2. What is a Peristaltic Pump
• Positive displacement pump
• Fluid is contained within a flexible tube
fitted inside a circular pump casing
• A rotor with a number of "rollers",
attached to the external circumference
compresses the flexible tube.
• As the rotor turns, the part of tube
under compression is pinched closed
forcing the fluid to be pumped to move
through the tube.
• Flow Rate depends on tubing I.D.,
length of tubing, and motor rpm.
3. Peristaltic vs. Syringe Pumps
Parameter Syringe Pump Peristaltic Pump
Accuracy High (<0.25%) Low (>1%)
Precision High Variable
Reliability High High
Needs Refill Yes (unless using valves) No
Pressure High (>1,000 psi) Low (<50 psi)
Flow Type Pulseless Pulsatile
Multichannel Yes Yes
Market Size <$50 M/year >$200 M/year
Year Developed 1950's 1880's

19. Competition - 2 General Types of Peristaltic Pumps
• Type 1 - Analog (similar to HA MP-II)
• Sell for $500 - $1,200
• Older design electronics
• Flow rates are approximate
• No modern features
• Difficult to calibrate
• Limited I/O capability
20. Competition
• Type 2
• Digital – Sell for $1,500 to $4,000
• Advanced electronics
• Allow for calibration and direct setting of flow
22. Competition
• Cole Parmer mainly 1-2 channel systems
• Ismatec/Reglo multichannel systems, but low level
electronics. Sold through distributors.
