Can the peristaltic pump by Masterflex be used with the KX2 robot?

The Peristaltic Pump by Masterflex can be effectively automated using the KX2 robot and software by PAA. We already have the driver written. This integration enhances the functionality of the peristaltic pump, enabling automated fluid handling tasks with precision and reliability. The KX2 robot ensures accurate control and manipulation of the pump, while the PAA software orchestrates the automation workflow, optimizing fluid transfer processes and minimizing manual intervention. This automation solution is ideal for various applications in laboratory automation, chemical synthesis, bioprocessing, and industrial manufacturing, improving efficiency and productivity in fluid handling operations.


Overview of peristaltic pump instrument

The Masterflex peristaltic pump is a precision pump designed to handle a wide range of fluids with high accuracy and repeatability. It operates on the principle of peristalsis, using rotating rollers to compress flexible tubing, creating a vacuum which draws fluid through the tubing. This gentle pumping action makes it suitable for handling shear-sensitive fluids and for applications requiring sterile fluid paths.

Applications of Masterflex Peristaltic Pump:

  • Laboratory and research: Ideal for precise fluid transfer in analytical instruments, sample preparation, and chemical dosing.

  • Medical and pharmaceutical: Used for drug delivery, chromatography, blood handling, and bioreactor feeding due to its sterile fluid path and accurate flow control.

  • Industrial processing: Suitable for transferring acids, bases, solvents, and abrasive fluids in manufacturing processes.

  • Food and beverage: Used for accurate dispensing of flavorings, colorings, and additives in food production.

  • Environmental monitoring: Applied in water treatment, wastewater analysis, and monitoring of environmental samples.

Industries Using Masterflex Peristaltic Pump:

  • Biotechnology

  • Pharmaceutical

  • Chemical processing

  • Food and beverage

  • Environmental monitoring

  • Water treatment

  • Manufacturing

Its adaptability and precision make it a valuable asset in numerous fluid handling applications across the industrial spectrum.
