2.2 Installation
To use FlexiPump®at its best, we suggest to install it on a stable, flat and rigid surface. Check that the
bottle is placed at the same level or lower than the FlexiPump®to avoid that the water flows after the
pumping is stopped. The bottle can be placed on the ground to save space.
Proceed as shown below:
- Put the tube into the peristaltic pump (from front to back). Be careful to center it to avoid to pinch the
tubing when closing the pump. (BE CAREFUL: carefully read the tubing installation guide provided).
When the pump is opened, you can adjust,
according to the inner diameter of the tubing,
by moving the rotating button.

To choose the most suited tubing, please read chapter 3.5.2.
3 First steps
3.1 Principles of use
FlexiPump®has 3 dispensing modes: continuous, dose and multi-dose.
Continuous mode:
In this mode, the user controls (by hand or by foot) the starting and stopping moments of the pump. The
pump speed controlling the flow, is initially programmed by the user.
Dose mode:
In this mode, the user controls (by hand or by foot) the starting moment of the pump. The pump
immediately stops when the programmed volume is dispensed. The pump speed and the volume to
distribute are initially programmed by the user.
Multiple-dose mode:
In this mode, the user controls (by hand or by foot) the starting moment of the pump for the first dose.
The pump automatically stops when the programmed volume is dispensed. Then it automatically
dispenses again after a programmed delay. The speed of the pump, the volume to dispense, the number
of doses and the delays in-between are programmed initially by the user.
3.2 Principle of operations
FlexiPump®is a peristaltic pump controlled by a microprocessor.
When a dispensing is programmed, the microprocessor controls the pump in movement and stopps it
when the pump has done the asked number of rotations.
A calibration operation is necessary to settle and memorize the number of necessary rotations.
3.3 Display and control buttons
The general use of FlexiPump®is easy. The front panel is composed of a screen, a rotating button and a
few other buttons.

11
Informations and menus appear on-screen. The rotating button at the right side of the screen is the main
control of the FlexiPump®: it enables to choose in the menu the options, launch the operations (e.g.
dispense liquid, calibrate or set a program).
The other buttons have specific functions. They act as shortcuts for specific actions. For example:
START/STOP : To start or stop the pump
esc. : To cancel an operation or a choice
change settings : To put on-screen the program menu.
3.4 Menu
A menu is a list of choices appearing on-screen. The user turns the rotating button to look at the menu
and presses the button to validate his choice. If the list is too long to fit on the screen, the list scrolls as
the user turns the button.
Example of the main menu, when the FlexiPump®is turned on:

The on-screen menu are hierarchical: the user can, when choosing an option in the menu, go to another
menu, called sub-menu. For example, the option “MODIFY PROGS“ of the main menu leads to the
following sub-menu:
At any time the “esc.” button makes the user quit the on-screen menu and to get back to the main menu
or the top menu.
3.5 Concept of program
FlexiPump®is a programmable equipment.
The user can choose his preferred programs and memorize them.
Each preferred user mode, (for example 9 mL in mono dose at a 3 mL/s flow) is then called a program.
The user can then enter other programs and name them so they can easily distinguish them.
FlexiPump®is delivered pre-programed with the following programs:
•9 ml tube: distribution of 9 mL doses
•18ml dish: distribution of 18 mL doses
•9ml Multi: multiples 9 mL doses
•Continuous: continuous and fixed flow
3.5.1 Programs and tubings
FlexiPump®can be equipped with tubes with various diameters. If you have several tubes and wish to
change it according to your application: either specific flow or viscosity.
Please keep in mind that a program is made to function with a pre-determined diameter tubing. The flow
distributed by the pump depends on the tubing's diameter and its speed fixed by the program.
Advice for the choice of a tubing
During the liquid flow the inner diameter of the tubing is important to get a good precision. The more the
tubing has a bigger diameter, the more the flow (milliliters per minute) and less it will be adapted for
dispensing of little volumes.
On the side of the FlexiPump®are engraved 2 diagrams for FlexiPump® and FlexiPump®Pro. They show
the precision that you can get according to your volume and the inner diameter of the tubing.

Example, with the FlexiPump®:
FlexiPump® Pro :
How to read the diagram :
For a given tubing diameter, the curve indicates the guaranteed precision according to the volume of a
dose. Example : in this figure, for a tubing with inner diameter of 4,8 mm (red curve) and a volume of 9
mL, the guaranteed precision is inferior to 4% (follow the dots in red).

14
On the contrary, knowing the volume of your dose (for example 9 mL) and the maximum precision you
want (for example 2%) - follow the dots in black -, a tubing with an inner diameter of 3,2 mm is sufficient
because its curve goes underneath the intersections (lines in dots).
Note : the lines in black dots are engraved on the side of the FlexiPump®, but not the red ones.
9 mL = typical volume to dilute a 1mL sample at 1/10th.
18 mL = typical volume to fill a 90 mm Petri dish with agar.
225 mL = typical volume to dilute a 25 g sample at 1/10th.
With FlexiPump®Pro, you get a better precision than with the FlexiPump®thanks to the 2 tubings
associated with the 2 pumps out of phase.
The typical precision values obtained, with a tubing with an inner diameter of 3,2 mm are the following :
FlexiPump® :
9 mL : 1,8 % - 18 mL : 1 % - 225 mL : 0,5 %
FlexiPump® Pro:
9 mL : 0,9 % - 18 mL : 0,5 % - 225 mL : 0,4 %
3.5.2 Programs and calibration
A calibration is necessary for programs distributing doses with a fixed volume. The calibration enables
the FlexiPump®to measure the real flow with the conditions of the program, to memorize it and to take it
into account at each dose delivered. The flow rate being known, the FlexiPump®makes the number of
rotations necessary for each dose.
The flow delivered by the pump will indeed depend on the rotation speed; the given rotation speed of a
given pump, will depend upon the diameter of the tubing and the viscosity of the liquid. The flow directly
proportionnally depends on the rotation speed but this proportionnality depends on the tubing diameter
and the viscosity of the liquid.
Moreover, with a same tubing and liquid, the medium flow can vary according to the volume of a dose,
especially when going from a few microliters to several liters.
As each program has different parameters: volume of a dose, tubing diameter and liquid viscosity; a
calibration is necessary for each program.
3.5.3 Programs: user manual
More information about the use of programs are given at the chapter 3.7 Programs.
3.6 General settings
The access to programing functions in the general settings is made by the choice of the
“CONFIGURATION” option in the main menu or by pressing the “change settings” button on the
top right of the rotating button.
Here are the options appearing in the settings menu in the general settings:

3.6.1 Flow direction of the pump
The arrow displayed in front of “FLOW DIRECTION” indicates the direction towards which goes
the pump and consequently the direction in which the tubing must be placed. If the arrow indicates a
direction from left to right like this : then the source must be placed on the left side of the pump
and the container on the right side.
To change the direction of the pumping, please select the line and then press on the rotating button. Get
back to the main screen by pressing on the “esc.” button.
Note: The direction of the pumping is a general parameter, meaning that when using the FlexiPump®,
the direction will be set whatever the programm you use.
3.6.2 Anti-drop system
The Anti-drop option enables to prevent that a drop shows up at the end of the tubing at the end of a
distribution. Such a drop can be a trouble if the user shakes the tubing and the drop falls into the
container, because it would alter the precision.
To prevent that a drip appears, the pump goes back and sucks the drop back in the tubing. This
operation can take a fraction of a second after dispensing.
To activate or disactivate the option, select the “ANTI-DROP” line and then press on the rotating
button. Go back to the main screen by pressing on the “esc.” button.
3.6.3 Sound
FlexiPump®makes a little sound after each operation.
To activate or disactivate the sound, select the line “SOUND” and then press on the rotating button.
Go back to the main menu by pressing on the “esc.” button.
3.6.4 Contrast
This option lets you adjust the contrast on the screen. Depending on the brightness of your environment,
you may want to increase or decrease the contrast.

button. The cursor then goes to the next line (SPEED).
Pump speed
The speed is measured in RPM (Rotation Per Minute), that is to say, rotations per minute. The pump
speed and inner diameter of the tubing condition the flow. (The flow also depends upon the viscosity of
the liquid.)
To change the speed, select the line “SPEED” and press on the rotating button.
Then by turning the button, change the number and validate by pressing the button.
Another method, to change the speed in a experimental mode :
Launch the program (see chapter 3.7.4 Use a program). When the pump is working, the speed is
displayed on-screen and you can modify with the rotating button. The last chosen figure is memorized in
the program.
Inner diameter of the tubing
You have to enter and memorize this information for each program. It will then be useful to calibrate the
pump.
To change this figure, select the line “TUBE” and press the rotating button.
Then by turning the button, change the figure and validate by pressing the button.
Note : after having changed the figure of the tubing’s diameter, it is recommended to make a calibration.

3.7.3 Calibration
When ?
- When you change program because calibration is made for each program even if the tubing diameter
remains the same.
- Each time you put the tubing back in the pump head, because the tubing is inserted differently and can
change flow.
Necessity of a calibration
Dispensing of a dose
See introduction on this subject chapter 3.5.2 Programs and calibration.
Dispensing in continuous mode
In the continuous mode, the flow appears on-screen. The flow is proportional to the rotation speed of the
pump. The calibration enables to evaluate precisely this proportionality and put on-screen the precise
flow.
The operation of calibration is not absolutely necessary: if you fill in correctly information about the inner
diameter of the tubing, the FlexiPump®can then figure out the flow for an average viscosity and function
correctly. But to maintain an optimal precision, calibration is recommended.
Principle of operations
The operation consists in pouring a fixed volume of liquid in conditions closest to real conditions, to
measure it and then enter the value of the volume in the machine so that it can calculate the ratio
between the volume and the number of rotations made, that is to say the flow rate.
The method to measure a volume is generally to weigh the poured liquid and convert its weight in
volume, knowing the weight of the liquid.
The conditions that must be met:
•diameter of the tubing : install the tubing shown in the program
•viscosity : pour the appropriate liquid, at the appropriate temperature (not other settings)
•volume : choose a container accordingly to a dose
Procedure
Summary: Tare a container corresponding to the volume of a dose. Fill it with the FlexiPump®and
