A laboratory pump is a specialized device designed to move and control the flow of liquids or gases within a research setting. A Laboratory pump plays a crucial role in various scientific experiments, analytical processes, and research applications. They provide precise and controlled delivery of fluids. Laboratory pumps come in different types, such as peristaltic pumps, syringe pumps, and diaphragm pumps, each catering to specific laboratory requirements. Pumps are engineered with precision and feature excellent chemical resistance, adjustable flow rates and high accuracy. Laboratory pumps contribute significantly to the reliability and reproducibility of experiments, making pumps indispensable tools in scientific research.

Peristaltic pumps find applications in various industries and processes due to their gentle pumping action and ability to handle delicate fluids. Some common applications include:
Medical and pharmaceutical industry: Peristaltic pumps are widely used for pumping sensitive fluids such as blood, medications, and sterile solutions in medical and pharmaceutical applications. They are also utilized in chromatography systems and analytical instruments for precise fluid delivery.
Biotechnology and laboratory research: Peristaltic pumps are employed in bioreactors, fermentation processes, and cell culture systems for the precise addition of nutrients, media, and other fluids. They are also used in analytical chemistry, DNA synthesis, and protein purification processes.
Industrial processes: Peristaltic pumps are utilized in various industrial processes such as chemical manufacturing, mining, and paper production for transferring abrasive, corrosive, or viscous fluids. Their self-priming and reversible pumping capabilities make them suitable for diverse industrial applications.
Analytical instrumentation: Peristaltic pumps are integrated into analytical instruments such as liquid chromatography (LC) systems, mass spectrometers, and spectrophotometers for sample introduction, solvent delivery, and waste disposal. Their precise and consistent flow rates ensure accurate analysis results.
Overall, peristaltic pumps offer versatile pumping solutions across a wide range of industries and applications, where precise fluid handling, gentle pumping action, and contamination-free pumping are essential requirements.
