Compact Masterflex pumps launched

Barnant Company has launched Microflex®, a new line of compact and durable Masterflex peristaltic pumping systems designed for installation in small instrumentation, such as in OEM clinical, diagnostic, laboratory dispensing, sampling, analyzing, and food/beverage applications. Microflex pumps are designed for the controlled transfer of liquids and sample dispense, with or without vacuum or pressure.

Microflex peristaltic pumps have flow ranges from 3 µ/min to 30 ml/min and pressures to 2 bars, and can be used as an alternative to syringe pumps. The pumps accept a range of microbore tubing types/sizes and a number of motor configurations are available.

According to Barnant, the pumps are self-priming, can operate dry without damage, are suitable for slurries and viscous liquids, and contain no valves or seals. Fluid only contacts the tubing, helping ensure contamination-free pumping . A fixed occlusion bed provides for quick setup, easy tube changes, and consistent flow accuracy. No manual adjustment is required, either ¬occlusion is set when the pump head cover is closed.
