PERISTALTIC PUMPS
Harvard Apparatus MPII Mini-Peristaltic Pump
63
The Harvard MPII Mini-Peristaltic Pump takes only one size of tubing,
1.6 mm ID x 3.2 mm OD (1/16 x 1/8 in). It can be used with either a
single tube or two tubes simultaneously. Two of the PC5 55-4148 Pump
Head Tubing Pieces are included with the pump. Additional Pump Head
Tubing Pieces (PC5 55-4148) may be purchased separately.
Two front panel controls provide flow rates from approximately
0.8 to 24.5 ml/min. The control knob provides variable adjustment
from 0 to 100% of the selected flow rate range. The second control is
a two position toggle switch marked x1, x2 which selects low or high
flow rates, see table to right.
The easy-loading four-roller pump head is on top of the stout metal
box. The back of the pump head effortlessly rotates into an `open'
position and either one or two tubes can be dropped into slots. The
loaded section simply rotates back against spring loaded jaws and
locks into place. The tubing is automatically in proper wiping contact
with the pump head rollers. Each Pump is provided with a 12.5
mm (0.5 in) rod clamp on the back so that multiple pumps can be
mounted vertically on a lattice rod.
