Equipment Model

OSTEC

Description

The OSTEC Laboratory Peristaltic Pump is a precision fluid-handling device designed for controlled and contamination-free transfer of liquids in laboratory environments. It operates by compressing flexible tubing to move fluids, ensuring that the liquid only contacts the tubing and not the pump mechanism. This makes it ideal for biological, chemical, and pharmaceutical laboratory applications requiring sterile, accurate, and repeatable fluid delivery.
