  1. New Harvard Peristaltic Pumps R. Pelletier, September 2012

  2. What is a Peristaltic Pump • Positive displacement pump • Fluid is contained within a flexible tube fitted inside a circular pump casing • A rotor with a number of "rollers", attached to the external circumference compresses the flexible tube. • As the rotor turns, the part of tube under compression is pinched closed forcing the fluid to be pumped to move through the tube. • Flow Rate depends on tubing I.D., length of tubing, and motor rpm.

  3. Peristaltic vs. Syringe Pumps

  4. Peristaltic Markets Fluid Transfer & Volume/Time Dispensing in: • Academic Life Science • Pharmaceutical & Biotech • Food & Flavors • Chemical Industry • Semiconductor Near Term HA targets are Life Science and Pharmaceutical Sectors

  5. Application Areas • Large Volume Infusion • Sample Preparation • Recirculating Baths • Organ/Tissue Perfusion • Dosing/Filling • Dispensing Cell Culture Media • Large Volume Dispensing

  6. The Harvard Peristaltic Pump • Unique Architecture – Remote configuration • Interchangeable motor/heads – Versatility and wide range of flow rates • Digital Control - accuracy • Space Saving – use in incubators and hoods

  7. Flow Rate Ranges - 1 • P-70 Motor/Head – Low Flow perfusion and small volume dispensing • 5 Fluid Channels • 8 Rollers (smooth flow) • Flow from 0.001 to 70 mL/min per channel • Uses 3 collar tubing (0.13-2.79 mm ID)

  8. Flow Rate Ranges - 2 • P-230/Head – Organ/Tissue/Cellular Perfusion • 4 Fluid Channels • 8 Rollers (smooth flow) • Flow from 0.001 to 230 mL/min per channel • Uses 2 collar tubing (0.13-3.17 mm ID)

  9. Flow Rate Ranges - 3 • P-1500/Head – Bulk Fluid Transfer/Dispensing • 1 Fluid Channel • 4 Rollers • Flow from 0.01 to 1,500 mL/min • Uses straight tubing (0.8-8.0 mm ID)

  10. Controller Features • HA Touch Pad User Interface • Ease of Use • Tubing Library • Calibration • Timed or Volume Dispense/Delivery • Flow Ramps • Method Storage • Combine channels function for setting total flow • Constant Pressure Mode

  11. Quick Start Menu

  12. Pump Settings Settings allow for interchangeable drives/heads on one control unit

  13. Tubing Selection Icon indicates combined number of channels for flow rate. For example, P-70 with 2 channels selected will have maximum flow of 140 mL/min Built in library allows for the selection of HA supplied tubing or tubing of the customer’s choice

  14. Timed or Volume Dispense Set Dispense by time or Volume

  15. Method Profiles Methods may be linked as well as stored Advanced Options allow for methods to be tied to I/O events and time delays

  16. Calibration Pump calibration may be for single channel, or combined flow from multiple channels

  17. Run Screen Method Preview Method when running showing status

  18. Advanced Options & I/O Capabilities Allow for timed start/stop Remote start Signal in or out at start/during/end of run I/O Ports – Back Panel

  19. Competition - 2 General Types of Peristaltic Pumps • Type 1 - Analog (similar to HA MP-II) • Sell for $500 - $1,200 • Older design electronics • Flow rates are approximate • No modern features • Difficult to calibrate • Limited I/O capability

  20. Competition • Type 2 • Digital – Sell for $1,500 to $4,000 • Advanced electronics • Allow for calibration and direct setting of flow

  21. Competition • Main Competitors – Digital • Cole Parmer • Ismatec/Reglo • Watson Marlow • Wheaton Scientific

  22. Competition • Cole Parmer mainly 1-2 channel systems • Ismatec/Reglo multichannel systems, but low level electronics. Sold through distributors. • Watson Marlow mainly OEM supplier of pump heads. Wheaton uses WM heads.

  23. Competition • Compete on capabilities and application – • Start with number of channels and flow rates • Digital capabilities • Product Configuration options Know the competitive product and be sure you are making a valid comparison.

  24. Competition • HA Pricing is competitive • For P-70, HA ILP=$2,990, Competitive range is $2,900-$3,200. • For P-230, HA ILP=$3,162, Competitive range is $3,000-$3,300 • For P-1500, HA ILP=$2,474, Competitive Range is $2,200-$2600

  25. Not Direct Competition - low capability and low price HA MP-II IsmatecEcoline Reglo Analog Masterflex IP Series Masterflex CL Series

  26. Competition - Direct Masterflex Digital Drive Ismatec Compact Digital Ismatec Digital Drive Wheaton Omispense/Unispense Masterflex LS Series

  27. Accessories • Optimized tubing sets available for all HA Models • Customers can use their own tubing • Tubing sales can be a repeat business opportunity

  28. HA Marketing Activities • Shipments to begin in November • Brochure and web site promotion/eBlast in October • New Pump Catalog with Peristaltics in October • Exhibit at Neuroscience meeting in October • Demo pricing of 50% from ILP for distributors

  29. Distributor Activities • Prepare web site content • Identify local beta users • Plan promotional activities

  30. New HA Peristaltics
