Peristaltic Pumps

Peristaltic Pumps For flow rates of up to 13 L/min

Applications
Millipore's peristaltic pumps are recommended for clarification and sterilizing filtration of culture media and other fluids using Millipak filter units. They are also used to operate laboratory bench-top tangential flow devices such as Millipore Pellicon^® systems.

Drives
Variable-speed reversible drive has permanent magnet DC motor and solid-state control. Tubing diameter and pump head determine flow rate. Toggle switch controls flow direction, potentiometer controls flow rate/drive speed and red light indicates power.

Pump Heads
Polysulfone housings contain stainless steel roller assembly.

Tubing
Silicone tubing withstands 1.4 bar (20 psi) pressure when operated for up to 20 hours at 500 RPM. Tygon^® tubing withstands 1.4 bar (20 psi) pressure when operated for up to 40 hours at 500 RPM. Norprene^® tubing withstands 1.4 bar (20 psi) pressure when operated up to 1,000 hours at 500 RPM. Extend tubing life by operating at lower pressures and slower RPM.

Materials
ABS plastic, fire-resistant with IP53 rating; aluminum chassis; polysulfone/stainless steel peristaltic pump heads; silicone, Tygon (PVC), or Norprene (polyolefin) peristaltic tubing.
