Overview
The BT100L Flow-Controlled Peristaltic Pump is an industrial-grade, precision fluid transfer system engineered for repeatable, contamination-free metering in laboratory, pilot-scale, and light industrial applications. Utilizing the positive displacement principle of peristaltic pumping—where rollers compress flexible tubing to propel fluid without contacting internal pump components—the BT100L eliminates cross-contamination risks and enables safe handling of aggressive, shear-sensitive, or sterile media. Its core architecture integrates a brushless DC motor, high-torque planetary gear train, and closed-loop speed feedback control to ensure stable rotational output across its full 0.1–150 rpm range. Unlike basic on/off peristaltic drivers, the BT100L operates as a true flow-regulated instrument: users input target volumetric flow rates (mL/min) directly on the interface, and the firmware dynamically calculates and maintains corresponding motor speed based on pre-loaded tube geometry and material compliance data—minimizing reliance on manual calibration while supporting traceable process documentation.
Key Features
- Intuitive Touchscreen Interface: A 65,535-color TFT LCD with capacitive multi-touch support provides real-time visualization of flow rate, cumulative volume, direction status, and system temperature—reducing operator training time and minimizing input errors.
- Stainless Steel 304 Enclosure: IP54-rated dust-resistant chassis constructed from electropolished 304 stainless steel ensures mechanical durability, chemical resistance, and compatibility with cleanroom-adjacent environments and regulated manufacturing spaces.
- Expert System Guidance: Embedded operational logic assists first-time users through setup, tube loading, flow calibration, and routine maintenance—standardizing procedures across multi-shift operations without requiring advanced technical expertise.
- Intelligent Thermal Management: Adaptive fan control modulates cooling output based on ambient temperature and motor load, reducing acoustic noise to <45 dB(A) at 1 m and extending component service life.
- Flow-Centric Workflow Tools: Includes “Simple Dispensing” mode for rapid batch transfers with programmable volume targets and auto-stop functionality—ideal for reagent preparation, cell culture media dosing, or buffer exchange protocols.
- Comprehensive External Integration: Supports isolated digital (TTL) and analog (0–10 V, 4–20 mA, 0–10 kHz) control signals, plus RS485 serial communication with MODBUS RTU protocol—enabling seamless synchronization with PLCs, SCADA systems, or automated liquid handlers.
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The BT100L is designed for use with standard peristaltic tubing compliant with ISO 8536-4 and USP Class VI specifications. When paired with the YZ15 single-channel pump head, it accommodates tubing sizes #13, #14, #16, #17, #18, #19, and #25 (inner diameters 0.5–3.2 mm; wall thicknesses 0.1–1.0 mm), delivering a validated flow range of 0.006–575 mL/min. The pump head’s dual-roller compression geometry ensures uniform occlusion and low pulsation (<5% peak-to-peak variation under steady-state conditions). While the device itself carries no FDA 510(k) clearance or ISO 13485 certification, its modular design, non-invasive fluid path, and deterministic flow behavior make it suitable for GxP-aligned processes when deployed with qualified tubing and documented calibration procedures. Audit trail generation is supported via external data logging systems interfacing through RS485 or analog outputs—facilitating compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 requirements when integrated into validated software environments.
Software & Data Management
The BT100L does not include proprietary PC software but delivers full interoperability with third-party automation platforms via its open MODBUS RTU register map. Key registers expose real-time parameters—including actual speed (rpm), setpoint flow (mL/min), totalized volume (mL), direction flag, and fault codes—enabling bidirectional control and historical trending. For laboratories operating under GLP or GMP frameworks, the pump supports periodic verification through flow calibration routines that store up to 10 user-defined tube profiles (ID, wall thickness, material type) with timestamped entries. All operational states—including power cycles, parameter changes, and emergency stops—are retained in non-volatile memory with battery-backed retention for ≥10 years, satisfying minimum data integrity expectations for regulated workflows.
Applications
- Automated sample introduction in HPLC, IC, and continuous-flow spectroscopy systems
- Controlled feeding of catalysts or initiators in polymerization reactors
- Buffer delivery and gradient formation in protein purification (AKTA-compatible setups)
- Cell culture media perfusion in bioreactor auxiliary loops
- Environmental water sampling and on-site filtration pre-concentration
- Pharmaceutical excipient dispensing during oral solid dosage R&D
- Chemical synthesis reagent addition with stoichiometric precision
FAQ
What tubing sizes are compatible with the YZ15 pump head?
The YZ15 head accepts standard peristaltic tubing with inner diameters from 0.5 mm (#13) to 3.2 mm (#25), including sizes #14, #16, #17, #18, #19, and #25—provided wall thickness remains within 0.1–1.0 mm.
Does the BT100L support flow calibration for different tubing materials?
Yes. Users can perform and save up to 10 independent flow calibrations per tubing ID, accounting for variations in durometer, elasticity, and dimensional tolerance—critical for maintaining accuracy across silicone, Viton®, and Tygon® formulations.
Can the pump be integrated into a 21 CFR Part 11-compliant environment?
While the BT100L lacks built-in electronic signatures or audit trail logging, its RS485/MODBUS interface allows integration with validated LIMS or MES platforms that provide full Part 11 functionality—including user authentication, change tracking, and electronic record retention.
Is infrared remote control available on the BT100L model?
No. Infrared remote functionality is exclusive to the BT101F and BT100F distribution-series models; the BT100L relies on touchscreen, front-panel buttons, or external wired/serial control.
What is the expected service life of the YZ15 pump head under continuous operation?
With proper tube selection and routine roller alignment checks, the YZ15 head typically achieves >10,000 hours of operational life before requiring recalibration or bearing replacement—consistent with ISO 5840-3 recommendations for rotating fluid-handling components.
