Designed for laboratories

FlexiPump is compact and easy to use with 3 dispensing modes: continuous, dose (predetermined volume) and multi-dose (predetermined volume, with an
adjustable pause between each dose). It has 32 customizable programs. FlexiPump easily calibrates and picks up in all types of containers.

Simplified distribution

The distribution can be done in series. The control is increased with the handy gun, the adjustable arm and the foot pedal.

Culture media
E.g.: 9 mL in test tubes

Agar
E.g.: 18 mL in Petri dish

All liquid diluent
E.g.: 90 ou 225 mL in bottle or blender bag

Control and accuracy of the distributed volume

FlexiPump is equipped with a powerful motor allowing the distribution of 50 μL to 99.9 L with a flow rate up to 2.5 L/min. The difference in precision between several distributions reaches 1%. FlexiPump complies with ISO 7218 standards.

Typical accuracy with 3.2 mm ID tubing

Ergonomics of the workstation

FlexiPump is compact: only 16 cm wide. The large screen and the rotating button enable easy programing. The standard distribution in all types of containers is simplified thanks to the ergonomic spray gun.

Pure water, instantly, with Steriwater

Steriwater is an instant solution for sterile water production in laboratories. This solution simplifies the distribution of sterile water with FlexiPump for the preparation of your media (tubes, bags, bottles). Set-up is quick and easy.

Applications

FlexiPump is used for all serial distribution in food, environmental, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, veterinary and public research institutes.
