Masterflex® – The Gold Standard in Peristaltic Pump Technology

In any environment requiring precise fluid control, from **research laboratories** to industrial production lines, **peristaltic pumps** play a crucial role. The **Masterflex® peristaltic pump system** from Avantor Fluid Handling is a market-leading solution, distinguished by its durable design (“engineered for a long life”), offering “superior accuracy and repeatability,” ensuring optimal performance throughout all stages from initial research to large-scale production.

Masterflex® pumps integrate the latest technologies such as **MasterSense™** (integrated sensor technology) and **MasterflexLive®** (cloud connectivity), enabling easy control and convenient tube changes. This makes them “a low-maintenance and cost-effective solution” for all your peristaltic pumping needs.

Breakthrough Technologies Common to All Masterflex® Pump Systems

While each Masterflex® pump series has its unique characteristics, all are built upon a foundation of advanced common technologies that significantly enhance performance and user experience:

 
• MasterSense™ Integrated Sensor Technology: This integrated pressure sensing feature monitors real-time pressure values on the pump interface. Users can configure high/low setpoint alarms, trigger alerts, and/or automatically shut down the pump in case of an issue, providing high reliability and safety for the process.

 

• MasterflexLive® Cloud-Enabled Connectivity: This secure, cloud-enabled platform allows for 24/7 remote **monitoring of Masterflex® pumps**. You can receive real-time notifications on speed, flow rate, dispensed volume, and other parameters, enabling efficient process management without on-site personnel and providing alerts for operating conditions or errors. Connects via standard Wi-Fi or Ethernet (RJ45).

 

• Superior Accuracy and Repeatability: Masterflex® pump drives ensure repeatable and precise flow control, which is core to sensitive dispensing applications.

 

• Intuitive Interface: Large (5-inch or 7-inch depending on the series) TFT/RGB touchscreen displays with sharp resolution and wide viewing angles, helping quick and easy setup and programming. Most models allow for saving and recalling frequently used dispensing programs.

 

• Flexible Operating Modes: Including continuous run, volume dispense, time dispense with batch control, and interval/off time.

 

• Safety and Security: Open-head sensor technology stops the motor when the pump head is opened. Many models can connect to remote leak detectors. Three optional user access levels control pump operation privileges.

 

• Brushless, Low-Maintenance Motor: Provides high speed control accuracy and long lifespan.

 

• Bidirectional Flow and Self-Priming: For smooth, seamless operation.
