, provided appropriate tubing and operating parameters are selected.

What are the benefits of the rapid-load mechanism?

The rapid-load, flip-top mechanism allows for quick, tool-free tubing changes, which minimises downtime and reduces the risk of incorrect tube installation.

Is this pump head suitable for sterile applications?

While the pump head itself is not sterile, its design allows for the use of sterile tubing, making it suitable for sterile fluid transfer when used with appropriate aseptic techniques.

How many extension heads can be added to a single drive?

Typically, a compatible drive unit can accommodate up to five extension pump heads, depending on the specific drive model and the tubing types and sizes being used.
