The best peristaltic pumps are characterized by the following:
1,Long tubing life. Tubing life is a crucial factor in the quality of a peristaltic pump. Undoubtedly, for the same pump tubing, a longer lifespan means lower costs.
2,Low motor noise. Since peristaltic pumps are primarily used in instruments and meters, the operating environment is relatively quiet, so the noise level is generally no higher than 65 decibels. Low-noise peristaltic pumps are more convenient for use in laboratory instruments or medical equipment.
3,High repeatability.Repeatability refers to maintaining excellent repeatability across multiple deliveries. For example, three deliveries with flow rates of 9.15 ml, 9.16 ml, and 9.17 ml respectively demonstrate high repeatability.
4,Accuracy. Accuracy is the core function of a peristaltic pump. Higher-accuracy peristaltic pumps have significant advantages in design and application delivery, but the price will also be higher. Accuracy generally refers to the flow rate precision of a single delivery, such as a delivery volume of 9.16 ml/min.
5,Easy tubing installation and replacement. Easy installation and replacement of pump tubing is a hallmark of a peristaltic pump’s user-friendly design. Ease of installation, in particular, determines the labor time, workload, or labor costs required for mass installation of OEM peristaltic pumps. Easy tubing replacement, on the other hand, simplifies subsequent maintenance.
