Part 4: Peristaltic Pump Troubleshooting

Peristaltic Pump Troubleshooting, Preventative Maintenance and Repair The peristaltic pump is a very important component to the proper operation of an autoanalyzer instrument. If it is not functioning properly it is possible to have problems with reproducibility, accuracy, and prematurely worn pump tubing. Signs of a peristaltic pump problem might be observed as poor peak [...]

Part 3: Peristaltic Pump Tubing Materials

Various Pump Tubing Materials, Compatibility and Applications Peristaltic pumps rely on compressing and releasing a length of flexible tubing to mimic natural peristalsis seen in many biological systems, using positive displacement to move fluids in a steady and smooth pulsing manner. Instrument Systems will remain contamination-free using peristaltic pump tubes, since the only part of [...]
