BENCHTOP PUMPS
A Lab Pump That Listens to Your Protocol
Touchscreen control and RS485 integration on a 0.1-600 rpm platform — 0.014 to 4560 ml/min for cell culture, media dispensing and crystallisation.

Built for Reproducible Science
Touchscreen Control
Set speed, direction and dispensing volume directly on the screen — no manual fiddling, no hidden menus.
RS485 Remote Control
Plug into your lab automation or PLC. Start, stop, reverse and read status over RS485 with a documented protocol.
0.1-600 rpm Adjustment
Fine speed control across the full flow window — slow enough for crystallisation, fast enough for batch transfer.
±1% Repeatability
Stepper-driven rollers keep each dispense repeatable, batch after batch — data you can defend.
Tube-Only Contact
Fluid touches only the tube interior. Sterilise or replace the tube and the pump is clean for the next run.
Quiet, Bench-Friendly Footprint
Compact housing with low vibration for shared lab spaces and clean benches.

FAQ
Questions Buyers Ask
Can I control the pump from my computer?
Yes. Every benchtop pump includes RS485 communication with a documented protocol, so you can integrate start/stop, speed set-point and status feedback into your own software or PLC.
What flow rates can I actually achieve?
With standard 13#-18# tubing, the pump covers 0.014 to 4560 ml/min across the 0.1-600 rpm range. Choose the tube bore to match your target window.
Is the pump suitable for cell culture media?
Yes. Peristaltic action is gentle on shear-sensitive media, and because fluid only contacts the tube, you can sterilise or swap the tube between runs to prevent cross-contamination.
Can it dose a set volume automatically?
The touchscreen supports volume-based dispensing, and for automation-heavy workflows the RS485 interface gives you full programmatic control.
What maintenance does it need?
Essentially none beyond tubing. Replace the tube on a set schedule and the pump keeps running — no seals, valves or impellers to service.
Is a foot switch or remote start available?
Yes — remote start options including foot switches and external trigger inputs are available as accessories. Tell us how you run your workflow.
