Different Types of Laboratory Pumps
Laboratory Pumps Are Not Just for Laboratories
Used for small scale pumping applications,
laboratory pumps have a lower pressure and volume capacity than the larger agricultural or industrial pumps. Laboratory pumps are lightweight, have a small footprint, use less electricity and are ideal for the low-pressure work in a laboratory. Aside from standard laboratory use, laboratory pumps are widely used in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and food industries. They are also standard equipment for blood collection. Laboratory pumps may be either vacuum pumps, piston pumps, peristaltic pumps, impeller type pumps, air and membrane pumps.
We have all of the major types of
laboratory pumps in our online store, including the following:
- Piston Laboratory Pumps – utilizing acuter motors that implement air pressure to do the pumping, these can be calibrated and are incredibly reliable in delivering the precise fluid amounts needed.
- Peristaltic Laboratory Pumps – These are used as dialysis machines. By utilizing a pumping design, this type of laboratory pump extracts blood, filters it, and delivers it back into the human body. However, these same pumps are used in laboratory systems to deliver reagents and purified water.
- Impeller Laboratory Pumps – When larger volumes of liquid need to be moved at a constant rate and pressure, this type of pump is always preferred. Attached to electric motors, this pump is ideal for mixing reagents or fluids before delivery.
- Diaphragm Laboratory Pumps – With this type of pump, the liquid is on one side of the diaphragm, when flexed, the liquid is forced through a check valve preventing the liquid from flowing back to its source container.
No matter what type of laboratory pumps you're looking for, our online store is sure to provide it for you. We are your one stop shop for laboratory pumps and any other type of
lab equipment you need in order to keep your operations running smoothly and effectively.
