Long-term infusion with Gilson peristaltic pumps

The Gilson MINIPULS 3 is a compact, high-performance, low-pulsation peristaltic pump with interchangeable pump heads. It transfers a wide variety of liquids (biological, chemical, etc.) without altering their critical properties, thanks to a design that preserves the fluid’s fluidity.

Features of the Gilson MINIPULS 3 peristaltic pump

  • Virtually pulsation-free flow generated by positive displacement technology and up to ten stainless steel rollers
  • Reproducible and accurate flow rates thanks to adjustable speed stepper motor and quality tubing
  • Interchangeable heads: standard models for 1, 2, 4 or 8 channels; high-flow versions for 2 or 4 high-flow channels
  • Simple, intuitive interface: operation via keypad, LCD screen, priming, direction selection, flow control; remote control possible
