Thermo Fisher Scientific Introduces Peristaltic Pump at ACHEMA 2009

New Thermo Scientific FH100 Variable Speed Peristaltic Pump for Laboratory Life Sciences Applications

FRANKFURT (May 11, 2009) – Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, will introduce the new Thermo Scientific FH100 variable-speed peristaltic pump for laboratory life-science applications at ACHEMA 2009. A newly designed, integrated three-roller pump head allows for fast tubing changes, and simple setup and operation. The new pumps feature digital control with a simple keypad user interface and three-digit LED pump speed display in 1 RPM increments. The Thermo Scientific peristaltic pump will be displayed on booths L28-L29, Hall 8 at ACHEMA 2009 in Frankfurt, Germany, from May 11 – 15.

Thermo Scientific FH100 peristaltic pump systems provide a number of important advantages for users, including single-channel variable flow from 0.1 ml/min to 3000 ml/min at a variable speed range of 4-400 rpm. The unit’s powerful motor provides better than 1 percent speed control accuracy and repeatability as well as remote control operation for applications including fume hoods and small-scale cell culture, fermentation and filtration processes. The pump is also reversible, allowing for purging of transfer lines or emptying containers. An integral tachometer corrects for line, load and heat drift, ensuring high accuracy and repeatability.

The small footprint (12.5” x 12.5” x 6.5”) and stackable feature makes the FH100 pump especially well suited for limited-space applications. The pumps are ETL, IEC:1010, cETL, and CE-approved and provide a reliable, value alternative to lab piston metering pumps, gear pumps and small circulating pumps used life science laboratory applications. The units are self-priming, able to operate dry, and contain no valves or seals that need to be replaced. Fluid only contacts the tubing, providing for contamination-free pumping and high-purity applications. A variety of tubing materials and sizes provide a broad range of chemical compatibility and flow ranges.
