Overview

A TA Electroforce peristaltic pump is available to generate steady flow through ElectroForceBioDynamic instruments and chambers.

Key Features

• For single-chamber, non-pulsatile BioDynamic test system applications
• Flow rate between 1 ml/min and 280 ml/min
• Peristaltic pump specific tubing is included
• Used on most BioDynamic 5110, 5210 test instruments, ElectroForce 3200 and TestBench BioDynamic chambers

Overview

For use with the TA ElectroForce multi-chamber BioDynamic test instruments, this pump provides up to 8 separate flow paths to allow for independent or combined flow loops.

Key Features

• Computer-controlled pump operation
• 8 separate flow cartridges
• Standard flow rate is between 0.36 ml/min to 36 ml/min
• Extra low flow option provides flow rate from 0.005 ml/min to 0.25 ml/min
• For use with most multi-chamber, non-pulsatile BioDynamic test instruments

Overview

The TA Electroforce gear pump provides a steadier flow output compared to peristaltic pumps and can be used on most ElectroForce BioDynamic test instruments with off-axis pulsatile flow.

Key Features

• Computer-controlled pump operation
• The gear pump provides steady flow output
• Pump flow rate ranges from 17 ml/min to 1760 ml/min
• Gear pumps are suitable for use with TA Electroforce pulsatile motors to create superimposed pulsatile flow
• Used on most pulsatile ElectroForce BioDynamic test instruments
