Minipuls 3 Series ...
... the peristaltic pump, best performance!
Pulse Free Liquid Transfer
• By driving the liquid flow with as many as
10 rollers, Minipuls 3 is able to produce smoother,
pulse free flows, with excellent accuracy and
precision, even at high flow rates.
• An adjustable speed stepper
motor and high quality precision-
bore tubing assure reproducible
flow rates.
• The adjustable cams allow the
tubing to be overcompressed to
make priming easier or less
compressed to allow the tubing to
last longer. Also, by this means,
minor adjustments in flow rate
are possible, which may be useful
when you want to synchonize
the flow-rates of multichannel
systems.
Wide Flow-rate Range (0.3 µL/min to 220 mL/min),
Wide Tubing Size Range (0.25 mm to 8 mm ID)
Choice of 6 fully interchangeable pump-heads
to accomodate a wide range of flow-rates and back
pressures, according to your application.
So, you do not need to change the entire pump if
your application or flow-rates requirements change.
• Standard flow pump-heads: choice of 1, 2, 4,
or 8 channels.
• High flow pump-heads: choice of 2 or 4 channels.
A wide range of accepted tubing types and sizes
gives you much greater flexibility in terms
of the flow rate range that is available with each
pump head.
• Standard model:
from 0.3 µL/min to 30 mL/min
(maximum pressure 0.5 MPa).
• High flow:
from 1 mL/min to 220 mL/min
(maximum pressure 0.3 MPa).
Gilson Product,
Quality Built-in
Reliable, Robust, Safe
Solidly constructed from robust, chemically resistant
materials, Minipuls 3 ensures reliable liquid transfer
even in the most challenging environments.
The built-in overflow is your protection in case of
tubing rupture.
Quiet, User Friendly
Minipuls 3 is easy to install, simple to operate, easy
to maintain.
Simple operation thanks to its microprocessor
control, uncomplicated soft-touch keypad and
easy-to-read LCD screen.Remote control is possible
with most instruments possessing an RS232C
interface (adapter required).
Snappy Tubing
Changes
Just snap the cams! Tubing in any channel can be
changed easily and independently. The retaining
stops, which are color coded for easy recognition
of the tubing’s internal diameter, ensure that the
tension in the peristaltic tubing is correct and that
reproducible flow rates are obtained.
Gilson Support
With its wide range of experience as a manufacturer
of laboratory equipment for liquid handling, Gilson
can provide support and advice on the best tubings
and connectors to use for your application.
