Pharmaceutical manufacturing and laboratory processes often require controlled movement of liquids, reagents and process fluids. A pump used in these applications needs to provide dependable fluid handling while allowing the process designer to select appropriate tubing for the liquid.
Peristaltic pumping technology can be useful because the liquid is transferred through flexible tubing by progressive roller compression.
💊 Peristaltic Pumps for Pharmaceutical Applications
Peristaltic pumps can be considered for various pharmaceutical liquid-handling requirements, including:
- Controlled liquid transfer
- Dosing
- Dispensing
- Reagent handling
- Process sampling
- Laboratory equipment
- Automated liquid-handling systems
- OEM equipment
The final pump and tubing selection should always be based on the specific application and applicable requirements.
🔬 Laboratory Liquid Handling
Laboratories may require accurate movement of relatively small or controlled quantities of liquids.
A tubing-based pumping arrangement can be useful for applications where:
- Controlled flow is required
- Different liquids need different tubing
- Fluid isolation is important
- Tubing replacement is part of routine maintenance
- Compact pump integration is required
🧪 Tubing Selection
Tubing plays a major role in peristaltic pump performance because the pumped liquid travels through it.
Important considerations include:
- Chemical compatibility
- Temperature resistance
- Tubing flexibility
- Internal diameter
- Required flow
- Operating conditions
ALPHA GLOBAL's published peristaltic pump information includes tubing options such as Silicone, Viton and Tygon, depending on application requirements.

🎯 Selecting a Pump for Pharmaceutical Applications
Before selecting a pump, evaluate:
- Required flow rate
- Liquid characteristics
- Tubing material
- Tubing size
- Temperature
- Pressure
- Required speed
- Operating cycle
- Cleaning requirements
- Equipment integration requirements
