LAMBDA Laboratory Instruments introduces a new peristaltic
pump, the MAXIFLOW. This pump extends the product range of the high quality LAMBDA peristaltic
pumps PRECIFLOW, MULTIFLOW and HIFLOW, which have been specially developed for long term
continuous processes like in fermentations and cell cultures.

LAMBDA Laboratory Instruments introduces a new peristaltic pump, the MAXIFLOW. This pump
extends the product range of the high quality LAMBDA peristaltic pumps PRECIFLOW, MULTIFLOW and
HIFLOW, which have been specially developed for long term continuous processes like in
fermentations and cell cultures.
LAMBDA’s unique tubing compressing mechanics reduces pulsation and is very gentle to the tubing.
This leads to a long tubing life and the long term stability of flow rates even with low cost tubing. The
tubing economy is such that the peristaltic pump is paid back after the use of only 80m of tubing. Thus,
this is the only pump on the market which saves more money than it costs, says the company.
The MAXIFLOW peristaltic pump with its flow rate up to ten litres per hour is several times more
compact than other similar pumps on the market. Despite of this high flow rate the LAMBDA pumps
are so handy that they can be easily kept just in one hand and take only minimal space in any
installation. LAMBDA peristaltic pumps are programmable with extensive remote control
possibilities and an extremely broad digital flow rate setting in the range from 1 to 1000.
LAMBDA peristaltic pumps are used wherever a reliable, precise and long term stable operation is
required – for example in continuous processes as is often the case in many biotechnology
applications, fermentation, cell cultures, chromatography and the like. Therefore, they are also used
together with the laboratory fermenter/bioreactor system LAMBDA MINIFOR.
A real breakthrough in the utilization of pumps is provided by the pump-flow integrator which can be
further complemented by the PC control software PNet. This allows to use the pumps for new
applications, where special expensive instruments had to be used before. It is possible to use the
pumps to create gradients, to follow the kinetics of chemical or biological processes, measure growth
rates and the extent of growth of cultures in biotechnology, etc. The LAMBDA pumps are very well
suited also for chromatography e.g together with the polyvalent and easy-to-use Lambda OMNICOLL
fraction collector.
The utilization of the new PNet software is not only limited to the peristaltic or syringe pumps
LAMBDA VIT-FIT for liquids, but can also be used for the dosing of solid powdery substances with the
LAMBDA DOSER, a unique pump for the precise dosing of solid and crystalline substances, or even for
the measurement and control of the mass flow of gases with the LAMBDA Massflow controller. This is
essential for automatic pH control during cell cultures with the Lambda laboratory fermentation and
cell culture system Minifor or other existing fermentor systems.
