Scilog Tandem 1081 Peristaltic Pump

• 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 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.

• 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?

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.
