Foaming culture media, sluggish syrup flow,
fluctuating solvent concentrations… -_-…
Actually, it’s just like dating:
No understanding of its “temperament,” no “sweetness” to enjoy!
Today, let’s skip romance and focus on decoding the “heart” of fluid media—achieving stable, efficient transfer through true compatibility.
01 | The Bubbly Drama Queen
Representative Liquids: Culture media, cleaning solutions (with surfactants), etc.
Temperament Traits: Prone to foaming; bubbles disrupt flow stability and liquid quality.
Common Scenarios: Bioreactor feeding, cosmetic ingredient mixing, etc.
Compatibility Solutions:
• Use low-pulsation peristaltic pumpswith optimized inlet tubing design.
• Pair with pulse dampenersor inline degassers(dampeners reduce pulsation but don’t eliminate foam).
Pro Tip: Peristaltic pumps (no seals/valves) generate less foamthan centrifugal/gear pumps.
Recommended Product: BT100S + YZ15T Pump Head
02 | The Sticky, Slow-Moving Type
Representative Liquids: Glycerin, polymer solutions, syrups, etc.
Temperament Traits: High viscosity, poor flowability, shear-thinning(non-Newtonian behavior).
Common Scenarios: Food processing, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals.
Compatibility Solutions:
• High-torque peristaltic pumps.
• Thick-walled tubing with larger inner diameter.
• Reduce pump speed
• Shorten inlet tube.
Recommended Product: WG600F + YZ35 Pump Head
03 | The Deceptively Gentle Hazard
Representative Liquids: NaOH, NaClO (corrosive/oxidizing agents).
Temperament Traits: Degrades rubber/metal parts; volatile or crystalline under stress.
Common Scenarios: Chemical dosing, waste transfer, pH adjustment.
Compatibility Solutions:
• Chemical-resistant tubing(e.g., Pharmed®).
• Ensure system sealingto prevent leaks/vapors.
• Control concentration/temperature (e.g., NaClO degrades in light).
Recommended Product: BT600F + YZ15T Pump Head
04 | The Delicate Sensitive Soul
Representative Liquids: Cell suspensions, protein solutions.
Temperament Traits: Shear-sensitive—high speed/shear causes denaturation.
Common Scenarios: Biopharma, medical infusion, sterile filling.
Compatibility Solutions:
• Low-shear, low-pulsationpumps.
• Biocompatible tubing(no leachables).
• Sterilizable systems (e.g., SIP).
Recommended Product: BT301F + YZ15T Pump Head
05 | The Gritty, Stubborn Type
Representative Liquids: Sludge, inks, pigments (particle-laden).
Temperament Traits: Abrasive, settles easily, clogs tubing.
Common Scenarios: Mining, coatings, food pulp transfer.
Compatibility Solutions:
• Abrasion-resistant tube.
• Larger tubing diameter to reduce clogging.
• Monitor and replace tubing proactively.
Recommended Product: WG600S + YZ35 Pump Head
06 | The Fiery Explosive Type
Representative Liquids: Ethanol, IPA (flammable solvents).
Temperament Traits: Low flashpoint, explosive vapors, electrostatic risks.
Common Scenarios: Pharma, petrochemicals, food alcohol dosing.
Compatibility Solutions:
• Use explosion-proof peristaltic pumps compliant with national standards in corresponding areas
• Select anti-static pump tubing to prevent electrostatic accumulation
• Maintain system closure to avoid vapor leakage
• Ensure adequate ventilation and strictly prohibit open flames or high-temperature heat sources
• Follow explosion-proof operation protocols to ensure personnel and equipment safety
Recommended Product: Explosion-Proof Series
