New Thermo Scientific Variable Speed Peristaltic Pump for Laboratory Life Sciences Applications

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., introduces the new Thermo Scientific FH100 variable-speed peristaltic pump for laboratory life-science applications. A newly designed integrated 3-roller pump head allows for fast tubing changes, simple setup and operation. The new pumps feature digital control with a simple key-pad user interface and three-digit LED pump speed display in 1 RPM increments.

Thermo Scientific peristaltic pump systems provide a number of important advantages for users, including single-channel variable flow from 0.1 ml/min to 4000 ml/min at a variable speed range of 4-400 RPM. The unit’s powerful motor provides better than 1 percent speed control accuracy and repeatability and remote control operation capability for such applications as fume hoods and small-scale process applications such as cell culture, fermentation and filtration. The pump is also reversible, allowing for purging of transfer lines or emptying containers, and an integral tachometer corrects for line, load and heat drift, ensuring high accuracy and repeatability.

The small footprint (12.5” x 12.5” x 6.5”) and stackable feature makes the FH100 especially well suited for limited-space applications. The pumps are ETL, IEC:1010, cETL, and CE approved and provide a reliable, value alternative to lab piston metering pumps, gear pumps and small circulating pumps used in laboratory/life science applications. The units are self-priming, able to operate dry, and contain no valves or seals to replace. Fluid only contacts the tubing, providing for contamination-free pumping and high-purity applications. A variety of tubing materials and sizes provide a broad range of chemical compatibility and flow ranges.
