APPLICATIONS
Biopharma Peristaltic Pumps for Sterile Fluid Handling & Bioreactor Feed
Protect your process and your product. PERIFLOW peristaltic pumps deliver sterile, low-shear, precisely controlled flow for bioreactor feeding, media prep and single-use systems.
Why Peristaltic for Biopharma
Why Biopharma Processes Need Peristaltic Pumps
Single-Use System Ready
Closed-tube flow paths integrate naturally with single-use assemblies — sterilize the tubing, use once, discard. No cleaning validation headaches.
Zero Cross-Contamination
Fluid touches only the tube interior. There are no seals, dead volumes or wetted cavities that could harbor product between runs.
Low-Shear, Cell-Friendly Flow
Gentle roller action protects cells, proteins and biologics during feeding, transfer and harvest.
Precise, Controllable Feed Rates
Accurate mL/min to L/min control with analog, RS485 or external trigger inputs for reproducible bioprocess feeding.

Biopharma Pump Questions
Are peristaltic pumps suitable for sterile applications?
Yes. The closed tubing path keeps fluid isolated from the mechanism, and single-use tubing eliminates cleaning validation — a proven approach across biopharma.
Can peristaltic pumps feed bioreactors without damaging cells?
The low-shear squeezing action is gentle on shear-sensitive cultures, making peristaltic pumps a standard choice for cell culture feeding.
What about single-use assemblies?
Our tubing can be supplied pre-cut and terminated for integration into single-use assemblies, and pump heads are sized to accept standard tube bores.
How do I control the feed rate accurately?
Digital speed control plus RS485, analog or trigger inputs allow precise, reproducible feed rates and easy integration with bioprocess control systems.
Do you provide tubing that withstands autoclaving?
Platinum-cured silicone tubing can be autoclaved for sterilization. Tell us your sterilization method and we will confirm the right grade.
Can you support OEM integration into bioprocess equipment?
Yes — panel-mount, multi-channel and 12-24V OEM configurations are available for equipment manufacturers. Share your specs for a proposal.
