Biopharma companies can run the fluid path in their process more efficiently with the new Masterflex® MasterSense™ B/T® peristaltic pump. This powerful pump is engineered for continuous duty biopharma process applications. With 316 stainless steel housing and IP66 rated, the pump is designed for use in washdown environments. Many other unique features such as an intuitive touchscreen, over-the-air firmware updates, three-level user access, and advanced connectivity make it easy to operate, collaborate and connect.
Options for connectivity include EtherNet/IP™, Profibus, analog remote I/O capability using current or voltage signals, and MasterflexLive® technology. MasterflexLive is a secure, cloud-enabled platform for monitoring and control of Masterflex pumps. This technology allows pump operators to get real-time control of all pump parameters including speed, flow rate, and dispense volume. monitor and adjust critical processes running 24/7 without the need for onsite personnel. notifications alert to operating conditions and error messages.
The pump also offers a broad flow range from 0.65 to 42 LPM (0.17 to 11.1 GPM) for integration into higher-flow bioprocess applications. Modes of operation include continuous run, volume dispense, and time dispense modes—batch control and interval/off time in Volume and Time modes. The open-head sensor technology stops the drive motor when the pump head is opened. The Rapid-Load® pump-head occlusion mechanism slides the occlusion bed out of the way for easy tube loading and improved tubing life. A brushless, maintenance-free motor provides ±0.1% speed control accuracy, bidirectional flow, and self-priming capabilities provides seamless operation.
