Integra Biosciences has launched a programmable peristaltic pump, designed to make the dispensing of culture media, buffers and other solutions easy and efficient.
The Dose IT pump features an intuitive multilingual user interface, coupled with a large ergonomically designed display and keypad allowing twenty different dosing protocols to be saved and recalled at the press of a button. A flip-top pump head further reduces the time required for pump preparation and setup.
The simple programming and straightforward operation of the Dose IT pump make it suitable for laboratories where different dispensing protocols are frequently used and interchanged. A broad range of dose volumes (0.1 ml - 10 litres) can be dispensed with accuracy because the pump is compatible with differently sized tubing: from thin (1 mm) tubing for dispensing small doses to wide bore (8 mm) tubing for high-throughput pumping.
The flow rate of the standard Dose IT pump (0.6 ml / min - 5 litres/ min) can be doubled by using a second pump head, a modification that reduces flow pulsation.
All process relevant information can be documented using a standard label printer or archived by directly transferring the information to a PC.
The pump has a small footprint, and its light weight makes it relatively portable.
